（分数：

7.10）

 A.Itsroomsarewellfurnishedbutdimlylit.

 B.Itmakesguestsfeellikefallingintoablackhole.

 C.Thereisnoaccesstotelevisioninitsrooms. √

 D.Itprovidesalltheluxuriesitsguestscanthinkof.

解析：

【线索词】RostRanchInn【定位】由线索词定位到第四段…Inoticedthatthosewhopartwith$2285anighttostayinacliff-toproomatthePostRanchInninBigSur,California,paypartlyfortheprivilegeofnothavingaTVintheirrooms...【精析】细节推断题。

定位段提到，“我”注意到波斯特农庄酒店的崖顶房间的费用很高，因为在这里可以享受房间里没有电视的特权。

由此可见，这家酒店的特殊之处就在于房间里没有电视。

C）中的noaccesstotelevision是对文章中nothavingaTV的同义转述。

由此确定C）为本题答案。

（2）.Whatdoestheauthorsaythechildrenoftomorrowwillneedmost?

（分数：

7.10）

 A.Convenienceandcomfortineverydaylife.

 B.Timeawayfromallelectronicgadgets. √

解析：

【线索词】thechildrenoftomorrow【定位】由线索词定位到第九段…thechildrenoftomorrowwilllongfornothingmorethanintervalsoffreedomfromalltheblinkingmachines,streamingvideosandscrollingheadlines...【精析】细节推断题。

定位段指出，未来的孩子最渴望得到的就是摆脱所有这些闪烁不止的机器、川流不息的视频文件以及滚动的大字标题的自由的间歇。

B）中的Timeawayfrom是对intervalsoffreedomfrom的同义转述，allelectronicgadgets是对alltheblinkingmachines,streamingvideo,andscrollingheadlines的总结概括。

由此确定B）为本题答案。

（3）.WhatdoestheFrenchphilosopherBlaisePas
