This is called “leaving a tip”. Not leaving a tip is very rude. In the U.S., it’s common to leave tips of 10%, 15% or 20% of the check.

26. What does the underlined word “still” mean in Chinese?
A. quiet B. unmoving C. active D. moving

D. Chinese people never share the cost of a meal.
30. What is the best title for the passage?

【答案】26. B 27. D 28. A 29. C 30. D
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了不同国家在餐桌礼仪、就餐氛围和聚餐付账方式上存在诸多文化差异。
【26题详解】
根据第一段“And their left hand stays still. Eating with your left hand is very rude!”可知,在印度人们只用右手吃饭,左手要保持不动,否则是不礼貌的。因此“still”在此处意为“不动的”,与选项B“unmoving”意思相符。
【27题详解】
根据第二段“In western countries... Everyone has his or her own plate of food.”可知,在西方国家,人们通常吃自己盘子里的食物,不共用菜肴。
【28题详解】
根据第四段上下文,空前提到“in western countries... they usually share the cost”,空后提到“This is called ‘going Dutch’”。选项A“This means each person pays for their own meal.”正好解释了“share the cost”的具体含义,并引出后文的“going Dutch”,逻辑通顺。
【29题详解】
根据第三段“For example, in China it is OK to be noisy in a restaurant. In fact, if a restaurant is not noisy, you may think it is not very good.”可知,在中国餐馆吵闹是可以接受的,如果餐馆不吵闹,人们可能会觉得它不好。
【30题详解】
通读全文可知,文章第一段首句“Around the world, people have different ideas about what good table manners are.”即点明主题,随后分别从印度、西方国家、中国等地的用餐习惯、噪音控制、付账方式等方面介绍了不同的餐桌礼仪。因此“Table Manners”是最合适的标题。

五、读写综合(本大题分为A、B两部分,共25分)
回答问题
Kurt and his wife Rita have spent many years making meals for the homeless people in Berlin. They first began to do that during a hot summer. After seeing homeless people struggling (挣扎) to find something to eat on the street, Kurt and Rita decided to make some food for them.
Kurt and Rita soon found that simply giving out food wasn’t enough. Most of the homeless people were lonely. They had no friends or family. “What these people also need is care,” said Rita. Later, Kurt and Rita came up with an idea. They gave their phone numbers to the homeless people and told them to call up anytime. And their home was always open to the homeless people in need.
Kurt and Rita soon ran out of all their money and got into trouble. Kurt then visited some companies to ask for donations. After knowing what they did, over thirty companies saved money to buy food or other things for them. Many volunteers helped to hand out these things to the homeless.
