【解析】

文章大意：本文主要讲述当你在一个新的地方，很容易发现文化冲击。本文作者通过美国人说话方式来阐述他们嘲笑某人不是伤害而是表达亲密和幽默。

【1】句意：第一个惊喜是美国人说话的方式。

talk谈论；speak说；sing唱；teach教，根据第二段“One day I saw someone was having a public speech in a square.”可知，在广场有一个演讲，这里说的是美国人说话方式，故选B。

【2】句意：我认为这将是一个严肃的演讲。

lovely可爱的；funny有趣的、滑稽的；serious严肃的；polite礼貌的，由后句“But I soon found it became a kind of entertainment show. ”可知，作者后来发现它变成了一种娱乐方式，故知此处说的是严肃的演讲，故选C。

【3】句意：后来他说有些人的行为与他们说的话不符。

words话；lessons课程；listeners听众；speakers演讲者，根据后文“...It sounds like she is a hypocrite(伪君子). ”可知，行为与他说的话不相符，故选A。

【4】句意：他说既然斯威夫特不想再和那个男孩在一起了，她不需要大声说出来，她不需要唱歌，除非她仍然和那个男孩保持联系。

although尽管；when当……时；if如果；unless除非，根据后面“she still keeps in touch with that guy. It sounds like she is a hypocrite(伪君子). ”可知，她不需要唱歌除非他仍然和那个男孩保持联系，故选D。

【5】句意：然后他以滑稽的方式唱了这首歌。

serious严肃的；funny滑稽的；active积极的；soft软的，根据后句“The listeners laughed out loudly.”可知演讲者以滑稽的方式唱了这首歌，听者们才会笑得那么大声，故选B。

【6】句意：我有一点生气，因为斯威夫特是我最喜欢的明星。

happy高兴的；satisfied满意的；angry生气的；nervous紧张不安的，根据后面“because Swift is my favourite star.”可知，因为作者非常喜欢斯威夫特，演讲者拿她作例子，作者感到非常生气，故选C。

【7】句意：我不理解他们为什么嘲笑斯威夫特。

worried about担心；talked about谈论；laughed at嘲笑；cared for关心、照顾，根据前面“The listeners laughed out loudly. I felt a little___6___ because Swift is my favourite star.”可知，演讲者拿斯威夫特作例子而她恰恰是作者喜欢的明星，此时作者不理解为什么嘲笑斯威夫特，故选C。

【8】句意：但他们并不想伤害他们。

So因此；And并且；Or否则；But但是，根据后面“They do that to show closeness and humour.”可知他们这样做为了表达亲密和幽默，所以是表转折，故选D。

【9】句意：并且被嘲笑的人很少会生气。

seldom很少；always总是；easily容易地；often经常，根据前面“___8___they don't mean to hurt them. They do that to show closeness and humour.”可知他们不是为了伤害他们，他们只是表达亲密和幽默，因此被嘲笑的人很少生气，故选A。

【10】句意：现在我理解了在广场上的演讲者。

at the school在学校；in the square在广场；at the concert在音乐会上；in the park在公园，根据第二段第一行“One day I saw someone was having a public speech in a square.”可知演讲者在广场演讲，故选B。

做完型填空时，首先要通读课文，明白主旨大意，然后再做题。做完型时要记住“瞻前顾后想结果”这一原则，根据上下文以及语境做题，切忌主观臆断。另外，平时还要多多积累词汇。完型填空常考名词、动词、形容词和副词等辨析。做词义辨析题时，首先要确认四个选项的含义，然后分析语境和逻辑关系，确定答案。

例如题目6中，首先确定四个选项含义，happy高兴的；satisfied满意的；angry生气的；nervous紧张不安的，根据后面“because Swift is my favourite star.”可知，因为作者非常喜欢斯威夫特，演讲者拿她作例子，作者感到非常生气，故选C。
