名師點評

哈里斯很少住星級賓館，一次在羅馬旅行時住進了一家五星級賓館，因為對賓館提供的服務不勝了解，結果鬧出了笑話。

答案解析在下一頁

1.D。根據(jù)下文，哈里斯夫婦出國旅游并住進高級賓館，說明他們賺了很多錢。故選money。

2.B。made a lot of money與下文go to a foreign country構成因果關系， 故選so。

3.A。與下文他們住進a 5-star hotel相對應，這里應選擇hotel。

4.C。表示到達目的地，reach可直接接賓語， get后應加介詞to， arrive為不接物動詞，后應加介詞in或at才能接賓語，所以arrive為正確選項。

5.A。根據(jù)文章的第一句，以前他都是住的small hotel，這里應選small。

6.B。on和during都不能與seven連用。他們估計要挨餓，說明在以前住的賓館里7點以后不可能有飯菜供應。故應選擇after。

7.C。有人告知飯菜供應會持續(xù)到十點時，他們理應感到surprised。

8.D。of常用來表示所有關系，the times of the meals表示“每頓飯的供應時間”。

9.B。根據(jù)西方人的生活習性，賓館一般不會在一段時間只供應啤酒，下午喝茶比較合乎常理。故選tea。

10.D。哈里斯以為從早到晚都得在吃飯或喝茶，幾乎沒有剩余時間觀光旅游了，leave表示“剩下，遺留”，為正確選項。
