time, pack up as much as you can the night before so that lastminute rush isn't too annoying. Also, be sure to take out anything in the room safe.
Don't forget to tip the housekeepers
It's always polite to leave some money for the people keeping your room clean.

(2020届山东省济南市高三模拟)
About one hundred years ago, many educated people learned and spoke French when they met people from other countries. Today most people speak English when they meet foreigners. 1 There are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak English as a first language. Why is this?
2 One of them is that English has become the language of business. Another important reason is that popular American culture (like movies, music and McDonald's) has quickly spread throughout the world. 3
Is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? 4 It's important to have a language that the people of the earth have in common. Our world has become very global and we need to communicate with one another. On the other hand, English is a fairly complicated language to learn and it brings its culture with it. Do we really need that?
Scientists have already tried to create an artificial language that isn't too difficult and doesn't include any one group's culture. It is called Esperanto. 5 Maybe the popularity of English won't last that long either. Who knows? There are more people in the world who speak Chinese than any other language. Maybe someday Chinese will be the new international language.
A.People like English.
B.But it hasn't become popular.
C.It has brought its language with it.
D.There is no doubt about the question.
E.This is why English was widely spoken.
F.It has become the new international language.
G.There are many reasons why English has become so popular.

2.解析:选G 根据后文“One of them is...”以及“Another important reason is...”可知,本段主要分析英语成为国际性语言的原因,且本空应是本段的主旨句。分析选项可知,G项符合语境。
3.解析:选C 根据空处的前一句可知,英语成为国际性的语言,其中的另一个重要原因是美国文化在全世界迅速传播。而美国文化的传播也伴随着英语的传播。C项中it指代“popular American culture”,故选C。
4.解析:选D 根据空前的问句“英语如此迅速地传播到世界的各个角落,这样好吗?”以及空后的“It's important to have a language that the people of the earth have in common. (世界人民使用同一种语言,这很重要)”可知,作者认为英语的传播很有必要,故D选项“这个问题毋庸置疑”承上启下,D项符合语境。
