Nowadays, many Japanese trains have special women-only cars. It means that only women (3) (allow) to get in, so you have to pay attention to the signs (4) getting in the train. And there are usually special seats for elderly people. (5), even if you are not sitting in one of these seats, you may find (6) polite to stand up and give your seat to elder passengers.

1. the easiest 2. suggestions 3. are allowed 4. before 5. Besides 6. it 7. so 8. quietly 9. because 10. will be

1. 考查形容词最高级。"one of the+形容词最高级+名词复数"表示"最……之一"，easy的最高级是easiest，前面需加the，故填the easiest。
2. 考查名词复数。some后接可数名词复数，suggest的名词形式是suggestion，复数为suggestions，故填suggestions。
3. 考查被动语态。主语women与allow是被动关系，全文时态为一般现在时，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，结构为am/is/are+过去分词，主语是复数，故填are allowed。
4. 考查介词。根据语境，上车前要注意标志，before表示"在……之前"，故填before。
5. 考查副词。前文说有老人专座，后文讲即使不坐专座也要给老人让座，表递进关系，Besides"此外"符合语境，句首首字母大写，故填Besides。
6. 考查it作形式宾语。find it+形容词+to do sth.中it是形式宾语，真正宾语是to stand up...，故填it。
7. 考查连词。前文说高峰期火车拥挤，后文说不要把包放地上或邻座，表因果关系，so"所以"符合语境，故填so。
8. 考查副词。修饰动词sit用副词，quiet的副词是quietly，故填quietly。
9. 考查连词。他们不在电话上说话，因为不想打扰其他乘客，because表原因，故填because。
10. 考查时态。if引导的条件状语从句，遵循"主将从现"，主句用一般将来时，结构为will+动词原形，故填will be。

四、阅读短文,回答问题(答案不超过6个词)
Have you ever been to Singapore? For many Chinese tourists, this small island in South East Asia is a wonderful place to take a holiday. On one hand, more than seventy-five percent of population are of Chinese descent, so you can simply speak Mandarin most of the time. On the other hand, Singapore is an English-speaking country.
When the ancient Chinese paid their first visit here in the early 14th century, it was still a small seaside city. Later in the 1820s, the British Empire claimed it as a colony (殖民地). Singapore hasn't been an independent country until 1965. From then on, it has become an important port of trade and business between different countries.
One great thing about Singapore is that the temperature is almost the same all year round. It seldom drops below 20°C. It's warm and wet the whole year. This is because it is so close to the equator (赤道). So you can choose to go whenever you like—spring, summer, autumn or winter! And, of course, it's not too far from China. For those who enjoy the sun and the beach, Singapore is an ideal place.
On the northeast coast of Singapore, Changi Village is far from the noise of central Singapore. The buildings are modern, but there's still a village terminal (晚期的) atmosphere. There's a small, attractive seaside camp site across the Changi Creek from the bus terminal, where you can watch the planes gliding into Changi airport while relaxing on the sand.
Most large cities have zoos, but have you ever been to a zoo at night? Singapore has a night zoo called the "Night Safari". It might seem strange to go to a zoo when it's dark. But if you've ever been to a zoo during the daytime, you might understand why Night Safari is so special. A lot of animals only wake up when it goes dark at night, so this is the best time to watch them. At the Night Safari, you can watch these animals in more natural environment than a normal zoo.

2. When did Singapore become an independent country?
3. Why is the temperature almost the same all year round in Singapore?
