本文是讲我和我兄弟去Miami(迈阿密)旅游，当到达目的地后，来到六个月前订的宾馆，却意外被告知订的房间是下个星期的，且该宾馆房间已订满。正当不知如何办时，经理出来了，将他们安排在留出来的VIP房间，且不另外收他们的钱，这真是个意外的意外。

16. it 在said后的宾语从句中缺主语，应填代词；指代前句中的Miami这个地方，应用it。

17. earlier 在句中作状语，依然用副词；不变词性，可考虑用比较级；由时态had made，可知是“早在六个月前”就订好了。

18. were told 由句意或tell sb. sth.这一句型结构可知，是“我们被告知”，由上下文的时态可知，用一般过去时的被动语态。

19. but 这是考虑not…but…结构，意为“不是为那个星期订的，而是为后一个星期所订的”。

20. why 意为“我不知道为什么会发生这样的事”，故用why引导宾语从句。

21. for 因charge…for…是习惯搭配。

22. surprisingly 因本句已有作表语的形容词helpful，所以应当用副词来修饰形容词helpful，指“令人惊讶地，意外的”，故填surprisingly。

23. the 特指“在顶楼”。

24. where 先行词是地点the beach且在定语从句中作状语，故填where (=on which =and on the beach =and there)。

25. sunburnt /sunburned 在表示“变化”的got后作表语，要用形容词；sunburn是名词，其形容词形式是sunburnt或sunburned。因sunburn在最权威的 英语词典朗文与牛津中都只注为名词，将sunburnt和sunburned标注为形容词，所以作出上述解析。考纲上也将sunburnt注为形容词，但 没有sunburn一词。另外，在网上有的词典词中也有注为动词的，若真可作动词，也可解释为是“got+过去分词”表示不尽人意的被动语态。
