【解析】

短文大意：本文关注的是社会文化，讲述了一个英国女孩在中国学习期间所遭遇的（礼仪）文化困境。

【1】句意：在大多数文化中，当人们见面时，他们通常互相问候。

each other互相；one by one逐个地；one another互相。greet问候；根据句意可知，greet each other（互相问候）符合句意，故选A。

【2】句意：她对中国文化知之甚少。

little少的，表否定；lot许多的；much许多的，修饰不可数名词。根据下文的原因“because she first arrived因为她是第一次来”，可知对中国文化了解很少，故选A。

【3】句意：一天在上学的路上，她去银行取了一些钱。

magazine杂志；money钱；newspaper报纸。根据“she went to a bank她去银行”，可知是去取钱，故选B。

【4】句意：令她吃惊的是，银行职员问她是否吃过午饭。

how如何，问方式；if是否，表疑问；when什么时候，问时间。根据下文“So she quickly answered that she had already eaten所以她很快回答说她已经吃过了”，可知问她是否吃过午饭，故选B。

【5】句意：所以她很快回答说她已经吃过了。

hardly几乎不，表否定；nearly差不多；quickly快速地。answer回答，根据句意语境，可知AB两项不合句意，故选C。

【6】句意：在那之后，她继续去学校。

After在……之后；before在……之前；during在……期间。根据下文“she went on to the school她继续去了学校”，可知是在去银行以后，故选A。

【7】句意：现在她明白了，这不可能是邀请。

couldn't不能，指没有能力或推测；needn't无需，指没有必要；wouldn't能不能，用于客气的请求。根据“Now she understood”，结合上文两次被问及同一问题，可知她猜测不是邀请吃午餐，后面两项不合语境，故选A。

【8】句意：她不明白他们为什么问这个问题。

how怎样，表方式；whether是否，表疑问；why为什么，表原因。puzzle疑惑，根据后文“so she spent many hours try to find out why so many people kept asking this” 所以她花了很多时间试图找出为什么这么多人一直问这个问题，可知她想知道人们这样问的原因，故选C。

【9】句意：所以她花了很多时间试图找出为什么这么多人一直问这个问题。

cost价值，主语需是物；pay支付，宾语需是钱；spend花费（时间或金钱），主语需是人。本句主语she是人，根据宾语“many hours很多时间”，可知spend符合句意，故选C。

【10】句意：她当时很瘦，她想他们一定是担心她吃得不好。

fat胖的；thin瘦的；tall高的。根据下文“she thought they must be worrying that she was not eating well她想他们一定是担心她吃得不好”，可知她看上去很瘦，故选B。

完形填空。主要题型有（1）考查词义辨析：名词辨析，形容词副词辨析，冠词辨析，介词连词辨析等；（2）考查句子时态，语态，要根据语境，选择正确的时态和语态的选项；（3）考查从句（宾语从句，定语从句，主语从句等）；（4）根据固定句型或短语结合语境选择正确的选项。

本文讲述了一个英国女孩在中国学习期间所遭遇的文化困境,主要考查单词或短语辨析，做此类型题时，要知道每一个词的意义，然后结合上下文背景语境，选择适合语境的选项。例如小题3，三个选项都是形容词：magazine杂志；money钱；newspaper报纸。根据“she went to a bank她去银行”可知，to get some money（去取钱）符合句意，故选B。
