答案解析

【译文】在夏天度假季节期间，在这儿的旅馆很难找到空房。
【解析】形容词的含义。B．vacant表示“(旅馆、房子、公司等)有空位的、未被占用的”，如：There is a vacant position in our company．(我们公司有一个职位空缺。)A．empty表示“空的，没有任何东西的”。与vacant的区别在于：vacant强调“没有人占用的”，而empty指“什么东西都没有的”。如：a vacant room“(没有人占用的)空房间”，an empty room“(里面什么都没有的)空房间”。D．deserted用来指地方时表示“(因被抛弃而)无人居住的，被废弃的”，意思明显不符合句意。a free room表示“免费的房间”，也不符合句意。

3 TEXT A
Many of the home electric goods which are advertised as liberating the modern woman tend to have the opposite effect, because they simply change the nature of work instead of eliminating it. Machines have a certain novelty value, like toys for adults. It is certainly less tiring to put clothes in a washing machine, but the time saved does not really amount to much: the machine has to be watched, the clothes have to be carefully sorted out first, stains removed by hand, buttons pushed and water changed, clothes taken out, aired and ironed. It would be more liberating to pack it all off to a laundry and not necessarily more expensive, since no capital investment is required. Similarly, if you really want to save time you do not make cakes with an electric mixer, you buy one in a shop. If one compares the image of the woman in the women's magazine with the goods advertised by those periodicals, one realizes how useful a projected image can be commercially. A careful balance has to be struck: if you show a labour-saving device, follow it up with a complicated recipe on the next page; on no account hint at the notion that a woman could get herself a job, but instead foster her sense of her own usefulness emphasizing the creative aspect of her function as a housewife. So we get cake mixes where the cook simply adds an egg herself, to produce "that lovely home-baked flavour the family love", and knitting patterns that can be made by hand, or worse still, on knitting machines, which became tremendously fashionable when they were first introduced. Automatic cookers are advertised by pictures of pretty young mothers taking their children to the park, not by professional women presetting the dinner before leaving home for work.According to the passage, many of the home electric goods which are supposed to liberate women
