A
It’s true that every country has its customs.
We all know that in America if people are pleased with you, they will give you a sign “OK”. But maybe you don’t know this sign is considered to be rude in Brazil.
In Poland, guests usually choose flowers as presents for hostesses (女主人). Remember the number must be an odd (奇数) one. And the hostess doesn’t hope that you remove the cover of the bunch (束) of flowers. You must be more careful when you give red roses to a woman because the red rose means love.
In China we often hear people say that “nodding” means agreement (同意). And “shaking the head” means disagreement. But in Bulgaria they mean the opposite.
We really need to pay more attention to the differences in customs. What’s more, we should learn more about them in order to avoid embarrassment (尴尬). Do remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
21. In what countries is the sign “OK” different?
A. In America and China. B. In America and Brazil
C. In Brazil and Poland. D. In America and Buigaria.
22. A man wants to visit a friend in Poland. What could he buy for hostesses to be polite?

25. What is the main idea of this passage?

【答案】21. B 22. C 23. B 24. D 25. A
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了不同国家的礼仪和风俗差异,以及在国际交流中了解这些差异的重要性的意义。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据“in America if people are pleased with you, they will give you a sign ‘OK’. But may be you don’t know this sign is considered to be rude in Brazil.”可知,在美国和巴西,OK这个手势表达的含义不同。故选B。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据“In Poland, guests usually choose flowers as presents for hostesses (女主人). Remember the number must be an odd (奇数) one.”和“You must be more careful when you give red roses to a woman because the red rose means love.”可知,去一个波兰家庭做客,要给女主人带花作为礼物,数量为基数,且不能是红玫瑰;选项C “11朵黄花”符合要求。故选C。
【23题详解】

【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“We really need to pay more attention to the differences in customs. What’s more, we should learn more about them in order to avoid embarrassment (尴尬)” 可知,我们要注意习俗上的差异。更重要的是,我们应该多多了解它们,以避免尴尬;因此“When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”这句话表示 “当我们在外国时,我们必须遵守它的习俗”。故选D。
【25题详解】
