题文
Heading back to the room for dinner and a hot shower may sound like the act of a tired tourist ,but in a traditional Japanese inn ─ or ryokan ─ those activities can be as interesting as anything along the sightseeing trail.“People going looking for a sort of nostalgic(怀旧的),old-fashioned ,and traditional view of Japanese life will find it most easily in a ryokan,”said Peter Grilli, the president of Japan Society of Boston, Massachusetts.Many ryokans sprang up in the 17th century to put up feudal lords traveling along the Tokaido highway to Edo(now Tokyo). Today tourists looking for a taste of the country’s historic lifestyle find varying levels of understated elegance in ryokans throughout the country.
A typical stay starts with a greeting from the inn’s staff and a change from street shoes into slippers .An attendant leads guests to their rooms, where slippers are removed before walking on the rice-straw flooring, called tatami. Walking slowly along behind a kimonoclad（身穿和服的）attendant on the creaky wood floors of Fukuzumiro ryokan,s hallways is like stepping back in time. The inn was established in 1890 by a former samurai（武士）.
Tim Paterson ,33, a banker living in Tokyo, has stayed at several ryokans. This New Zealand native leaves after a recent stay at Fukuzumiro. “I think it’s quite good mixing culture with history and not just going to see it ,but living in it, staying in it,”he said. Sliding glass doors line the inn’s rural hallways, bringing in the sound of tricking water and the quietness of the stone and tree-filled courtyards outside.

答案
小题1:B
小题2:A
小题3:B
小题4:C
解析
小题1:段意推测题。赶回住所吃饭、泡个热水澡听起来好像只有疲劳的旅行者才会这样做，然而在一家传统的日式客栈里，这些行为如同观光途中的见闻一样有趣。据此说明：吃饭、泡澡这样的活动也是重温昔日生活的一部分。
小题2: 细节理解题。根据第二段开头一句：早在17世纪，日本就涌现出大量日式客栈，这些日式客栈是为当时那些沿着东海道公路到东京旅行的封建王族们提供住处而修建。
小题3:排序题。根据第三段的意义可知典型的入住场景是这样的：客人一进门，客栈的工作人员就会上去打招呼，然后客人脱下旅行鞋，换上拖鞋。接着，服务员会把客人带到房间，客人脱掉拖鞋后才能走在“榻榻米”（一种稻草垫）上。
小题4:推理判断题。最后一段中，这位新西兰人离开客栈时说：“我觉得这里是文化与历史的完美结合。我们不只是参观，而是在此居住、逗留。”再根据短文最后一句对风景的描写：透过客栈颇具乡村风格的走廊上的玻璃拉门，依稀可以听到外面的涓涓流水声，看到铺着石头、郁郁葱葱的宁静的庭院。由此可以推断：他不仅觉得心情愉悦而且还深受文化的熏陶。
