阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选 项中，选出最佳选项回答问题或完成句子。

      China is a nation of etiquette (礼仪) .Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family,they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests.

      When you visit a Chinese family,the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks (小吃) like biscuits or candy. Someone in the family will also chat with you,never letting you feel lonely.

      At the same time,other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat (款待) their guests with a big meal. They always present more food than the guest can eat. On the table,the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the things that surprises a western guest most is that the Chinese host likes to pick food for visitors,which won’t happen at western tables. The Chinese family go out of their way to make you feel at home. As you are done eating,the host usually says, “It seems that you didn't eat much. Please have more. ” Although you tell them you are full,they still put more food in your bowl.

     Being warm and hospitable has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition. As Confucius (孔子) said thousands of years ago:

     To meet friends from a far 

     How happy we are !

Answer 1

1. A猜词题。词义猜测的解题技巧首先要定位到文章所在的句子 “ Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world.”然后要根据这个词汇的上下句进行推测。根据前文的“etiquette”和下文的“warmth”就基本可以推断为“好客的”。

2. C细节题。本题的解题技巧是先定位。定位到与题干相关的信息句，即第二段第一句和第二句“When you visit a Chinese family,the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks (小吃) like biscuits or candy. ”由此可知答案为   C.

3. C细节题。解答细节题通常第一步是进行定位，找到与题干相吴的信息句，本题的相关句是第三段的第三行 ^MPerhaps one of the things that surprises a western guest most is that the Chinese host likes to pick food for visitors,which won’t happen at western tables. ”后面的非限制性定语从句与题目选项C匹配，故选   C.

4. A细节题。此题依然为细节定位题。相关信息句定位到第三段的“The Chinese family go out of their way to make you feel at home. ”其中“go out of one's way to do sth."意思是竭尽全力做某事，而“to make you feel at home”与选项A一致。

5. B此题为推断题。根据文章主旨和夫子之言“To meet friends from afar How happy we are”基本可以确定选   B.
