Question

阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 　　Of course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that's only superficial．Besides, in decent restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough．The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares．If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you’re in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes． 　　The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes．Soup then will be served(unless in Guangdong style restaurants)to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings．If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all． 　　Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests．In formal dinners, there are always “public” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks．This is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness．It is always polite to eat the food．If you do not eat it, just leave the food in the plate． 　　People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed．When you have had enough, just say so．Or you will always overeat!

Answer 1

答案：1．A;2．C;3．B;4．A;5．D;
解析：

(1)	根据第一段第一句“the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that's only superficial”可知A不对。根据第三句“The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares．”可知应该选B。
(2)	本题为细节理解题。可以根据文章第二段第一句“The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes．”可知是以a set of four cold dishes开始的，然后是the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes。根据第二句“Soup then will be served(unless in Guangdong style restaurants)to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings．”可知先上serving soup, 再上the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes。 可以推出应该选择D。
(3)	本题为细节理解题。从第三段最后一句“If you do not eat it, just leave the food in the plate．”可知B项不对；选项C是文章直接给出的，故而不选。从文章第一段第二句“you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough．”可知D不对。从第三段第一句“some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests．”可知应该选A。
(4)	本题考查学生根据上下文推理的能力。从下文“……for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all．”来看中国人都喜欢最后吃主食或者不吃，因此如果你想吃的话要提早说。故而选择B。
(5)	根据文章倒数第二段第二句话In formal dinners, there are always “public” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, …．可知是为了this purpose，而this应该是承接上文所指即“to put food into the plates of their guests”，因此应该选择C。
