2021版高考英语通用版大二轮复习---高考题型抢分练(七)word版

Never mind that most travelers nowadays have smart phones with built-in alarm clocks. 2 Here are some examples. At the Wolcott Hotel, if a wake-up call is unanswered, they will send an employee to your door. At Las Ventanas al Paraiso, an employee shows up at your room to wake you up with tea, coffee and breakfast bread. At the Mandarin Oriental, a person rather than an automated system will call to wake you up. 3 Hotels have always taken the wake-up call seriously. 4 If you don’t get your call within five minutes of the requested time, you won’t have to pay for your room. Travelers, too, still want to have an option of a wake-up call. A study of 285 guests at Crown Plaza found that 53% considered a wake-up call very important.

5 In the late 1980s, hotels turned to automated systems. Then all you’d get was a ring and silence. In the ever-competitive race for loyal customers, however, many hotels are now getting creative with the wake-up call. Some hotels even have recordings of celebrity voices. And more hotels will go back to the old in-person system of wake-up calls.

A. But they might bring you coffee.

B. If you don’t answer, you’ll get a wake-up knock. C. Crown Plaza, for instance, has a wake-up call guarantee. D. But the wake-up call became less personal over the years. E. The hotel gets 15 to 30 requests for wake-up calls each day. F. The human wake-up call is a way to personalize a guest’s stay.

G. Some guests sleep through the call, while others turn their phone ringers off.

2. 【解析】选F。前文Never mind that most travelers nowadays have smart phones with built-in alarm clocks. (大多数旅行的人都有手机闹铃, 那也没关系), 后文举例说明各个酒店的个性人工叫醒服务, 故而该空应是过渡句, F项The human wake-up call is a way to personalize a guest’s stay. (人工叫醒是一种个性化客人入住的方式)符合题意。故选F。

3. 【解析】选B。前文以文华东方酒店为例, 提到酒店不使用自动化的电话叫醒, 而是人工, 后句应选B项If you don’t answer, you’ll get a wake-up knock. (如果你不接电话, 那么就有人来敲门)与之衔接, 进一步印证酒店人工叫醒的人性化。 4. 【解析】选C。前文Hotels have always taken the wake-up call seriously. (酒店对叫醒这件事是非常认真的)是本段主题句, 而后文介绍了皇冠假日酒店有措施确保叫醒服务得以实施。故选C项Crown Plaza, for instance, has a wake-up call guarantee. (例如, 皇冠假日酒店就有叫醒服务保证)。

5. 【解析】选D。后文提到在20世纪80年代末, 酒店转向自动化系统。故D项But the wake-up call became less personal over the years. (但随着时间的推移, 叫醒电话变得不那么私人了)切题。
