题目内容
10.When you are in a foreign country,it's common for you to make mistakes when you don't know the local etiquette (礼仪).The number matters
In some cultures,giving the wrong amount of an item can be worse than no present at all.Do not give even numbers of flowers as a gift in Russia because that's for dead people.Odd numbers of flowers are given for happy occasions,like one,three,five or seven flowers.
Just go with it
When it comes to humor,people in some countries warned visitors not to take it too seriously.Mexico is such a place where people like to laugh at others.The best family dinners are the ones where everyone is laughing out loud at making fun of someone at the table.They don't mean to harm.They just do it for fun.So visitors should feel accepted notoffended.
Keep it down
In some countries,you should be careful about your volume.In France,a loud tone of voice,particularly in a one-to-one conversation,can be rude.French use different volumes for different situations.In a café,you can't overhear a discussion at the nearest table,even if it is only two or three feet away.So when you are in France,try to keep your voice down in most public places.
Hands off
In some Southeast Asian countries,such as Thailand and Malaysia,never touch anyone's head or pass anything from above the head.Head is considered to be the most sacred body part.Such touch is not good even in informal situations.
21.According to the text,which of the following things you should not do in Thailand?C
A.Giving even numbers of flowers
B.Laughing out loud at making fun of someone at the table
C.Passing anything from above the head
D.Talking in a very loud voice
22.The word"offended"underlined in the second part probably meansB.
A.welcomed
B.displeased
C.abused
D.insulted
23.Which conclusion can we draw from the text?A
A.When in Rome,do as the Romans do.
B.East or west,home is the best.
C.No cross,no crown.
D.A constant guest is never welcome.
分析 本文主要通过介绍当人们去国外或在国外时,如果不了解那里的礼节,就很容易犯一些交往错误.
解答 21.C.根据文中最后一部分中的信息"In some Southeast Asian countries,such as Thailand and Malaysia,never touch anyone's head or pass anything from above the head."可知答案应为C项.
22.B.此处根据上下文表述的意思应该是"他们本无伤害.他们这样做只是为了好玩.因此拜访者应该感觉到被接纳而不是不受欢迎."故正确答案应为B项.
23.A.本文主要通过介绍当人们去国外或在国外时,如果不了解那里的礼节,就很容易犯一些交往错误.所以,我们从整篇文章得出的结论应该是要做到"入乡随俗".故正确答案为A项.B项意为"在家千日好,出门一日难";C项意为"不经历风雨,怎么见得彩虹";D项意为"久住非佳宾,常来不欢迎",均与文章内容不符.
点评 在阅读时要抓住文章的主题和细节,分析文章结构,根据上下文内在联系,挖掘文章的深层含义,对于暗含在文章中的人物的行为动机,事件中的因果关系及作者未言明的倾向、意图、态度、观点等要进行合乎逻辑的判断、推理、分析,进一步增强理解能力,抓住材料实质性的东西.
