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。
答案解析在下一页
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。
