Question

Ann was on her first package trip in Rosas, Spain.

At the hotel, she checked in, and then went to her room to change before dinner. She was just ready to go downstairs when she found that her Spanish money wasn’t in her handbag. She carefully looked in all her luggage, but she couldn’t find it. All she had was a small purse with ten English pound notes in it!

Ann found a place to change her English money. She had very few pesetas(西班牙货币单位), and she would be here for two weeks. On her way back to the hotel, Ann bought some cheese, some bread and some oranges. When she got back, she told the manager that her doctor had told her not to eat Spanish food; she’d just have breakfast each day, as she knew the price of hotels included breakfast.

For the rest of her holiday, Ann swam in the hotel swimming pool, or lay on the beach and got a sunbath. When the other tourists went to interesting places, she always said she wasn’t well. In fact, her holiday wasn’t bad, except that she was always hungry. After all, a piece of fruit for lunch, and bread and cheese for supper isn’t very much.

Late in the afternoon of their last day, a girl, Jane, asked her why she never ate with them in the hotel restaurant. Ann told her about her money problems. Jane looked at her for a minute, and then said, “But didn’t you know? The price of this holiday includes everything!”

试题分析：本文叙述了Ann在一次去西班牙旅行的时候，由于不小心把自己的钱弄丢了，这严重影响了她的吃饭问题，她认为这次旅行只提供早饭，不包括午饭和晚饭，因为自己的钱不多了，所以她也不敢去看名胜，剩下的两顿饭只吃些水果充饥，把自己饿坏了，最后Jane告诉了她这是一次大包干的旅行，她非常吃惊。

1.细节理解题。根据The price of this holiday includes everything!”大包干的旅行，包括吃饭住宿等，故选D。

2.细节理解题。根据Ann told her about her money problems. 她把钱丢了，所以她怕拿不出钱来吃饭，故选A。
