15."We didn't stay at‘bed and breakfast'houses,"they said,"because we found that most families were away on holiday."
I thought this was strange.Finally I understood what had happened.My friends spoke little English,and they thought"VACANCIES"meant"holidays",because the Spanish word for"holidays"is"vacaciones".So they did not go to the house where the sign outside said"VACANCIES",which in English means there are free rooms.Then my friends went to the house where the sign said"NO VACANCIES",because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday.But they found that these houses were all full.As a result,they stayed at hotels!
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs.In Spanish,the word"DIVERSION"means fun.In English,it means that workmen are repairing the road,and that you must take a different road.When my friends saw the word"DIVERSION"on a road sign,they thought they were going to have fun.Instead,the road ended in a large hole.
English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages.Once in Paris,when someone offered me some more coffee,I said"Thank you"in French.I meant that I would like some more.However,to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away!Later I found out that"Thank you"in French means"No,thank you."

分析 文章大意:
我朋友住在西班牙,在去英国之前问我一些关于如何找到住宿地方的意见,我建议他们呆在"床和早餐"的房子里,因为这种住宿给了外国游客一个很好的机会和家人说英语.可事实上朋友却住在普通的旅馆,因为发生了一些事情.
在"床和早餐"的房子里,我的朋友们把"有空缺"理解成了"放假",所以没有进去.
在巴黎,谢谢是不用了的意思.当时我在巴黎说了声谢谢想要在要一杯咖啡,结果他们就把咖啡收走了.
解答 81.B,推理判断题,文中提到"Before they left,they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所)"我朋友住在西班牙,在去英国之前问我一些关于如何找到住宿地方的意见,由此可知选择B,在英国寻找住宿的地方.
82.C,推理判断题,文中提到"I suggested that they should stay at"bed and breakfast"houses,because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family"我建议他们呆在"床和早餐"的房子里,因为这种住宿给了外国游客一个很好的机会和家人说英语,由此判断选择C.
83.D,推理判断题,文中提到"they thought"VACANCIES"meant"holidays","我的朋友们把"有空缺"理解成了"放假",所以没有进去,由此确定答案为D.
84.C,推理判断题,文中提到""VACANCIES",which in English means there are free rooms."VACANCIES在英语中译为有空出来的房间,反之NO VACANCIES就意味着没有空缺,AB正确;文中提到"In Spanish,the word"DIVERSION"means fun"在西班牙,DIVERSION译为乐趣,而在英国,意味着必须选择另外一条路,所以C错误,D正确;由此确定选择C.
85.A,推理判断题,文中提到"Later I found out that"Thank you"in French means"No,thank you."在巴黎,谢谢是不用了的意思,所以选择A.

Traveling around Paris by taxi can cost a lot of money,but it's usually convenient to take the underground train to most places.In general,though France is quite an expensive place.One thing that is not expensive in France,however,is the wine!
