26、旅行可以变得容易、舒服，与上文形成转折关系，又引出了下文。故选E。2G根据本段标题和空格处前面内容可判断出，在意大利每个地方都有自己的特色食物，没有所谓的“意大利食物”，也就是说，要知道意大利所有地方的特色食物是不可能的；G项暗示，游客是不可能知道“意大利食物”是什么的，因为意大利的食物太多了，各个地方都有特色食物，承接上文，符合语境。故选G。3A空格处所填内容是本段的标题。根据本段内容可判断出，本段主要是建议在饭馆吃饭时要注意带些现金，因为当地人更喜欢收取现金，而不是刷银行卡。A项体现了现金的重要性，适合用作本段的小标题。故选A。 4F空格处前面提到，服务员将饭菜端上来后会离开，直到来收拾餐
27、具，这并不是他们无礼。F项意为“这是服务员让顾客随心所欲地享受饭菜”，对服务员的做法进行解释。故选F。5C空格前表示作者晚饭时间去餐馆发现没什么人；空格后提到，意大利许多城市的晚饭时间至少到八点才开始；C项承上启下，正合句意。.语法填空Hello，Im Helen.Im introducing you to one of the most famous 1._(theatre) in the world，2._ you can hear and see wonderful performances of opera and ballet.Its the Royal Opera House.Th

31、本文介绍了与英国皇家歌剧院相关的一些信息。1theatres考查名词复数。由该空前面的one of the most famous可知，此处填theatre的复数形式theatres。2where考查连接词。分析句子结构可知，填关系副词where引导非限制性定语从句，where在该定语从句中作地点状语。3is考查动词时态。根据该空后面的that we have had on this land at Covent Garden可知，这里用一般现在时。4building考查名词。由该空前的the可知填build的名词形式building，意为：建筑物。5impressive考查形容词。此处指“让
32、人印象深刻的，给人深刻印象的”，故填impress的形容词形式impressive。6to visit考查非谓语动词。此处填动词不定式作后置定语，修饰名词place。7to考查介词。be home to为固定短语，在此意为：是的所在地。8the考查冠词。from all over the world为固定短语，在此意为：来自世界各地的。9offered考查非谓语动词。该空前面的cheap tickets 是动词offer所表示动作逻辑上的宾语，故填offer的过去分词形式作后置定语。10them考查代词。动词buy后面跟宾语，故填they的宾格形式them，指代前面提到的cheap tickets.
