第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.
My father is famous in our family for saying “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.
I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he was 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.
I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.
1、Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule?
A．Start the car the moment everyone is seated.
B．Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.
C．Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.
D．Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.
2、The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to______..
A．abandoned B．avoided
C．lacked D．taken
3、The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ________.
A．join in the holiday celebration of the company
B．keep her appointment with the eye doctor
C．finish her work before the deadline approached
D．meet her father who was already an old man
4、What is the best title for the passage?
A．The Two Saddest Words B．The Most Useful Rule
C．The Peace of Mind D．The Emotional Well-being

B
Information on Travelling in Singapore
Money matters
The currency in Singapore is the Singapore dollar(S$). Money changing services can be found at many shopping centres and hotels around the island, and the ATMs(generally open 24/7) accept most of the main credit cards such as Visa, MasterCard and American Express.
Hotel Reservations and Accommodation
Upon arrival at the airport, please visit its 24-hour hotel reservations counters, which can help get you a room in your preferred hotel. Payment for the first night is required upon confirmation.
Lost Passport/Singapore Immigration Services
Should you lose your passport, we suggest you make a police report, then head to the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority to get a temporary visa. Finally, inform your respective embassy so that you can get through customs when you reach home.
Tipping

Tipping is not a common practice in Singapore as most hotels and restaurants include a 10% service charge in the final bill. While tipping is not expected, it is appreciated, be it in restaurants where there is no service charge, or anywhere where excellent service is provided.
Smoking
If you are a smoker, you will have to resist the urge to light up in air-conditioned areas such as shopping centres, restaurants, entertainment outlets and cinemas. Smoking is also an offence in public buses, the MRT trains, taxis and lifts. A maximum of S$1000 can be imposed on first-time offenders. A general rule of thumb is that if there is an ashtray supplied, go for it.
467、Which of the following words can be used to describe the money changing system in Singapore?
A．Difficult. B．Convenient.
C．Traditional. D．Original.
1、What is essential if you want to book a hotel room at the airport?
A．You must stay in Singapore for 24 hours.
B．You should go to your preferred hotel.
C．You are supposed to pay for the first night.
D．You must spend the first night at the airport.
2、How many steps are suggested that you should follow if you lose your passport in Singapore?
A．2. B．3.
C．4. D．5.
3、On which of the following occasions are you expected to tip?
A．When you think that the service is very good.
B．When you receive a gift from a friend.
C．When you leave a very good restaurant.
D．When you are faced with any difficulty.
4、Smoking is strictly forbidden in the following areas EXCEPT ______.
A．in an air-conditioned restaurant B．in a bus
