Answer 1

分析 本文主要讲述到美国家庭作客的注意事项：到达准时；带点礼物；穿着得体；适时离开等．

解答 61．rules 考查名词复数．根据句中these，后接的名词要用复数形式．
62．are invited 考查动词语态．you与invite之间是动宾关系，且在条件状语从句中，要用一般现在时的被动语态．
63．it 考查it用法．it是形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式短语to bring a small gift．
64．made 考查过去分词． item与make之间是动宾关系，用过去分词短语made in your native country作后置定语． 
65．importance 考查名词．"of+抽象名词"构成的短语相当于该抽象名词的同根形容词，即：of great importance=very important．
66．unless  考查连词．根据句意：除非你吞下你的食物．用连词unless引导条件状语从句．
67．closed 考查过去分词．此处是"with+名词+过去分词"复合结构，mouth与close之间是动宾关系，用过去分词作宾语补足语．  
68．for 考查词语用法．reach for意为"伸出…以触及"，是固定搭配． 
69．immediately 考查副词． leave是动词，用副词修饰，形容词immediate的副词是immediately．
70．a 考查冠词．note是可数名词，单数形式前加不定冠词a表示泛指．
