Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．A;3．D;4．D;5．A;
解析：

文章第二段“They took it to a garage, and the men there repaired it, but it took a long time，”說明答案是C項。

提示：

(2)	第三段第四句話給出答案。
(3)	那個Spaniard先是敲門無人應之后又按門鈴，幾分鐘之后有人從窗子里探頭出來問話。
(4)	倒數第二段“We are Don Ramon Roberto Nanuel Claudio…”只是那個Spaniard的名而已，但是房東以為有很多人求宿，所以不開門。
(5)	根據文章大意，Spaniard夫婦在找一間旅店住宿，不是想找免費房住宿。
