名师点评
哈里斯很少住星级宾馆,一次在罗马旅行时住进了一家五星级宾馆,因为对宾馆提供的服务不胜了解,结果闹出了笑话。
答案简析
1.D。根据下文,哈里斯夫妇出国旅游并住进高级宾馆,说明他们赚了很多钱。故选money。
2.B。made a lot of money与下文go to a foreign country构成因果关系, 故选so。
3.A。与下文他们住进a 5-star hotel相对应,这里应选择hotel。
4.C。表示到达目的地,reach可直接接宾语, get后应加介词to, arrive为不接物动词,后应加介词in或at才能接宾语,所以arrive为正确选项。
5.A。根据文章的第一句,以前他都是住的small hotel,这里应选small。
6.B。on和during都不能与seven连用。他们估计要挨饿,说明在以前住的宾馆里7点以后不可能有饭菜供应。故应选择after。
7.C。有人告知饭菜供应会持续到十点时,他们理应感到surprised。
8.D。of常用来表示所有关系,the times of the meals表示每顿饭的供应时间。
9.B。根据西方人的生活习性,宾馆一般不会在一段时间只供应啤酒,下午喝茶比较合乎常理。故选tea。
10.D。哈里斯以为从早到晚都得在吃饭或喝茶,几乎没有剩余时间观光旅游了,leave表示剩下,遗留,为正确选项。
