A
A long layover(滞留)can be absolutely annoying. What are you supposed to do if you've got six, eight, or 12 hours to kill before your next flight? Most of the time, your options are to eat an overpriced meal, or to browse an overpriced bookstore. Well, you might have more choices than you think. These are the airports with the world's coolest activities you'd never expect.
Munich Airport (MUC), Munich: Brewery(酿酒厂)tours
Where else but in Germany would you find not only a lively beer garden at an airport but also the actual brewery that supplies it? Airbräu is home to an award-winning lineup of cold ones and even offers brewery tours if you've got the time.
Los Angeles International (LAX), Los Angeles: Canine Friends
You're already anxious enough at the airport, and a long layover is bound to make it worse. Sounds like you need to take advantage of the therapy dogs at the Pets Unstressing Passengers program (PUP for short).
Incheon International (ICN), Seoul: Ice-Skating Rink
There's tons of stuff to do at Incheon International, including catching a movie or checking out a cultural museum. But what really sets it apart is the free ice-skating rink and ice forest, which opens seasonally. Don't worry: inline skating(直排轮滑) is available year-round.
Hong Kong International (HKG), Hong Kong: Golf Simulator(模拟器)
Hong Kong Airport used to be home to a real nine-hole golf course, but it was closed in 2015 due to an expansion of the airport hotel. Still, while you're waiting for your flight, you can borrow some clubs and hit the Golfzon simulator located in Terminal 2. It's probably better for air traffic control this way.
1. If your flight from Munich to Hongkong is delayed, you may choose to________
A. walk a therapy dog
B. hit the Golfzon simulator
C. visit a beer garden
D. enjoy the beer festival
2. What makes Incheon International better than others?

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Munich Airport (MUC), Munich: Brewery(酿酒厂)tours部分的Where else but in Germany would you find not only a lively beer garden at an airport but also the actual brewery that supplies it? (除了德国，你还能在哪里找到机场里热闹非凡的啤酒园，以及提供正真啤酒的酿酒场呢？)可知，在慕尼黑的机场里有提供真正啤酒的啤酒园。如果从慕尼黑到香港的航班延迟了，乘客可以去参观啤酒园。C. visit a beer garden(参观啤酒园)符合以上说法，故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Incheon International (ICN), Seoul: Ice-Skating Rink部分的But what really sets it apart is the free ice-skating rink and ice forest, which opens seasonally. Don't worry: inline skating(直排轮滑) is available year-round.(但它真正与众不同的是免费的溜冰场和季节性开放的冰森林。别担心，直排轮滑全年都可用。)可知，让仁川国际机场和比其他机场都好的是它全年免费开放的溜冰场。B. Going skating as you like.(随意溜冰)符合以上说法，故选B项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的A long layover(滞留)can be absolutely annoying. What are you supposed to do if you've got six, eight, or 12 hours to kill before your next flight? (长时间的滞留完全可能让人生气。如果你在下一次飞行前还有6个、8个或12个小时要打发，你该怎么办？)和These are the airports with the world's coolest activities you'd never expect.(这些机场有世界上你想象不到的、最酷的活动。)以及下文介绍的四个机场的特殊活动，可推测本文的目的是给读者介绍一些在机场滞留时可以做的有趣的事情。C. To introduce interesting layover activities.(为了介绍有趣的滞留期间参加的活动)符合以上推测，故选C项。
