【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查近似短语的用法。a lot是副词，常常修饰动词，且放在该动词后面；a lot of和lots of是形容词，只能修饰名词。本题中被修饰词travels是动词，所以要用a lot。故A项正确。 [知识拓展] a lot of与lots of既可以修饰可数名词又可以修饰不可数名词，例：There are lots of/a lot of people in the hall.大厅里有很多人。 There is lots of/a lot of money in the case. 箱子里有很多钱。
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查连词的使用。so表示结果，有“因此”之意；because表示原因，有“因为”之意；but表示转折，有“但是”之意。本题中的两个分句为转折关系，故C项正确。 [知识拓展] though也表示转折，有“虽然，尽管”之意。例：Though it is hard work, I enjoy it. 虽然这是个苦差使，但我乐意干。
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查形容词的用法。much用来修饰不可数名词，many用来修饰可数名词。本题中的museum为可数名词，故B项正确。 [知识拓展] many与much也可以做代词，但many只能代替可数名词，例：Many of my classmates like this story. 我们班很多同学喜欢这个故事。much只能代替不可数名词，例：He spends much of his money on books.他把大部分钱用来买书了。
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查对上下文的理解。从该题所在段落可以看出，卡罗今年的假期将会与去年的假期有很大区别。different有“不同的”之意；similar有“相似的”之意；same有“相同的”之意。故A项正确。 [知识拓展] in a…way有“以…方式/方法”之意，例：These vegetables can be cooked in several different ways. 这些蔬菜可以用几种不同的方法烹调。
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查近义词辨析及句型结构。三个词虽然都有“和，一起”之意，但and是连词，with是介词，而together是副词，用来修饰动词。它们在表达“A与B一起做某事”的句型分别为：A and B do sth.(together). A do/does sth. with B. 故B项正确。 [知识拓展] 表示“与…一起”之意时，也可以用together with，例：She is going to travel to one country together with a friend。
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查细节推理。因为今年的这种安排就是为了让自己不要像去年那样度假之后又累又乏，所以after(在…之后)符合题意。before有“在…之前”之意，until有“直到…才”之意。故A项正确。 [知识拓展] not…until为固定结构，有“直到…才…”之意。例：He didn't watch TV until he finished his homework. 他写完作业才看电视。
