I hated dinner parties .But I decided to give them another shot because I’m  in London. And my friend Mallery invited me . And because dinner parties in London are very different from those  in New York,  “I’m having a dinner party ” means : “I’m booking a table for 12 at a restaurant  you can’t afford ang we’ll be sharing the cheque evenly , no matter what you eat.” Wors , in  Manhattan there  is  always someone who  leaves before  the  bill arrives  .They’ll throw  down cash, half of what  they owe, and then people like me, who don’t  drink, end  up paying even  more . But if try to use the same  trick  , the hostess will shout; “Where are you going ?” And it’s not like I can  say I have somewhere to go : everyone knows I have  nowhere to go.

But in London, dinner patise are in people’s homes . Not only that, the guests  are an interesting  mix .The last time I went to one , the guests were from France , India ,Denmark and  Nigeria; it was like a gathering  at the United Nations . In New York ,the mix is less striking . It’s  like a gathering at Bloomingdat=le’s , a well-known de partment  store.

For New Yorkers, talking ,talking  about  other  parts  of the world  means Brooklyn  and Queens in New Yorkers.But at Mallery’s ,when I side that I had been to Myanmar recently, peo ple knew where it was , In New Yorkers people would think it was a usual culb.

解析:

【语篇解读】本篇文章为记叙文。主要讲述英国不同地区的人对于晚宴的态度方式。

【小题1】词义理解题。由下文的“And my friend Mallery invited me.”可知,虽然“我”憎恨dinner parties,但是因为我在伦敦,朋友Mallery的邀请,于是我决定再试试。因此正确答案为B。

【小题2】推理判断题。根据第一段“I’m booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can’t afford and we will be sharing the cheque evenly, no matter what you eat.”可知,在纽约,无论你吃了什么,对于账单都是平均地付钱,这样不公平。因此正确答案为C。

【小题3】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix.”可知,作者认为伦敦的晚宴更加有意思。因此正确答案为D。

【小题4】细节理解题。根据第二段“In New York, the mix is less striking.”和最后一段可知,纽约人自我为中心。因此正确答案为B。
