B
People in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is polite in one country may be quite impolite in another. In Britain, you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid food. But it’s different in China. And in Japan you even needn’t worry about making noises when you have it. It shows that you are enjoying it. But it is regarded as bad manners in Britain. If you are a visitor in Mongolia, what manners do they wish you to have? They wish you to give a loud “burp (打嗝)” after you finish eating. Burping shows that you like the food.
In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when you’ re having a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table during a meal. But in Arab countries you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn’t eat with your left hand. Arabs consider it very bad manners eating with left bands. So, what should you do if you are on a visit in another country? Well, just do in Rome as the Romans do. You can ask the native people to help you or just watch carefully and follow them.
41. According to the passage, making noises when you have liquid food isn’t bad manners in ________.
A. China B. Japan C. Britain D. Mongolia
42. ________ is bad manners in Britain.
A. Eating food without making noises B. Putting liquid food in the bowl
C. Having soup directly with a bowl D. Keeping hands off the table
43. From the passage, we can infer (推断) that ________.
A. Mongolian people burp when they are eating
B. Japanese people all make noises when drinking
C. Chinese people never make noises at table
D. few Arabs eat with left hands
44. “Do in Rome as the Romans do” means “________”.
A. Do as the native people do B. Do as you do at home
C. Ask the native people to do it D. Watch the native people doing it
45. The passage mainly (主要) tells us ________.
A. some table manners in Britain B. some different table manners
C. different ways of having liquid food D. to have good manners
【答案】41. B 42. C 43. D 44. A 45. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要通过列举不同国家(英国、中国、日本、蒙古、墨西哥、阿拉伯国家等)的餐桌礼仪差异,介绍跨文化礼仪知识。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“And in Japan you even needn’t worry about making noises when you have it. It shows that you are enjoying it. (而且在日本,当你吃流食时,你甚至无需担心发出声响。这表明你在享受食物。)”可知,明确说在日本吃流食发出声响不是不礼貌。故选B。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In Britain, you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid food. (在英国,当你吃流食时,一定不要把碗举到嘴边。)”可知,直接用碗喝汤,即把碗举到嘴边喝流食,符合英国礼仪禁忌。故选C。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“But in Arab countries you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn’t eat with your left hand. Arabs consider it very bad manners eating with left hands. (但在阿拉伯国家,你必须非常注意你的手。你不能用左手吃饭。阿拉伯人认为用左手吃饭是非常不礼貌的。)”可知,因为阿拉伯人认为用左手吃饭不礼貌,可推断他们很少用左手,符合逻辑。故选D。
【44题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Well, just do in Rome as the Romans do. You can ask the native people to help you or just watch carefully and follow them. (嗯,入乡随俗。你可以请当地人帮你,或者只是仔细观察并跟着他们做。)”可知,俗语本意是“在罗马就像罗马人一样做”,结合后文 跟着当地人做一些事情。故选A。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“People in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is polite in one country may be quite impolite in another. (不同国家的人有不同的做事方式。在一个国家有礼貌的行为,在另一个国家可能很不礼貌。)”可知,一些不同的餐桌礼仪,涵盖全文不同国家餐桌礼仪对比,符合主旨。故选B。

One day, a farmer was walking along a road with his son Thomas. The father said, “Look! There’s a horseshoe. Pick it up and put it in your bag.” Thomas said, “It isn’t worth the trouble.” His father said nothing but he picked it up himself. When they got to a nearby town, they had a rest.

After a while, his father dropped another cherry and once again, his son lost on time in picking it up and putting it in his mouth.
And so they went on. The old farmer dropped the cherries and the son picked them up. When Thomas had eaten up all the cherries, his father said to him, “My dear son, if you had bent (弯腰) down early to pick up that horseshoe, it would not have been necessary for you to bend so many times for the cherries.

Always remember the lesson that he who does not worry about the little things will find that he cannot do the great things.” (当托马斯吃完所有樱桃后,父亲对他说:“亲爱的儿子,如果你当初愿意弯腰捡起那个马蹄铁,现在就不必为了樱桃反复弯腰了。永远记住这个教训:不在意小事的人,终会发现他无法成就大事。”)”可知,父亲一粒一粒地丢下樱桃,是为了给儿子好好上一课。故选A。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“When Thomas had eaten up all the cherries, his father said to him, “My dear son, if you had bent (弯腰) down early to pick up that horseshoe, it would not have been necessary for you to bend so many times for the cherries. Always remember the lesson that he who does not worry about the little things will find that he cannot do the great things.” (当托马斯吃完所有樱桃后,父亲对他说:“亲爱的儿子,如果你当初愿意弯腰捡起那个马蹄铁,现在就不必为了樱桃反复弯腰了。永远记住这个教训:不在意小事的人,终会发现他无法成就大事。”)”可知,如果不在意小事,我们就做不成大事。故选D。

People in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is polite in one country may be quite impolite in another. In Britain, you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid food. But it’s different in China. And in Japan you even needn’t worry about making noises when you have it. It shows that you are enjoying it. But it is regarded as bad manners in Britain. If you are a visitor in Mongolia, what manners do they wish you to have? They wish you to give a loud “burp (打嗝)” after you finish eating. Burping shows that you like the food.
In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when you’ re having a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table during a meal. But in Arab countries you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn’t eat with your left hand. Arabs consider it very bad manners eating with left bands. So, what should you do if you are on a visit in another country? Well, just do in Rome as the Romans do. You can ask the native people to help you or just watch carefully and follow them.
