【解题导语】 因为语言不通, 作者在英国一家酒店的餐厅进餐时遇到了不少糗事。 21.A.hunger B.cold C.anger
D.illness
A 解析:整个故事都是讲作者进餐的情况, 下文的dining-room也是提示, 故选A。 22.A.stone C.breast
B.head D.stomach
D 解析:饿了的时候, 胃是空的。 stomach “胃”, 符合语境。 23.A.Therefore C.So
B.Otherwise D.However
D 解析:这家酒店的餐厅布置虽然难看, 然而饭菜还不错。however (然而;可是)多插在句子中间, 有时放在句首或句末, 由逗号隔开。本题空格后有逗号, 故选D。

24.A.received C.cared
B.fed D.eating
B 解析:feed sb.=give food to sb.此处指提供的饭菜较好, 而不单纯指吃这个动作。

【解题导语】 文章介绍了古城洛阳的名胜古迹及它的历史作用。
41.when 解析:考查连词。句意:但当我们谈到参观城市时,多数人都想参观世界上最古老的城市。when it comes to doing...意为“当提到……”。
42.attractive 解析:考查形容词。此处是one of句型,修饰名词cities且与oldest并列要用形容词最高级most attractive,故填attractive。
43.as 解析:考查介词。句意:洛阳作为一直有人居住的最古老的城市独树一帜。此处表示“作为”的意思故填as。
44.the 解析:考查冠词。此处特指中国文化和历史及中国七大古都之一的诞生地,表示特指用定冠词the,故填the。
45.is 解析:考查主谓一致。There be句型就近一致,和no other city一致,no other city是单数,be要用单数,故填is。
46.dynasties 解析:考查名词复数。此处由so many修饰名词要用复数,指“如此多的朝代”,故填dynasties。
47.to offer 解析:考查动词不定式。此处指洛阳真的给我们提供了许多。不定式在此作后置定语,故填to offer。
48.were included 解析:考查被动语态。which引导定语从句指代The Longmen Grottoes,此处指龙门石窟被列入在2000年的世界文化遗产名录中,用过去时的被动结构,故填were included。
49.constantly 解析:考查副词。此处修饰动词attract用副词表示“不断地吸引”,故填constantly。
50.established 解析:考查过去分词。句中主语the White Horse Temple和动词establish是被动关系,过去分词表被动,故填established。
