二、完型填空（共10题，每题1分，共10分）
In America, youth hostels always make people think of dirty hotels and ___16___ boys. They are cheap, but you get what you pay for. At least that’s how I thought about them, until I went to ___17___.
On a long weekend, my friends and I decided to take a flight from Barcelona to Rome. As students without much money, we were trying to make the trip as ___18___ as possible, so we had to choose a youth hostel.
The room was beautiful. With pink painted walls, paintings of Italian views, and pretty tasteful lights, it was nicer than many of the hotels I stayed in for more money in America; maybe ___19___ the bunk beds (双层床)I don’t like.
Upon returning from our journey through Rome we were ready for a ___20___ night in. To my surprise, ___21___, we were welcomed with a wine night hosted by the hostel. In the dining room, the hosts put many bottles of wine on the table. Young travellers gathered around the table to drink wine. Some had just ___22___, and others had been there for a few weeks. We decided to sit down and were welcomed like we were already___23___.
Some of them were from Germany, others from Spain. Regardless of where they were from, or where they were going, they were all sitting at that table in that moment. ___24___you are travelling, that’s the only thing needed to make a friend.
Hostels are more than just a place to lay your head for the night. They aren’t ___25___, and they are places for young travelers to gather and get energy before starting out on their next big journey. Unlike a lot of hotels, hostels are not a destination, but a place you pass through.
A
without
B
with
C
except
D
including
正确答案 ：C
解析
句意“也许除了我不喜欢的双层床。”A项：without“没有”；B项：with“和……一起”；C项：except“除了”；D项：including“包括”。根据上文“The room was beautiful. With pink painted walls, paintings of Italian views, and pretty tasteful lights, it was nicer than many of the hotels I stayed in for more money in America”可知，作者对罗马的旅社很满意，除了自己不喜欢的双层床。故本题答案为C。
