解析试题分析：
【小题1】C。从后面的he always presses ___37___ food onto my plate…等来看，此处说的是吃饭时的礼节问题，故用dinner。
【小题2】C。当我在中国做客时，主人总是在我吃完碗里的饭时又强夹给我更多的食物。
【小题3】C。主人的这种做法让我觉得很尴尬。在这里应用系动词feel。taste(品尝)虽可作系动词，但不符合语境。
【小题4】B。根据西方人的观点，吃饭时应把盘子里的饭都吃完，否则就是不礼貌。因此，当在中国吃饭时，尽管不喜欢主人硬给盛饭的这种做法，但只好把主人硬给盛的这些饭都吃了。
【小题5】D。从语境来看，此处指“在西方把饭剩留在盘子里被认为是不礼貌的”。good manners 意为“有礼貌的”，bad manners 意为“没有礼貌的”。
【小题6】B。西方人认为，把盘子里的饭吃干净是礼貌的，而把饭留在盘子里则是不礼貌的。leave 在此意为“留下，剩余”。
【小题7】B。动词辨析。A介意B注意C听说D通知；“我”在一个美国人举行的宴会上所看到的一个中国人的做法。
【小题8】B。从上下文可知，此处说的是“我”在一个美国人举行的宴会上所看到的一个中国人的做法，即他经常拒绝别人让他吃的食物或饮料，尽管他很饿或很渴。
【小题9】C。前面说的是 food or drink，这里的 hungry 应与 thirsty 相对。
【小题10】C。前面提到的“在饭桌上拒绝别人”的做法，在中国是有礼貌的，但这在西方确实是不礼貌的，前后形成对比。此句补充完整为：…but it is certainly not good manners in the West.
【小题11】A。由上下文可知，在美国不停地一遍遍地问人家或把东西强加给他人是不礼貌的。
【小题12】A。从下文的“如果他们想要东西，他们就要；如果不想要，就说‘不，谢谢’”等可知，这里说的是美国人很“直接”。direct 意为“直接的”，indirect 意为“间接的”。
【小题13】C。从下文举的例子来看，当他们不想要某样东西时，美国人常直接说 No, thanks。
【小题14】B。从下句 and he doesn’t feel like beer, he will probably say… 来看，这里说的是“主人给美国人啤酒喝时……”。
【小题15】C。前面说“不，谢谢。我不喜欢它。如果有 Pepsi-Cola 的话，就给我来点它吧”。take 在这里是“喝”的意思。
【小题16】B。前面举例说明美国人的一些做法，即“这就是美国人的做法”。 what 在此引导表语从句。
【小题17】C。本文谈论的就是中国人与美国人在餐桌上的礼仪问题，故此处应选 Americans。
【小题18】B。根据上面的 Honesty is the best policy 可知，此处说的是“但是在一些国家谦虚也许是比诚实更重要的”。
【小题19】D。本文谈论的是习惯问题，故用 customs。habits 说的是个人习惯，不符合语境。
【小题20】B。由 but 可知此处说的是如果你到美国，就最好“入乡随俗”，亦即按美国的风俗做。
考点：考查文化类完型填空
点评：本文说的是中国与美国的风俗习惯问题。首先说的是“我”在中国的经历，对中国主人“劝饭”的做法不理解，有时觉得很尴尬；接着又通过在宴会上的例子说明在中国和美国哪些做法是礼貌的，并说要“入乡随俗”。

Having driven almost thirty hours, I decided to stay in South Carolina for a few days. The next morning, I purchased a three-day fishing license and bait (饵料) before heading to the lake.

Opening my trunk, I carefully took out my fishing gear (用具), put it on the lake’s edge, baited up and began to fish.

       “Good morning,” said someone, walking up from behind me.

       Turning around, I saw a game warden (猎场管理员) with a clip-board.

       “Good morning,” I said, nodding my head.

      “Catch any fish?” he asked.

       “No sir, just relaxing and killing time.”

       “Can I see your fishing license?”

       I handed him the license I had purchased at the bait shop.

       “Can I see your driver’s license, too?” he requested.

       “I see the name on the driver’s license is spelled Kiser and the name on the fishing license is Kaiser,” said the warden.

       “The gentleman at the bait shop must have written it wrong,” I told him.

       “Well, I’m afraid I’ll have to write you up for fishing with an invalid license and take away your fishing gear.”

       “You’ve got to be kidding,” I responded, with a surprised look on my face.

       Sure enough I was written up and my fishing gear taken away. I was told that I would have to pay a fine and that my stuff would be sold at auction（拍卖）.

       I stood there almost in tears as he drove away. Those rods and reels were very special to me. I had used them over twenty years, fishing with my friends, who were now all dead.

       After returning home in Georgia, I telephoned South Carolina trying to explain the situation, but no one would listen. I was told that the Department of Fish and Game had a “zero tolerance” for fishing and hunting violations. Finally, in tears I paid the fine and gave up the fight.

       Nine months later, I received a letter. I had no idea who it was from as there was no return address. On a plain piece of notebook paper was written “Auction for the Department of Fish and Game held this Saturday at 11:00 am.”

       On Saturday, at six in the morning I headed to South Carolina. By ten o’clock I had found the auction. There were numerous boats and piles upon piles of fishing equipment. All at once, there it was—my wonderful stuff all thrown in a pile as if it was worth nothing.

       As the auction began I took my seat. In my wallet was twenty-seven dollars. For more than an hour I waited for my property to be brought to the auction block.

       “We have three rods and reels here. I guess we will sell this as a unit,” said the auctioneer.

       “50 dollars,” yelled someone in the crowd.

       “51 dollars,” yelled another man.

       I rose from my seat and walked out of the auction.

       “66 dollars,” I heard as the bidding continued.

       “100 dollars,” came another bid. The auction became silent.

       “100 dollars once, 100 dollars twice, 100 dollars three times. Sold for 100 dollars,” went the auctioneer.

I walked to my truck, got in and just sat there. Suddenly I heard something hit the side of my truck. Turning around, I saw the back of a man putting my three rods and reels into my truck. It was the same game warden who wrote me the ticket almost a year ago!

       As I got out of the truck he stuck out his hand and said, “I wasn’t wrong. It’s the law that is wrong.”

       I shook his hand, thanked him and drove away. I cried as I crossed the South Carolina Georgia state line.

1. Who wrote a letter to the writer telling him about the auction?

A. The Department of Fish and Game.                   B. The game warden.

C. A person unmentioned in the passage.                 D. The auction organizers.  

2.Why did the writer walk out of the auction while it was going on?

   A. He realized he was unable to get back his fishing gear.

   B. He was too nervous to stay inside till the auction ended.

   C. He couldn’t bear hearing people selling his fishing gear.

   D. He knew the game warden was waiting for him outside.

3.What did the game warden mean by saying “It’s the law that is wrong”?

A. It didn’t make any sense to prohibit people from fishing freely in South Carolina.

B. The writer did break the law by fishing with an invalid license whatever the reason.

C. The writer should have been allowed a chance to explain and get his things back.

D. The auction should not have been held to sell the boats and fishing equipment.
