【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章指出外出旅行，租用车很很方便。有的租车行甚至配有司机，省去了驾车的疲劳。即使自己开车，也可以不用担心车况。

【1】考查名词。句意：的确，如果没有车，从一个地方到另一个地方对于你来说是不方便的。根据be + adj=be of +n(表示事物特征)这个原则可知，空格处应该填名词，convenient的名词形式是convenience。故填convenience。

【2】考查谓语动词。句意：如果你计划在大假期间出去旅行，那么考虑为你和家人租一辆车。分析句子结构可知，此处应该是谓语动词；根据句意，判断此处是祈使句，所以用动词原形。故填consider。

【3】考查可数名词的数。句意：这样做的明显好处如下。分析句子结构可知空格处句子主语，故用名词形式，benefit本身可作名词；根据are判断主语是复数形式。故填benefits。

【4】考查并列连词。句意：想象一下有司机把你载到目的地，还等着把你载回家。根据句意可知“taking you to your destination”和 “waiting to drive you home”是想象中司机的两个动作，它们是并列关系，故用and连接。故填and。

【5】考查时态和主谓一致。句意：这样一来，甚至泊车你都不需要操心了。分析句子结构可知，此处应该用谓语动词，主语parking是第三人称单数，时态为一般现在时。故填becomes。

【6】考查副词。句意：即使你不得不自己开车，你也可以从租车中受益，因为你可以愉快地选择最短路线去目的地。根据句意，所给词要修饰动词“take”，所以用副词形式。故填enjoyably。

【7】考查固定短语。句意：如果你匆忙地计划旅行，你或许忘了检查车况。根据固定短语in a hurry（匆忙地）可知此处应用不定冠词a。故填a。

【8】考查情态动词+have done结构。句意：如果你匆忙地计划旅行，你或许忘了检查车况。由If you have planned your holiday 可推测前面的动作已经发生，所以主句用might have done结构表达对过去情况的推测（语气很弱）。故填have missed。

【9】考查固定短语。句意：如果真是这样，那么租车是明智的，因为车根本不会在路上抛锚。根据短语on one’s way（在路上）可知，此处应填介词on。故填on。

【10】考查形容词比较级。句意：老实说，比起坐火车或公交车来，自己开车旅行要舒服的多。根据后文中的than判断是比较级，is后一般接形容词作表语，故用comfortable的比较形式，more comfortable。故填more comfortable。

固定搭配是语法填空的常考知识点，一般以冠词，介词搭配居多。冠词和介词属于虚词，很容易弄混淆或遗漏，这也增加了考试难度。例如本篇中的第7题in a hurry和第9题 on one’s way。因此平时一定要注意积累固定搭配。
