第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　Free Wi­Fi has become very important to us: many stores and shopping malls offer it, restaurants use it to attract customers, and for libraries and coffee shops it is a must­ have service.

　　Even when people are traveling, they scan for free Wi­Fi. When selecting or rating a hotel, six in ten travelers believe that unlimited Wi­Fi is the most important factor.

　　"Today, people will never forget to pack their smart phones, tablets and laptops into the suitcase，"said the Daily Mail. "We rely on free Wi­Fi heavily when traveling-especially when it comes to checking social media, checking out travel tips, and accessing websites."

　　However, despite the opportunities that free Wi­Fi gives us, "our over­ reliance on technology has come at a price, with travelers feeling unable to escape social media，"said Lonely Planet, the world's largest travel guide brand.

　　AnitaIsalska, Lonely Planet editor and tech addict, was forced to unplug when in an isolated (隔绝的) camp in Greenland recently."Adjusting to this slower pace, I began to realize that: social media had changed into a habit，"she wrote."I had believed I was capturing(捕捉) moments, but in reality my busy fingers were preventing me from enjoying travel's deepest pleasures. How fully can you appreciate a huge glacier or wild flowers when your brain is selecting the right photo filter (滤镜) or the perfect six seconds to take photos？"

　　In September, Lonely Planet released 10 predictions for the future of global travel. One of them was that true escapes will be highly valued in future, so remote hotels will start to make their lack of the Internet into an appealing feature. Would you like to have an unplugged holiday?
