Question

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

When treating some friends to dinner, we Chinese often say, “The dishes are not good. Please forgive me.” In fact, it is a Chinese way of 【1】__ (be) modest. __【2】__ he really means is that all the dishes here are really wonderful! What he really hopes is compliment from the guests! But __【3】__ English would not understand it at all! Now that it is not very good, why should you present the dishes in front of us? The English would say to their guests “ Enjoy yourselves!” when eating and “hope you’ve enjoyed!” after eating.

While __【4】_ (eat), we Chinese often say to the guests, “Eat slowly.” This would be very _【5】__ (puzzle) to the foreigners: Am I eating very violently? Am I eating too __【6】_ or too much?

And now comes the end of the dinner when your guests _【7】_ (leave). The Chinese would say, “Walk slowly!” This is a very polite saying in Chinese, but will also be confusing to the foreigners: why can’t I walk fast? Does it matter _【8】__ I walk slowly or not? Are you worrying that I may fall over? _【9】_change your words _【10】_ a simple “Bye!” or “See you next time!”

【解析】

试题分析：通过本文考查学生正确运用英语单词的能力。

【1】being 句意：事实上，这是一种中式的谦虚方式。这里介词of后面用be的动名词形式，故填being。

【2】What 考查主语从句引导词。主语从句缺少宾语，故这里用what。句意：他真正的意思是这里所有的食物都很美味。

【3】the 考查冠词。句意：但是英国人可能完全不理解。这里the English指英国人。

【4】eating 句意：当吃饭时，我们中国人经常对客人说：“慢慢吃。”这里主从句主语一致，故从句省略主语，用eating。

【5】puzzling 考查形容词。句意：对外国人来说，这是非常令人迷惑的。这里用形容词puzzling。

【6】quickly/fast 考查副词。句意：是我吃的太快还是太多了呢?故这里用副词quickly/fast。

【7】will leave /are leaving 句意：当客人要离开时，中国人会说：“走慢点”。这里用将来时或者用进行时态表示将来，故will leave /are leaving。

【8】whether 句意：我走的快或者慢要紧吗？whether…or not是否。

【9】So 句意：因此，把你的词语变成一句简单的“再见”或者“下次见”。根据句意用so。

【10】for 考查固定搭配。change... for...把……换成……。
