The motel, or motor inn, is the latest kind of place in which people who are away from home can stay. The first motel opened, it is said, in 1901 in Arizona. It was called Askin’ s Cottage Camp. Later it was known as Askin’ s Auto Camp, and the motel is still in operation there.
    It is believed that the word was first used in 1925 by the Milestone Motel. When the owner was painting the name of the place on a sign and saw that he had not allowed enough room on the board to have "Milestone Motor Hotel", he changed it to "Milestone Motel".
    Front the early days when a ten-room court was considered large, motels have grown. Today there are many with hundreds of units. Moreover, motel owners provide more and more for the guests’ comfort and pleasure--such things as a choice of free radio or television, swimming pools, free parking and telephone service in every room.
选项 A、When the owner was painting his room for "Milestone Motor Hotel", he thought of it.
B、It stands for "many hotel rooms" in Milestone Motor Hotel.
C、The owner disliked the name of "Milestone Motor Hotel" and changed it.
D、The owner shortened the full name of the hotel for lack of space on the signboard.
答案 D
解析 事实题。通过浏览选项，很快发现四个选项的共同之处：与“Milestone Motor Hotel”的名称有关，考生可推测本题与Milestone Motor Hotel的名称有关，就要注意听有这个关键词的句子：he had not allowed enough room on the board to have“Milestone Motor Hotel”， he changed it to“Milestone Motel”．——“Milestone Motor Hotel”旅馆老板在写招牌时为省空间，把招牌板上原先的“Milestone Motor Hotel”三个单词的名字更名为两个字的店名“Mile stone Motel”。此处难点是对单词room的正确理解，此处为“空间”(space)，而不是平常意义的“房间”。正确答案为D。
