答案：
【语篇解读】 本文为记叙文，题材为个人经历。讲述了作者的一次旅游经历。虽然预订房间出现了差错，但问题得到了很好的解决，作者感到很满意。
1.it 解析：考查代词。it指代Miami。
2.earlier 解析：考查副词。six months earlier六个月前。
3.were told 解析：考查被动语态。因为叙述的是过去发生的事情，we与tell之间是被动关系，所以本句使用一般过去时的被动语态。
4.but 解析：考查连词。not...but...不是……而是……。此处表示句意的转折。
5.why/how 解析：考查宾语人名的连接词。我不理解为什么会发生这样的事。/我不理解这样的事是如何发生的。
6.for 解析：考查介词。charge...for...为……收(费)。
7.surprisingly 解析：考查副词。此处修饰形容词helpful，所以应使用surprise的副词形式surprisingly。
8.the 解析：考查冠词。the top floor顶层。
9.where 解析：考查定语从句。因为先行词是地点名词，关系词在定语从句中作状语，所以填where。
10.sunburned/sunburnt 解析：考查过去分词。get sunburnt/sunburned晒伤。
