What can we learn about motels from the passage？
A．They are usually built in the downtown area.
B．They have several buildings closely connected.
C．They have a large number of rooms in tall buildings.
D．They are mainly for travelers who drive their own cars.
听力原文： The word "motel" means motorist hotel and is used chiefly by people traveling by car. Parking space is always available. Motels are usually located outside the center of town near major roads and are less expensive than hotels. Rates in motels are about $10 to $15 per person a day for a room and bath. Motels in and near large cities tend to be more expensive than this, in smaller towns the prices may be lower. Because motels are often located outside the center of the town, it will probably be inconvenient to stay in a motel unless you have a car or unless the motel is located near public bus or train lines. (29) Although reservations in advance are usually required in motels in busy areas, this is not always the case in less crowded parts of the country. Because of their convenience and economical prices, it is easy to understand why they are so popular with Americans.
During the early part of this century, most cities and small towns had a great number of "guest houses". These were large private homes with rooms that could be rented to visiting travelers. (30) Guest houses were warm and friendly places where you often could have a home-cooked meal as well as a clean room and bath. Today, unfortunately, few guest houses remain. They have been replaced by motels, (31) which offer the traveler modern conveniences such as television in the rooms and frequently the use of a swimming pool.
29. What do people need to do to live in the motels in busy areas？
30.Which is the characteristic of the guest houses？
31.Why don't the "guest houses" exist today？
(30)
A．They need to cost more money.
B．They need to drive there by cars.
C．They usually need to spend about $10 to $15 a day.
D．They usually need to reserve in advance.
The reason why many big hotels are being torn down is that ______.
A．they are losing their competition to motels
B．people need the materials to build small motels
C．it costs too much money to stay in a hotel
D．cities are usually short of land for building motels
A．the case
B．the reality
C．the truth
D．the fact
听力原文： Are you interested in knowing about how to find a place to stay when traveling in the United States？
Well, If you arrive by air, you will see plenty of hotels advertised at airports. If you arrive by train or car, probably the best thing to do is to look into the Yellow Pages under Hotels, Motels or Lodgings. You can start by comparing the services offered in their ads. In any case, you'll have to call them and see if they have the kind of room you're looking for.
Places for stay may be called hotels, motels or motor hotels, inns, lodges or resorts. They are all similar. Motels have plenty of parking space and are usually near a freeway or highway. Inns are usually like hotels. Lodges and resorts, or resort hotels, are in the mountains, on the coast or near lakes. Beds also go by many different names. Starting with the smallest, there are single, twin, double, queen and king size ones. "Long boys" are for exceptionally tall people. At some hotels, queen beds are of smallest size, so a double room has two of them. Some hotels even offer their guests waterbeds. Hide-a-beds are sofas that unfold out to make beds.
People who prefer camping to staying in hotels will have a hard time in American cities, because most of them don't have campgrounds nearby. You can camp in state and national parks, though, which generally have facilities for both tents and trailers.
It is my sincere wish that you will have a good time touring the States, and find a nice place to rest yourself.

D．To call the hotels and book a room in advance.
Although trains were a popular means of travel for some time, automobiles slowly began to take their place. Automobile travel caused problems for city hotels, which did not have parking space for so many cars.
People who traveled by automobile needed a different kind of hotel. They needed places to stay that were near highways and had room to park. Motorists did not like to drive in heavy city traffic to reach a hotel. The answer to the motorists' problems came when a new kind of hotel was built. These new buildings were called motels, a word made from the first part of MOTORIST and the last part of HOTELS.
Motels were much smaller than hotels. Built on ground level, often in separate units, they were more convenient for people traveling. The separate units also made them quieter than hotels. Best of all, there was more than enough room for cars to park. Now, many big hotels in the cities are being torn down. They can no longer make enough money to stay in business. In their place, many small motels have been built on the outskirts of cities. Motels have become a big business in the United States.
The first hotels were built ______.
A．with hundreds of rooms
B．around the city centers
C．near railway stations
D．not far away from roads

The first hotels were very different from today's hotels. They were small inns built along the road. Later, as people began to travel by train, hotels were built in the centers of large cities. Usually located near railroad stations, these hotels were many stories tall and had hundreds of rooms.
