【2】E

【3】C

【4】D

【5】B

【解析】

主旨大意：没有规矩不成方圆。本文介绍了英国严格的家规。

【1】“When I traveled in England, I got to know a little bit about this”的意思是作者在英国旅行的时候了解了一些英国父母教育孩子的方式。这即可以承接文章开头的提问，又可以引出下文具体的描述。故选A。

【2】E选项的“After getting her mother’s permission, she came to my house. She greeted my family members one by one and asked if she could sit down”的意思是在她的妈妈许可之后，她才来我家。问过是否能落座以后才坐下，还跟主人的家庭成员一一打招呼。这与第二段的开头“no matter how wild children are outside their home, their parents always tell them to be very polite in other people’s homes（英国父母要求孩子们不管在外面如何无法无天，但到别人的家里要礼貌）”相照应。故选E。

【3】C选项的“in addition”可以表文段内容的递进，使文章层次鲜明。故选C

【4】D选项的he和her与上文的人物相照应，且由“Sadly, Thalia was not allowed to go out to play for one week because of this”可知，悲哀的是，Thalia被禁足一周，正是“he was angry”的结果。故选D。

【5】最后一段作为小结段落，B选项的“家庭教育在英国家庭里的重要性”与下文的“没有规矩不成方圆”相照应。故选B。
