Our new exchange students will arrive very soon, and here are some ways to welcome them.
How close do you stand when you talk to a friend? You 1 stand close to people in the Middle East but don’t stand too close to North Americans! Give them more personal 2 .
How about 3 people? Chinese girls often walk arm in arm 4 their friends.
South Americans sometimes hold your arm when they talk to you, so you can’t 5 away! But in Britain many people don’t like other people to touch them at all.
Do you look at people 6 you talk? In some places, it isn’t polite to look at people when you talk, but in other 7 it isn’t polite to look somewhere else. In Britain and the US, people 8 look at each other when they talk.
And how do you say 9 ? That’s easy. Wave to say goodbye. But be careful! In Greece, it’s not at all polite! 10 , it’s very rude!

【导语】本文主要介绍了不同国家和地区在人际交往中的文化差异,旨在帮助读者了解并尊重不同的文化习俗。
1.句意:在中东地区,你可以站得离别人近一些,但不要站得离北美人太近!
本文通篇在介绍不同文化的习俗差异,是一种客观描述,告诉读者“在某个文化中,人们可以/通常会怎么做”,而不是强制的“必须”,因此用can表示“可以”更符合介绍文化习惯的语气。
2.句意:给他们更多的个人空间。
前文提到“不要站得太近”,所以此处应指“个人空间”,应用space“空间”。
3.句意:与人接触方面呢?
前文讲的是站立的距离,后文讲的是“中国女孩常常和朋友们挽臂而行”,可见这里谈论的是身体接触方面的习俗,应用touching“接触”。
4.句意:中国女孩常常和朋友们挽臂而行。
walk arm in arm常与介词with搭配,表示“与某人挽臂同行”。
5.句意:南美洲人有时和你说话时会抓着你的手臂,这样你就无法走开了。
抓住手臂是为了让你无法离开,move away表示“走开、离开”,符合语境。run away意为“跑开、逃走”,是快速、慌张、害怕地跑掉,用在这里太夸张、不符合语境。
6.句意:你说话的时候会看着对方吗?
此处描述“在说话的过程中”是否看对方,应用while“当……的时候”引导时间状语从句。
7.句意:在一些地方,说话时看人是不礼貌的,但在其他国家,看别处是不礼貌的。
前文提到“in some places”,此处与之对应,应用“in other countries”表示“在其他国家”。
8.句意:在英国和美国,人们说话时通常会看着对方。
描述英美的普遍习惯,应用usually表示“通常”。
9.句意:那你怎么道别呢?
后文提到“Wave to say goodbye.”,可见此处谈论的是“告别”的表达方式,goodbye“再见”符合语境。
10.句意:事实上,这非常粗鲁!
前文说在希腊挥手告别一点也不礼貌,此处进一步强调“事实上,是非常粗鲁的”,应用In fact“事实上”表示递进和强调。
阅读下面短文,掌握大意,然后从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Table manners are also different. In China, it’s polite to 5 food for elders, but in some Western countries, people usually help 6 . When we talk with foreigners, we should 7 using impolite words. We should 8 their feelings and respect their traditions.

【导语】本文介绍了不同国家的文化与礼仪习俗,强调入乡随俗的重要性,倡导尊重当地文化、友好待人,从而更好地在异国生活、结交朋友。
1.句意:当我们去一个新的国家时,会遇到不同的文化和习俗。遵循当地的礼仪很重要,这样我们才能和他人和睦相处。
根据后文“get on well with others”,要和他人好好相处,需要遵守当地的礼仪。follow意为“遵循、遵守”,符合语境;break(违反)、make(制作)、refuse(拒绝)均不符合逻辑。
2.句意:在日本,人们进屋时通常会脱掉鞋子。
根据日本的传统习俗,进入房屋需要脱鞋,固定搭配take off 表示“脱掉(鞋、衣物等)”,符合语境;take on(承担、呈现)、take up(占据、开始从事)、take down(记下、取下)均不符合。
3.句意:在泰国,用手指指着别人是不礼貌的。
根据后文“with your finger”,结合泰国的礼仪文化,用手指指向他人是粗鲁的行为,固定搭配point at表示“指着”,符合语境;smile(微笑)、look(看)、shout(喊叫)均不符合“用手指”的动作与礼仪要求。
4.句意:在西方国家,人们经常直呼对方的名字,但我们应该对老人友好。
根据日常礼仪,对待老人应保持友好,固定搭配be friendly to sb.表示“对某人友好”,符合语境;strict(严格的)、bored(无聊的)、angry(生气的)均不符合对老人的态度。
5.句意:餐桌礼仪也各不相同。在中国,给长辈递食物是礼貌的,但在一些西方国家,人们通常自助。
根据中国的餐桌礼仪,给长辈传递食物是礼貌的行为,pass意为“传递”,符合语境;pick(采摘、挑选)、cook(烹饪)、choose(选择)均不符合餐桌礼仪场景。
6.句意:在中国,给长辈递食物是礼貌的,但在一些西方国家,人们通常自助。
前文描述中国给长辈递食物的礼仪,转折后说明西方国家的习惯,固定搭配help oneself表示“自用、自助”,主语 people为复数,对应反身代词themselves(他们自己),符合语境;ourselves(我们自己)、himself(他自己)、herself(她自己)人称不匹配。
7.句意:当我们和外国人交谈时,我们应该避免使用不礼貌的话语。
根据跨文化交流的礼仪,应避免说不礼貌的话,avoid意为“避免”,固定搭配avoid doing sth.表示“避免做某事”,符合语境;enjoy(享受)、finish(完成)、practice(练习)均不符合。
8.句意:我们应该关心他们的感受,尊重他们的传统。
根据后文 “respect their traditions”,并列的行为应是关心对方的感受,care about意为 “关心、在意”,符合语境;talk about(谈论)、know about(了解)、think about(思考)均不如care about贴合“尊重”的逻辑。
9.句意:了解文化能帮助我们更好地交流,交到更多朋友。
了解不同国家的文化,核心作用是帮助我们更好地与他人沟通交流,从而结交朋友,communicate意为“交流”,符合语境;compete(竞争)、speak(说,后接语言)、travel(旅行)均不符合“交朋友”的逻辑。
10.句意:记住:入乡随俗。这会帮助我们在国外舒适地生活。

I also learned that in Britain, people often talk about the 3 to start a friendly conversation.
Cultural differences sometimes make people 4 , but they also make the world colourful. The most important rule is to 5 other cultures and not to laugh at their special customs.
When we are in a foreign country, we should do 6 the local people do. This helps us 7 mistakes and makes our stay more enjoyable. We can also 8 our own culture to others and build understanding.

【导语】本文围绕文化差异展开,讲述了世界文化不同但同样精彩,通过作者与英国学生的交流举例说明不同文化中的习惯差异,强调我们应尊重不同文化、跟随当地人做法以避免错误,同时主动介绍自身文化,了解不同文化能开阔眼界、让世界更温暖。
1.句意:当我们旅行或与外国人交流时,我们可能会遇到许多不同的习惯和规则。
前文提到 “世界上的文化不同但同样精彩”,结合语境,遇到的习惯和规则应是 “不同的”,different(不同的)符合;same(相同的)与前文语义矛盾,easy(容易的)、strange(奇怪的)不符合此处 “文化差异” 的核心语境。
2.句意:起初,我很担心一些餐桌礼仪的细节。
后文举例说明英国人使用刀叉有固定方式、吃饭几乎不发出声音,可推测 “我” 对这些不熟悉的礼仪会感到担心,worried(担心的)符合;excited(兴奋的)、bored(无聊的)、surprised(惊讶的)均无法体现面对陌生礼仪时的心态。
3.句意:我还了解到,在英国,人们经常谈论天气来开启一段友好的对话。
结合常识,英国人习惯以谈论天气作为聊天开场白,weather(天气)符合;food(食物)、family(家庭)、age(年龄)均不是英国人开启友好对话的常用话题。
4.句意:文化差异有时会让人感到不舒服,但它们也让世界变得丰富多彩。
前文讲文化不同,可推测差异有时会让人不适应、不舒服,uncomfortable(不舒服的)符合;happy(开心的)、interested(感兴趣的)、relaxed(放松的)与 “差异带来的负面感受” 不符。
5.句意:最重要的规则是尊重其他文化,不要嘲笑他们特殊的习俗。
结合后文 “不要嘲笑他们的特殊习俗”,可知此处应是 “尊重” 其他文化,respect(尊重)符合;refuse(拒绝)、change(改变)、forget(忘记)均与语境相悖。
6.句意:当我们在外国时,我们应该像当地人那样做。
此处是固定搭配 “do as sb. do”,表示 “像某人那样做”,as(像…… 一样)符合;like(像)是介词,不能接从句,for(为了)、with(和…… 一起)逻辑不通。
7.句意:这帮助我们避免错误,让我们的停留更愉快。
前文说 “像当地人那样做”,目的是避免因文化差异犯错,avoid(避免)符合;make(制造)、have(有)、take(拿)均与 “避免错误” 的语境不符。
8.句意:我们也可以向其他人介绍我们自己的文化,建立理解。
结合 “建立理解”,可知此处是把自己的文化介绍给别人,introduce(介绍)符合;sell(卖)、throw(扔)、lend(借)均与 “文化交流” 无关。
9.句意:了解不同的文化开阔我们的眼界,让我们更开明。
固定搭配 “open one’s eyes” 表示 “开阔眼界”,主语 Learning about cultures 是动名词短语,谓语动词用第三人称单数 opens(开阔);closes(关闭)、keeps(保持)、turns(转动)均不符合搭配和语境。
10.句意:如果每个人都努力相互理解,世界将会变成一个更温暖的地方。
结合 “相互理解”,世界会变得更温暖、更和谐,warmer(更温暖的)符合;smaller(更小的)、quieter(更安静的)、higher(更高的)均与 “相互理解带来的美好结果” 不符。

6.句意:例如,当你被邀请去别人家做客时,带一份小礼物如鲜花或巧克力是礼貌的。
根据英国习俗,带礼物是polite(礼貌的)行为。rude“粗鲁的”、strange“奇怪的”、funny“有趣的”均不符合语境。
7.句意:他们对中国文化很好奇。
外国人对中国最感兴趣的通常是culture(文化)。history“历史”、geography“地理”、technology“技术”均不如culture全面贴切。

外国人第一次听说吃饺子通常会感到surprised(惊讶的)。sad“伤心的”、angry“生气的”、worried“担心的”均不符合语境。

适应后心情放松,用comfortable(舒适的/自在的)。nervous“紧张的”、shy“害羞的”、lonely“孤独的”均不符合后来的状态。

1.句意:因为不同的国家有不同的传统,一些小小的行为在别的国家可能是粗鲁不礼貌的。
前文说各国习俗不同,所以同样行为在这里合适,在别国就是失礼、粗鲁的,因此用rude“粗鲁的”。
2.句意:在一些亚洲国家,人们通常鞠躬互相问好。
亚洲见面礼仪是鞠躬,如日本,因此用bow“鞠躬”。
3.句意:在法国、意大利见面贴面亲吻是很常见的。
前文说西方握手很普遍,这里对应亲吻也很普遍,因此用common“常见的”。
4.句意:在中国,我们用筷子吃饭。
常识,中国餐具是筷子,因此用“chopsticks筷子”
5.句意:你不允许大声说话。
前文说西方吃饭安静,所以禁止大声说话,loudly“大声地”符合语境。
6.句意:跨文化差异如此有趣以至于很多人想更多了解。
固定句型so + 形容词+that…“如此……以至于……”
7.句意:这对你和当地人相处大有帮助、大有裨益。
根据语义可知是对帮助我们有好处的,go a long way“大有帮助”符合语境。
8.句意:记住,不礼貌的行为会让你尴尬。
不好的方面才会让人尴尬,impolite“不礼貌的” 语境。
9.句意:当你了解文化差异时,你会真正享受旅程并交到更多朋友。
根据上文可知,我们需要先了解他国文化,才能更好地体验旅程,know about“了解”符合语境。
10.句意:你将会真正地享受旅途、交到更多朋友。
了解了当地文化,我们能更好的享受旅行,此处应为一个正向的词,truly“真正地”积极句意。
I have just arrived in this country for a year of schooling. One day, I took the underground to visit some ancient palaces. But what happened to me next has taught me a lot about cultural 1 .
Since all the 2 were taken, I stood. But in one quick move, I felt my bag being removed from my back, and suddenly it was 3 . I turned around to see who the thief was.
I looked around the car only to find that directly across from me was an elderly lady, and sitting on her lap was my bag. I tried to get it back from her lap. But as I began to 4 it back, she quickly grabbed it back and held onto it. I looked around at the people standing beside me, and those sitting beside her but no one took any 5 of the situation. I used my hands as much as I could, but it didn’t work. She picked up my bag, showing how 6 it was. I finally began to understand. She was holding my bag to 7 me.
At the next stop, a middle-aged woman got on the busy underground. Another seated elderly woman took her bag, placing it on her lap. They didn’t speak, but the elder woman happily held the stranger’s bag 8 her journey.
As I prepared to get off, the woman returned my bag. But 9 I could thank her, she had disappeared into the crowd.
This custom amazed me more than being robbed. Everyone knew robbery—that was 10 city behaviour but a stranger’s kindness in a huge city was truly special.

【导语】本文讲述了作者在国外乘坐地铁时,一位老妇人主动将作者的包放在自己腿上以防被偷,从而让作者感受到文化差异和陌生人善意的故事。
1.句意:但接下来发生在我身上的事情让我对文化差异有了很多认识。
文章讲述的是作者在国外经历的不同于自己文化的现象,即老妇人帮助看包的行为。differences意为“差异”,cultural differences指“文化差异”,符合全文主旨。
2.句意:因为所有的座位都被人占了,我就站着了。
地铁里没有空位,所以作者站着,说明“座位”被占了。seats意为“座位”,符合语境。
3.句意:但一瞬间,我感觉背包从我背上被拿走,突然它不见了。
作者感觉包被拿走,所以“不见了”。gone意为“消失的,不见的”,符合语境。
4.句意:但当我开始把它拉上来时,她迅速抢回去并紧紧抓住。
作者要从老人腿上拿回自己的包,pull back表示“拉回、拽回”,对应从老人腿上拿回背包的动作,符合动作描写。
5.句意:我看向我身边和她旁边的人,但没人注意到这个情况。
作者环顾四周,看着站在旁边的人和坐在旁边的人,由此说明作者是想看看周围是否有人注意到老妇人“抢包”这一情况;take notice of注意到,固定短语。
6.句意:她拿起我的包,展示它有多重。
老妇人用行动表明包很“重”,所以需要放在腿上。heavy意为“重的”,符合语境。
7.句意:她拿着我的包是为了帮助我。
老妇人并非偷包,而是通过这种方式“帮助”作者。help意为“帮助”,符合全文主旨。
8.句意:她们没有说话,但这位老人在旅途中一直愉快地拿着那个陌生人的包。
此处强调“贯穿全程、在整个旅程中”,使用through。across“横穿”、at“在某点”、in“在……里面”,均不能强调“在整个旅程中”的含义。
9.句意:但在我能感谢她之前,她已经消失在人群中了。
在作者道谢之前,老妇人就已经消失在人群中了。before表示“在……之前”,符合来不及道谢的语境。
10.句意:每个人都知道抢劫——那是大城市的常见行为,但大城市里陌生人的善意才真正特别。
前文提到“Everyone knew robbery”,所以被抢劫是常见的事。usual意为“通常的,常见的”,与后文“truly special”形成对比。
在题干开头补充作答要求,如“阅读短文,从每小题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳答案填空。

【导语】文章介绍了与中国家庭共进晚餐时使用圆桌和共享菜肴的用餐方式,强调了这种传统在中国文化中的重要性,以及它如何促进人与人之间的亲密关系和团结。
1.句意:这种用餐方式在中国非常受欢迎,因为它体现了分享和团体的重要价值。
highly popular是固定搭配,意为“非常受欢迎”,用来形容中式合餐文化在中国的普及度;greatly/much/slightly均不与popular形成常用搭配。
2.句意:这种用餐方式在中国非常受欢迎,因为它体现了分享和团体的重要价值。
合餐制体现了分享与社群的重要价值,important符合语境。special“特殊的”、different“不同的”、same“相同的”均不如important 贴合“价值”的描述。
3.句意:在中国文化中,人们相信共同享用共享菜肴有助于发展更亲密的关系。
这句话阐述了中国文化中的一个信念,即通过共享食物可以加深人与人之间的情感联系。believe表示“相信”,符合文化或普遍接受的观念。suppose“假设”、think“单纯认为”、know“知道”语气均不如believe正式、贴合文化语境。
4.句意:在中国文化中,人们相信共同享用共享菜肴有助于发展更亲密的关系。
develop relationships是固定搭配,意为“发展、建立关系”,指合餐有助于培养更亲密的人际关系。solve“解决”、make“制作”、create“创造”均不与 relationships形成该搭配。
5.句意:在分享食物时,使用公筷或公勺从中央盘子中取食物是恰当的。
proper强调符合餐桌礼仪规范。good“好的”、polite“礼貌的”、nice“友好的”均不如proper精准体现“符合礼仪规范”的含义。
6.句意:在分享食物时,使用公筷或公勺从中央盘子中取食物是恰当的。
pick up food意为“夹取食物”,符合用公筷从大盘里夹菜的动作场景。take up“开始从事”、look up“查阅”、put up“张贴”均与语境无关。
7.句意:有时,家庭成员会互相传递菜肴,特别是给长辈,以表达他们的尊重和关心。
家人会互相递菜,尤其是给长辈(elders),以表达尊重和关心,这是中式餐桌的传统礼仪。parents“父母”范围过窄,adults“成年人”、teenagers“青少年”不符合“表达尊重”的对象。
8.句意:这个传统如此有意义,以至于它让家人和朋友的关系更加亲密。
bring families and friends closer意为“让家人和朋友的关系更亲密”,是合餐制的意义所在。nearer“距离更近”、tighter“更紧”、warmer“更温暖”均不如closer贴合“人际关系”的语境。
9.句意:除非你亲自体验这种分享传统,否则你无法真正理解中国的饮食文化。
unless引导条件状语从句,相当于if...not。so/if/because均不符合逻辑。
10.句意:圆桌不仅仅是用来吃饭的——它是一个人们交流、交谈、加强联系,同时一起享受美食的地方。
这是一个定语从句,先行词是a place,关系副词where在从句中作地点状语,修饰“人们交流、增进感情的地方”。how/when/why均不能引导地点定语从句。

【导语】本文主要介绍了肢体语言在沟通中的重要作用,重点对比了不同文化背景下相同肢体动作所代表的不同含义,并建议旅行者在前往外国前应提前了解当地习俗。
1.句意:肢体语言是交流的重要组成部分。
根据文中“…our feelings and meanings even better than words.”可知,肢体语言和言语一样具备交流信息的功能。communication意为“沟通,交流”。
2.句意:有时,它甚至能比文字更好地表达我们的感受和意思。
根据空后“…our feelings and meanings…”可知,此处指肢体语言具备传达情感的功能。express意为“表达”。
3.句意:然而,同样的手势在不同的文化中可能有完全不同的含义。
根据后文列举的具体例子“…nodding your head usually means ‘yes’…”可知,点头属于肢体动作。gesture意为“姿势,手势”。
4.句意:然而,同样的手势在不同的文化中可能有完全不同的含义。
根据下文对比“…in the West…”与“…in some Asian countries.”可知,这种语义差异是由不同的社会背景造成的。culture意为“文化”。
5.句意:另一个例子是保持距离。
根据下文细节“…people stand close to each other when they are talking.”描述了交谈时站立的远近可知,此处在讨论人际空间。distance意为“距离”。
6.句意:但在其他国家,如果你站得太近,人们可能会感到不舒服并认为这是粗鲁的。
根据前文“…people may feel uncomfortable…”可知,由于感到不适,这种行为会被视为负面礼仪。rude意为“粗鲁的,无礼的”。
7.句意:在西方,直视某人的眼睛表示尊重,但在一些亚洲国家可能被视为不礼貌。
根据空后“…but it might be seen as impolite…”中转折词but的提示,西方文化对眼神交流的看法应与“无礼”相对。respect意为“尊重”。
8.句意:当你去外国旅行时,你应该注意你的肢体语言,避免留下坏印象。
根据全文探讨的不同文化差异,以及后文提到的“…learn about their local customs…”可知,旅行的目的地通常是文化背景不同的他国。foreign意为“外国的”。
9.句意:当你去外国旅行时,你应该注意你的肢体语言,避免留下坏印象。
根据语境,在异国注意言行是为了防止产生误解。固定搭配make a bad impression意为“留下坏印象”。impression意为“印象”。
10.句意:你应该在去之前了解他们的当地习俗。
根据语境,此处是对旅行者的合理建议。固定短语be supposed to do sth.意为“应当做某事”。supposed意为“应当的”。

【导语】本文讲述礼貌在日常生活中的重要性,介绍了中国和西方国家不同的礼貌习惯,并呼吁大家学习礼貌,让世界更美好
1.句意:礼貌让我们与他人相处得好。
空前的“get along”表示“相处”,后面需要用副词修饰。good(好的,形容词)、bad(坏的,形容词)、badly(坏地,副词)均不符合语境。“相处得好”应为 get along well,well是副词,修饰动词短语。
2.句意:在中国,我们应该在公交车上给老人和有需要的人让座。
文章中“we should…seats to the old and people in need on the bus”表示“给某人让座”,固定搭配是give seats to sb.。take(拿、带走)、bring(带来)、carry(搬运)均不符合。
3.句意:我们应该在图书馆里小声说话。
图书馆是安静场所,应“小声说话”。loudly(大声地)、clearly(清晰地)、quickly(快速地)均不符合。quietly(安静地)符合语境。
4.句意:我们不应该乱扔垃圾或插队。
文章中“We shouldn’t…litter”表示不应该“乱扔垃圾”,固定搭配是drop litter。pick(捡起)、fall(掉落,不及物)、close(关闭)均不符合。
5.句意:他们认为拜访朋友时带礼物是礼貌的。
句型“it’s polite+…”中,it 是形式主语,真正的主语应用不定式结构to do。take(动词原形)、took(过去式)、taking(动名词)均不符合。
6.句意:用手指指着别人是粗鲁的。
文章中“And it’s rude to point…others with fingers.”表示“指着某人”是粗鲁的,“指着某人”固定搭配是point at sb.。point in、point on、point for均不是正确搭配。
7.句意:拥有好的礼貌并不容易,但这很重要。
空前“it’s not easy to”中的to是不定式符号,后面接动词原形。have(动词原形)、has(三单)、having(动名词)、had(过去式)中,只有have符合。
8.句意:我们应该对每个人都有礼貌。
根据上下文,本文倡导礼貌行为,应“有礼貌的”。impolite(不礼貌的)、rude(粗鲁的)、strict(严格的)均不符合。polite(礼貌的)符合。
9.句意:我们应该向好人学习。
文章中“We should learn from…people.”表示,要向“好”的人学习礼貌。good(好的)、bad(坏的)、lazy(懒惰的)、foolish(愚蠢的)中,只有good符合语境。
10.句意:如果每个人都有好的礼貌,世界会变得更美好。
本句为 if 引导的条件状语从句,主句用一般将来时will+动词原形。become(原形)、becomes(三单)、will become(将来时)、became(过去式)中,will become符合。
Last year, I went to China as an exchange student. Before I left, my mother told me to learn about Chinese manners because good manners are important everywhere. Being polite can leave a good impression on others.
When I arrived in Beijing, my host family was very 1 . They cooked a big meal to welcome me warmly. During the dinner, they kept putting food on my 2 . I was too full to eat any more, but I thought it was 3 to say no. I didn’t want to hurt their feelings. So I tried to eat it 4 . Later, I learned that it is perfectly OK to refuse politely if I am full.
I also noticed some other interesting differences. In my home country, people usually 5 gifts as soon as they receive them to show their joy. But in China, people don’t usually open them 6 . They tend to wait until the guests leave. Also, when it 7 to praise, Chinese people are generally very 8 . Instead of saying "thank you" directly, they often smile and reply “Nali, nali”.
Now, I have got 9 to life in China. I feel at home and enjoy my stay here. I think it is important to respect different cultures. Understanding local manners helps us avoid unnecessary 10 and make more friends easily.

【导语】本文主要讲述了一名外国交换生在中国寄宿家庭的经历,通过对比中西方的礼仪差异,展现了尊重不同文化、理解当地习俗的重要性。
1.句意:当我到达北京时,我的寄宿家庭非常好客。
根据“They cooked a big meal to welcome me warmly.”可知,应选用hospitable“好客的、热情的”。strict“严格的”,modest“谦虚的”和proud“骄傲的”,均与热情欢迎的语境无关。
2.句意:晚餐时,他们不停地往我的盘子里夹菜。
根据餐桌礼仪常识及“putting food”的动作可知,应选用plate“盘子”,符合吃饭夹菜的场景。table“桌子”、chair“椅子”和desk“书桌”均不是放置菜肴的餐具,与语境不符。
3.句意:我吃得太饱了,再也吃不下了,但我觉得说“不”是不礼貌的。
根据上文主人不断给作者夹菜的语境以及句中but表示的转折逻辑可知,此处应选用impolite“不礼貌的”。careful“小心的”、smart“聪明的”和hard“困难的”均无法体现拒绝好意的后果,故排除。
4.句意:所以我试着吃光它。
eat up表示“吃光、吃完”,符合语境;eat down无此固定搭配,语义不成立;eat out“外出吃饭”和eat away“侵蚀、耗费”,均与“吃完食物”的语境不符。
5.句意:在我的国家,人们收到礼物后通常会立刻打开礼物,以表达他们的喜悦。
根据“But in China, people don’t usually open them…”的对比语境可知,应选用open“打开”,与后文形成中西方习俗对比。buy“买”、make“制作”和pack“打包”均与收到礼物后的行为无关。
6.句意:但在中国,人们通常不公开地打开礼物。他们会等到客人离开。
根据“They tend to wait until the guests leave”可知,应选用openly“公开地、当众”,符合中国人不当众拆礼的习俗。safely“安全地”、quietly“安静地”和heavily“沉重地” 均与习俗逻辑不符。
7.句意:此外,当涉及到表扬时,中国人通常非常谦虚。
when it comes to…为固定句型,表示“当谈到……时”,符合语境。turns“转变”、goes“去”、points“指出”均不符合语境和搭配。
8.句意:此外,当涉及到表扬时,中国人通常非常谦虚。
根据“…reply ‘Nali, nali’”的表达可知,应选用modest“谦虚的”,符合中国人面对表扬的态度。lazy“懒惰的”、shy“害羞的”和confident“自信的”均不符合该文化习惯。
9.句意:现在,我已经习惯中国的生活了。
根据“I feel at home and enjoy my stay here.”可知,作者现在在中国有宾至如归的感觉,应选用used,构成固定搭配get used to,表示“习惯于”。close“接近”、ready“准备好”和lost“迷路”逻辑不通。
10.句意:了解当地礼仪有助于我们避免不必要的麻烦,轻松交到更多朋友。
根据全文中西方礼仪存在差异的语境以及“avoid”的常见搭配可知,应选用trouble“麻烦、困扰”,符合不懂礼仪易产生误会与矛盾的逻辑。accident“事故”,侧重意外事件;success“成功”,与avoid搭配逻辑矛盾;disease“疾病”,与礼仪文化话题无关。
When you travel to other countries, you will find that people greet each other differently. In the US, people usually 1 hands when they meet for the first time. In Japan, it is a 2 to bow. You shouldn't stand too 3 to others to show respect. In some European countries, friends might 4 each other on the cheek. It shows they are very close.
It is also important to know what topics are 5 to talk about. In many Western countries, asking about age, weight or money is considered 6 . These are 7 topics. If you ask them, people will feel 8 and won’t want to continue the conversation.
When you are in a foreign country, 9 you are not sure what to do, just watch what others do. Remember the old saying: “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” This will help you 10 well with local people and make your trip more enjoyable.

【导语】本文介绍了不同国家的问候礼仪和谈话禁忌,并给出了“入乡随俗”的建议,帮助人们在异国旅行时更好地与当地人相处、享受旅程。
1.句意:在美国,人们初次见面时通常握手。
美国初次见面通常“握手”,“shake hands”是固定搭配,选B。
2.句意:在日本,鞠躬是一种习俗。
日本鞠躬是一种“习俗”,“custom”符合语境。rule规则,鞠躬不是强制规则,是文化习惯 ,dream梦想,完全不符合语义 ,mistake错误,逻辑不通。

Last year, I went to China as an exchange student. Before I left, my mother told me to learn about Chinese manners because good manners are important everywhere. Being polite can leave a good impression on others.
When I arrived in Beijing, my host family was very 1 . They cooked a big meal to welcome me warmly. During the dinner, they kept putting food on my 2 . I was too full to eat any more, but I thought it was 3 to say no. I didn’t want to hurt their feelings. So I tried to eat it 4 . Later, I learned that it is perfectly OK to refuse politely if I am full.
I also noticed some other interesting differences. In my home country, people usually 5 gifts as soon as they receive them to show their joy. But in China, people don’t usually open them 6 . They tend to wait until the guests leave. Also, when it 7 to praise, Chinese people are generally very 8 . Instead of saying "thank you" directly, they often smile and reply “Nali, nali”.
