听力原文： Travelers are booking hotel rooms in cities closer to home this summer, with the exception of two European magnets, according to a new survey.
Las Vegas scored the most July and August room reservations for the second year in a row, while another gambling Mecca, Reno, along with Honolulu moved onto the top 10 list for the first time, according to a tally of seasonal bookings from Hotels. com. Las Vegas has successfully pitched itself as an alternative family destination even in the desert' s hottest months. It's like a theme park city. Almost every hotel has a theme park inside it, so there's a lot to do for families.
Orlando displaced the Big Apple in the No. 2 spot, San Francisco moved up a notch into fifth place and Miami dropped out of the running, probably because of a decline in international tourism, Hotels. com president Bob Diener said. Paris's slip to No. 10 from No. 5 last year wasn't surprising given some Americans' resentment of France's lack of support for U.S. policy in Iraq, Diener said. But the omission of Boston was unexpected, especially in a year in which patriotism is a resounding theme in travel marketing, he said.
Overall summer travel is expected to rise 2.5 percent this year, with 83 percent of Americans planning at least one trip and 28 percent planning to travel more than last year, according to studies from the Travel Industry Association.
Which city got the most room reservations last summer？
A．Orlando.
B．Honolulu.
C．Las Vegas.
D．Boston.
第8题

The authorities have noticed a marked increase in "chatter". They have also picked up specific threats— some of them, it seems, to do with hijacking aircraft and crashing them into buildings. The targets reportedly included some big cities, for example, Las Vegas is a particular worry, but more obscure places were also chattered about, including Rappahannock County, or perhaps the town of Tappahannock, both in rural Virginia, and Valdez, in Alaska. The point of any such terrorism would be to make sure that no American anywhere felt safe.
A particular focus of concern has been flights from abroad. Air France canceled six flights between Paris and Los Angeles at American government's request. French authorities questioned and released a dozen or so passengers but several people with tickets, including one who was reportedly a trained pilot, failed to turn up for the flight. On December 29th some international airlines were ordered to place armed air marshals on flights over the United States.
On top of all this, there have also been more familiar signs of security being beefed up at nuclear plants, ports and other possible targets. Surface-to-air missiles have once again been conspicuously deployed in Washington, DC.
Inevitably, some people have begun to question whether putting the country on such a high state of readiness is worth it. The process costs about $1 billion a week. Critics worry that people will become unconcerned about repeated security alerts. They also complain about the government sending mixed signals: telling Americans they are in great jeopardy(危险) but also that they should go about their business as normal. However, the critics may be too fussy(挑剔的). It is extremely hard to see what else the government could have done without either ignoring credible threats or creating mass panic. This may be the only way to face the possible threats.
Why did officials appear more worried about the terror alert this time？
A．Because the raise of terror alert was in the seasonal festivities this time.
B．Because it was the fifth time to raise the terror alert to code orange.
C．Because terror alert would be kept at this level for a period of time.
D．Because officials in the Department of Defense all agreed on the decision.
