【解析】本文是一篇介绍英国道歉文化的说明文。文章中作者介绍了英国作为第一道歉大国的原因以及道歉在英国人日常生活中的具体表现。
1.句意：不管他们是为提问道歉，为恶劣的天气道歉，还是因为打喷嚏道歉，他们可能是道歉的头号国家。
until直到……为止，引导时间状语从句；although尽管，引导让步状语从句；unless除非，引导条件状语从句；because因为，引导原因状语从句。据题干可知不论是提问，恶劣的天气还是打喷嚏都是英国人道歉的原因，结合选项，只有D表原因，故选D。
2.句意：英国人以他们在公共场合对彼此彬彬有礼而自豪。
themselves他们自己；yourselves你（们）自己；ourselves我们自己；himself他自己。由题干中“their 他们的”提示可知此处指的是英国人为“他们自己”感到自豪，A符合题意，故选A。
3.句意：因此，他们经常使用“对不起”这个词，即使他们不是那个意思！
prefer更喜欢；mean表示……的意思；know知道；imagine想象。由句意可知英国人经常说“对不起”，即使他们不是表示对不起的意思，结合选项只有B符合句意，故选B。
4.句意：通常，如果他们想问陌生人时间，他们会先说“很抱歉打扰你一下”。
stop停止；leave离开；finish完成；start开始。由前一句“... they often use the word “sorry”... ……他们经常使用‘对不起’这个词”可推测当英国人想要问时间时会先从“对不起”开始，D符合题意，故选D。
5.句意：如果他们约会迟到5分钟，他们通常会向对方打招呼说“对不起，我迟到了！”。
before在……之前；for 表示某事发生的场合；of表所属关系；from来自。空格后的“an appointment 一场约会”是迟到5分钟发生的场合，结合四个选项，B符合题意，故选B。
6.句意：如果他们迟到了15分钟，他们可能会更加抱歉地说“真的十分对不起，我迟到了！”。
just刚刚；only只，仅仅；so非常；ever甚至。由“...they might want to be even more apologetic...”可知如果英国人迟到了更久，他们肯定会更加抱歉，sorry是形容词，要加深sorry的程度要用副词修饰，so sorry 非常抱歉，符合题意，故选C。
7.句意：为什么英国人那么频繁地使用“对不起”呢？
When 什么时候，提问时间；Why 为什么，提问原因；How 怎样，提问方式方法；What什么，提问具体内容。根据下一句回答“Well, in the British culture, saying “sorry” is a way to be polite... 在英国文化中说‘抱歉’是一种表达礼貌的方式……”可知前面的问题是在问英国人爱道歉的“原因”，B符合句意，故选B。
8.句意：在英国文化中，说“对不起”是一种表示礼貌的方式，特别是对他们不太了解的人。
especially特别地；possibly可能地；suddenly突然地；hardly几乎不。分别将四个选项代入句中，只有especially符合句意，表达的是“说‘对不起’是一种表示礼貌的方式，尤其是对他们不太了解的人。”，故选A。
9.句意：在最近的研究中，一个演员在雨天接近不同的陌生人，询问他是否可以用一下他们的手机。
same 一样的；strange 奇怪的；smart 聪明的；different 不同的。由后文中的“one group of strangers 其中一组陌生人”提示可知陌生人被分成了“不同的”组，D符合语境，故选D。
10.句意：当他走到其中一组陌生人面前，先不道歉地问他们时，他借手机的成功率只有9%。
buying 买；keeping 保留，保持；borrowing 借（进）；lending借（出）。由前文“...if he could use their mobile phones. ……是否他可以使用他们的手机”可知演员是要向陌生人“借入”他们的手机，C符合题意，故选C。
九、阅读理解
A
I arrived in the UK last weekend to learn English. So far I have already made a few friends and had some traditional English food there. But after having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes, I thought none could be more delicious than Chinese food, especially my favorite—huo guo. You can't imagine how excited I was when I got to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen, I seemed to smell huo guo in the air.
To my surprise, when I went into the room, I didn't see any sign of huo guo. Where was it
With many questions in my head, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with an English girl, I got to know that Chinese huo guo is completely different from hotpot. Chinese huo guo is written in two words—hot pot; and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.
Hotpot is made from mutton and onion. On the top are pieces of potatoes. People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot on a low heat. It takes very little effort to prepare. You can often see it at parties in the UK because it's easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.
Hotpot doesn't taste bad. However, I still miss huo guo—hot pot, two words!
1.The writer felt excited when she thought she would .
A. try traditional English food
B. learn English in the UK
C. have her favorite huo guo
D. meet some new friends
2.The underlined word “canteen” means“ ”in Chinese.
A.宿舍 B.餐厅 C.实验室 D.体育馆
3.What is the writer's favorite food
A. Sandwiches. B. Mutton. C. Hotpot. D. Hot pot.
【答案】CBD
【解析】作者到英国时最想念中国的火锅。在经历了一次误会之后,她才知道hot pot和hotpot是完全不同的两种食物。
1.C通读第一段可知,作者觉得很兴奋,因为她觉得她可以吃到自己最喜欢的火锅了,故答案为C。
2.B 结合上下文可推断,canteen是吃饭的地方,即“餐厅”。
3.D根据第一段中的“...my favorite—huo guo”以及第三段中的“Chinese huo guo is written in two words—hot pot...”可知,作者最喜欢的食物是“火锅”,即hot pot。
B
In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts (主人) and the worst guests in the world. They're not really bad guests, but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different than in some western countries, it appears that they are not nice guests. And western hosts sometimes look rude(粗鲁的) in the eyes of Chinese guests.
In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.
My wife's mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke ” But, don't be surprised if they say, “No, you can't smoke.” In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they do not allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.
Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your house, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.
In China, you probably won't need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.
1.Many foreigners think that Chinese hosts are the in the world.
A. best B. worst C. most natural D. most different
2.When a western guest visits a Chinese family, he often .
A. buys some fruit B. feels like a god C. wants some gifts D. takes a cup of tea
3.What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “adapt to” in the passage
A. think back to B. get used to C. look forward to D. keep close to
4.What is the main idea of this passage
A. Foreigners should learn from Chinese.
B. Hosts must do things in the guests' way.
C. Western hosts are always nice to guests.
D. People should understand cultural differences.
【答案】ABBD
【解析】本文介绍了中西方文化在待客方面的差异。
1.A 由第一段中的“In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts...”可知答案为A。
2. B 由第二段中的“In China, guests are almost like gods.”可知答案为B。
3.B 画线的短语是adapt to,根据上下文的描述可知,中国的客人还有一些特殊的习惯,一些西方人或许不会很快“适应”这些特殊的习惯,adapt to的含义是“适应”,同get used to。
4.D通读全文可知,本文的大意是人们应该理解文化差异,故答案为D。Unit 10 You’re supposed to shake hands.

I arrived in the UK last weekend to learn English. So far I have already made a few friends and had some traditional English food there. But after having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes, I thought none could be more delicious than Chinese food, especially my favorite—huo guo. You can't imagine how excited I was when I got to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen, I seemed to smell huo guo in the air.
To my surprise, when I went into the room, I didn't see any sign of huo guo. Where was it
With many questions in my head, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with an English girl, I got to know that Chinese huo guo is completely different from hotpot. Chinese huo guo is written in two words—hot pot; and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.
Hotpot is made from mutton and onion. On the top are pieces of potatoes. People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot on a low heat. It takes very little effort to prepare. You can often see it at parties in the UK because it's easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.
Hotpot doesn't taste bad. However, I still miss huo guo—hot pot, two words!

In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts (主人) and the worst guests in the world. They're not really bad guests, but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different than in some western countries, it appears that they are not nice guests. And western hosts sometimes look rude(粗鲁的) in the eyes of Chinese guests.
In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.
My wife's mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke ” But, don't be surprised if they say, “No, you can't smoke.” In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they do not allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.
Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your house, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.
In China, you probably won't need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.
