Travelers today have more choices than ever. A young backpacker carrying one heavy piece of 11 may look for a cheap 12, where beds are shared and the kitchen is open to everyone. A family driving across the island often stops at a 13 beside the highway, because they can park right outside the door. Older visitors may prefer a small country 14 with six rooms and a hot breakfast. Whatever the budget, travel writers give the same 15: book early, read recent reviews, and check exactly what the price includes.
Questions 11–15

Bautobiography
Chostel

Dpound
✔ 正確答案:(B) inn
解析small country ____ with six rooms 指鄉間的「小旅館 inn」。rank 級別、swell 腫脹、pound 猛擊皆不通。
Every summer this quiet fishing town fills with visitors, and 16 is now its biggest industry. Most people come by bus and stay for only one day. In the morning they join a guided 17 to the waterfall in the hills; in the afternoon they walk along the harbor and buy a small wooden bird as a 18. Shopkeepers welcome the money; 19, some older residents complain that the streets are far too crowded and that rents keep rising. The council now plans to limit the number of buses, hoping to make August more 20 for everyone.
