Travel tips that are no longer true

We all love an inside trip, but some of the classic tips for travelers no longer hold true. 【1】

1. Book a plane ticket far in advance to save money.

This myth may have been true back in the 1960s, when flights were less common than they are today. Back then, the demand for a flight would naturally increase as the date approached, there being few other options. 【2】 According to recent studies, the best time to buy a domestic ticket was between six and seven weeks before.

【3】

Don’t ignore the benefits of going straight to the hotel to negotiate (商談) a good deal on a room. Many hotel chains offer rate guarantees and encourage customers to book directly. Hotels also frequently have discounts or some offers that third-party websites don’t know. Apart from this, hotels give the upgrades, not the booking agents.

3. Avoid street food.

【4】 If this means standing up at a cheap street stall (攤位), then follow the crowd. Don’t sit down at a restaurant and spend four times more, on the simple assumption that it’s the only safe option. Can you see what’s going on in the kitchen?

4. Carry your money in a special pocket or pouch.

This is the fastest way to stand out from locals — who will have their money in a wallet or purse. Only take what you need when you leave your hotel room. 【5】

A. When in Rome, do what the Romans do.

B. And make sure to put your wallet in a front pocket.

C. This is only true if you are buying products that are heavily taxed.

D. Let yourself relax in a warm room for one or two people in single beds.

E. Check the updates on these tall tales (說大話) to save cash and add experience to your trip.

F. These days, many alternatives for the most popular routes mean that demand stays steady.

G. The best hotel prices are on travel websites.

【3】G

【4】A

【5】B

【解析】

試題分析：本文是一篇說明文。介紹了以前部分旅游指南現(xiàn)在都不適用了。比如：提前訂飛機票省錢、旅游網(wǎng)站上酒店便宜、不吃小攤食物、把錢放在特別的手提包里面。

【1】E 由第一句We all love an inside trip, but some of the classic tips for travelers no longer hold true.知我們都喜歡玩旅游攻略，但是有一些所謂經(jīng)典的旅游指南現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)不適用了。接下來就要更新觀點，節(jié)約用錢、增加旅游經(jīng)驗。故選E。

【2】F 由前一句the demand for a flight would naturally increase as the date approached, there being few other options.知隨著節(jié)假日臨近，對飛機票的需求急劇上升，選擇的余地越來越少。因此，對那些著名的路線的選擇需求是保持穩(wěn)定的。故選F。

【3】G 由第二句Many hotel chains offer rate guarantees and encourage customers to book directly. Hotels also frequently have discounts or some offers that third-party websites don’t know.知許多連鎖酒店提供擔(dān)保和鼓勵消費者直接訂酒店。酒店也經(jīng)常有折扣或優(yōu)惠,第三方網(wǎng)站不知道。網(wǎng)站上的酒店也不一定便宜。故選G。

【4】A 由本段最后一句Don’t sit down at a restaurant and spend four times more, on the simple assumption that it’s the only safe option. Can you see what’s going on in the kitchen?知不要坐在餐廳,花四倍價錢,假想高檔酒店是唯一安全的選擇。你能看到發(fā)生了什么在廚房里嗎?故選A。

【5】B 本段是介紹的錢該怎么放的問題，由Only take what you need when you leave your hotel room知當(dāng)離開酒店時，帶上需要的錢就行了，另外確保錢包在前面口袋。故選B。
