Question

We know good manners are important. Today I am going to tell you something about manners in different countries. I think you already know that people in different countries usually have different ways of doing things. ①Something that is rude in one country may be quite         in    

      . ②For example, in Britain you mustn’t raise your bowl to your mouth when you are having soup. That is considered bad manners in Britain. But in Japan you needn’t worry about making noise when you drink something. It shows that you are enjoying it. In Britain we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal. ③Guests are expected to keep their hands on the table during a meal in Mexico. In Arabic countries, we must be careful with our hands. You see, in Arabic countries you mustn’t eat with your left hand. This is considered to be very impolite. So, what should you do if you visit a foreign country? Well, you needn’t worry. You can ask the native people there to help you and you can just watch carefully and try to do what they do.

Answer 1

【答案】

1. polite/ normal/ common; another/ others

2. 例如，在英国你不能在喝汤时将碗举到嘴边。

3.What are guests expected to do in Mexico?

【解析】

试题分析：

1.根据题意，本句应该是将两个地方的习惯相比较，故本句的意思应该是“有点那在一个国家是粗鲁的可能在其他国家（或另一个国家）是有礼貌对的或普通的。”所以本题可以填 polite/ normal/ common; another/ others。

2.for example是“例如”；in Britain“在英国”，raise是“举起”。所以本题应翻译成“例如，在英国你不能在喝汤时将碗举到嘴边。”

3.划线部分是做的事情，故提问时应该用what；应该用疑问句语序，故用What are guests expected to do in Mexico?

考点：本题考查任务型阅读。

点评：完成本题需要先弄清文章的意思，再根据要求来完成题目。其中第3小题比较简单，而第1、2小题相对较难，特别是翻译句子，应注意句式的结构，翻译时应符合习惯表达。
