【解析】

试题分析：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。

【1】had been 句意：以前在那里住的一些朋友说。可知定语从句中要用过去完成时态，故填had been。

【2】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。

【3】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。

【4】but 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”。

【5】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。

【6】for 因charge…for…是习惯搭配。

【7】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。

【8】the 特指“在顶楼”。

【9】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)。

【10】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/sunburned。
