2012年高考英語(yǔ)完形填空考前訓(xùn)練

Here I must put in a few words about my experience here in China. If I have ___1___ with a Chinese host, he always presses___2___ food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied the previous helping. That often makes me ___3___ very awkward(尷尬的). I have to eat the food even if I don’t ___4___ it, because it is considered ___5___ manners in the West to ___6___ one’s food on the plate. I have also ___7___ that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he very often ___8___ the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or ___9___. This might be good manners in China, but it is certainly ___10___ in the West. In the United States, it is­­ ___11___ to keep asking someone again and again or press something on him. Americans are very ___12___. If they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, “­___13___.” Here’s an example: When an American is offered ___14___ by the host, and he doesn’t feel like beer, he will probably say,

“No, thanks. I just don’t feel like it. I’ll ___15___ some diet Pepsi-Cola if you have it.” That is___16___an American will do. ___17___ are taught that “Honesty is the best policy”. But in some countries, courtesy(禮貌) might be more important than ___18___. So when I am here in China, I have to observe the ___19___ here. But when you go to ___20___, you had better “do as the Romans do”.(www.yygrammar.com)

【答案與解析】

本文說(shuō)的是中美風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣問(wèn)題。首先說(shuō)的是“我”在中國(guó)的經(jīng)歷，對(duì)中國(guó)主人“勸飯”的做法不理解，有時(shí)覺(jué)得很尷尬;接著又通過(guò)在宴會(huì)上的例子說(shuō)明在中國(guó)和美國(guó)什么做法是禮貌的，并說(shuō)要“入鄉(xiāng)隨俗”。

1. B。從后面的 he always presses ___2___ food onto my plate… 等來(lái)看，此處說(shuō)的是吃飯時(shí)的禮節(jié)問(wèn)題，故用 dinner。

2. A。當(dāng)我在中國(guó)做客時(shí)，主人總是在我吃完先前的食物時(shí)又強(qiáng)夾給我更多的食物。故用 more。

3. C。主人的這種做法讓我覺(jué)得很尷尬。在這里應(yīng)用系動(dòng)詞 feel。

4. B。3, 4, 5, 6 題應(yīng)結(jié)合起來(lái)考慮。根據(jù)西方人的觀點(diǎn)，吃飯時(shí)應(yīng)把盤子中的食物都掉，否則就是不禮貌。因此，當(dāng)在中國(guó)吃飯時(shí)，主人喜歡硬給客人盛飯菜，可客人即使不喜歡這些食物，也只好把它吃掉。

5. B。句意為：盡管我不喜歡，但我只好把它吃了，因?yàn)樵谖鞣桨咽澄锸Ａ粼诒P子里被認(rèn)為是不禮貌的。

6. B。西方人認(rèn)為，把盤子里的飯吃干凈是禮貌的，而把飯剩留(leave)在盤子里則是不禮貌的。

7 A。從上下文可知，此處說(shuō)的是“我”在一個(gè)美國(guó)人舉行的宴會(huì)上所注意到(notice)的一個(gè)中國(guó)人的做法，即他經(jīng)常拒絕別人提供給他吃的食物或飲料，盡管他很餓或很渴。

8. B。根據(jù)中國(guó)人的習(xí)慣，在餐桌上常拒絕別人提供給他吃的食物和飲料，這是有禮貌的做法。

9. A。前面說(shuō)的是 food or drink，這里的 hungry 與 thirsty 才與之相對(duì)。

10. C。前面提到的“在飯桌上拒絕別人”的做法，在中國(guó)是有禮貌的，但這在西方確實(shí)是不禮貌的。…but it is certainly not in the West 為 …but it is certainly not good manners in the West 的省略句。

11. A。由上下文及常識(shí)可知，在美國(guó)不停地一遍遍地問(wèn)人家或把東西強(qiáng)加給他人是不禮貌的。

12. B。從下文的“如果他們想要東西，他們就要;如果不想要，就說(shuō)‘不，謝謝’”等，可推測(cè)這里說(shuō)的是美國(guó)人很“直接(direct)”。

13. C。從下文舉的例子來(lái)看，當(dāng)不想要某樣?xùn)|西時(shí)，美國(guó)人常直接說(shuō)“No, thanks”。

14. B。從下句 and he doesn’t feel like beer… 可知要填 beer。

15. D。此句句意為“如果有 Pepsi-Cola 的話，就給我來(lái)點(diǎn)它吧”。take在這里有“喝”的意思。

16. B。前面舉例說(shuō)明美國(guó)人的一些做法，在此作簡(jiǎn)單的總結(jié)，即“這就是美國(guó)人的做法”。 what 引導(dǎo)表語(yǔ)從句。

17. C。本文談?wù)摰木褪侵袊?guó)人與美國(guó)人在餐桌上的禮貌問(wèn)題，故此處應(yīng)為“美國(guó)人教的是‘誠(chéng)實(shí)是最好的策略’”。

18. B。前面雖說(shuō) Honesty is the best policy，但根據(jù) But 可知此處說(shuō)的是“在一些國(guó)家禮貌也許比誠(chéng)實(shí)更重要”。

19. A。本文談?wù)摰氖橇?xí)俗問(wèn)題，故用 customs

20. C作者是美國(guó)人，故此處說(shuō)的是“如果你到美國(guó)，就最好‘入鄉(xiāng)隨俗’”。
