阅读理解
If you are planning on travelling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all, always check and double－check departure (启程) time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten, my secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10：50. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have some local cash with you when you arrive in a country. Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. "Listen! I only take real money！" the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing.
The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.
18．According to the passage, the driver was angry because the writer ____.
A．did not give him the local money
B．gave him false money
C．offered to pay by credit card
D．had no enough change
19．Generally, in May the weather in London is ____.
A．warm and dry B．cold and dry
C．hot and wet D．cool and rainy
20．The writer mainly tells us ____.
A．how to plan our trip
B．how to enjoy ourselves on trip
C．how to make life easier
D．how to be well prepared for a trip

6．He is sure (come). I've persuaded him to join in our conversation.

二、改错题
11．单句改错
（1）I recommend (that) he must go to see his mother every week.
（2）He had the good fortune to join in the famous football club.
（3）If you ask me, I think you should choose which you like.
（4）All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.
（5）You get used to have your actions directed by others.
【答案】（1）must→should或去掉must
（2）去掉in
（3）which→what
（4）make→makes
（5）have→having
【解析】【分析】（1）考查虚拟语气。句意：我建议他每周去看望他的母亲。recommend后面的宾语从句，谓语动词用虚拟语气，即：（shhould）+动词原形，因此must改为should或去掉must。
（2）考查介词。句意：他很幸运地加入了那个著名的足球俱乐部。join 和join in当做“参与”“加入”讲的时候，意义是不同的。二者最重要的区别在于：join是指加入某个group、club或者organization或者其他的团体或者协会，强调“个人加入到集体中”；join in是指参与某个活动，等于take part in。因此去掉in。
（3）考查宾语从句。句意：如果你问我，我想你应该选择你喜欢的。此处使what引导的宾语从句，因此which改为what。
（4）考查主谓一致。句意：只工作不玩耍,聪明的孩子就会变傻。"all work and no play" 在思维上的语义概念是一体的，不应理解为两件事或者两个行为，所以句子的谓语动词用单数第三人称。因此make改为makes。
（5）考查非谓语动词。句意：你已经习惯了别人指导你的行为。get used to sth/doing sth.固定短语，”习惯于......“，因此have改为having。
点评】本题考点涉及虚拟语气，介词，宾语从句，主谓一致以及非谓语动词等知识点的考查，覆盖面广，综合性强，难度较大，区分度高。
12．单句改错
（1）What do you want to do at
the first day of school
（2）What did you feel at her
birthday party yesterday
（3）I decided to concentrate
all my efforts in finding somewhere to live.
（4）The English teacher spoke
too quick for the girl to understand him.
（5）Although I came to
America on my own, I didn't feel frightening.
【答案】（1）at→on
（2）What→How
（3）in→on
（4）quick→quickly
（5）frightening →frightened
【解析】【分析】（1）考查介词。句意：开学第一天你想做什么？在具体的某一天前用介词on，因此at改为on。
（2）考查疑问句。句意：昨天她的生日派对，你感觉如何？用how作feel的表语，因此What改为How。
（3）考查介词。句意：我决定集中所有的精力找个地方住。concentrate ... on...固定短语，“集中于.....”，因此in 改为on。
（4）考查副词。句意：英语老师讲得太快了,那女孩听不懂。副词修饰谓语动词作状语，因此quick改为quickly。
（5）考查形容词。句意：虽然我是自己来到美国的，但我并不害怕。frightened“受惊的, 受恐吓的” 用于形容人；frightening “ 令人恐惧的, 引起突然惊恐的 ”， 用于形容物。因此frightening改为frightened。
【点评】本题考点涉及介词，疑问句，副词，形容词等知识点的考查，覆盖面广，综合性强，难度较大，区分度高。
三、完形填空
13．阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have some local cash with you when you arrive in a country. Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. "Listen! I only take real money！" the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing.
The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和主旨大意两个题型的考查，是一篇旅游类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
18．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. ‘Listen! I only take real money!' The driver said in anger. Luckily, I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing."有一次我半夜到达一个地方，机场的银行关门了。到达酒店的唯一方法是乘坐出租车，因为我没有美元，所以我提出用英镑支付。司机愤怒地说："听着！我只拿真钱！。幸运的是，我能从酒店的一位店员那里借到几美元，但很尴尬。可知，司机生气是因为作者想给司机英镑，没有给司机当地的钱（美元），所以司机生气了。故选A。
19．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的"I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day."我为我的一些同事感到难过，他们在五月穿着厚重的西装和雨衣旅行，当时伦敦或曼彻斯特仍然相当凉爽；雅典、罗马或马德里等地，那里的天已经开始变得相当温暖。可知，五月的伦敦，天气凉爽，旅客需要穿厚衣服，带雨伞。因此说，五月伦敦的天气很凉爽并且多雨。故选D。
20．考查主旨大意。根据第一段"If you are planning on travelling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey. "如果你计划旅行，有一些关于如何在旅行前后让生活更轻松的简单规则。可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是告诉我们一些关于在旅行前后的简单规则，为旅行做准备。故选D。
