Chinese people usually ask “Where are you going?" when they meet someone.

What do Americans say when they m【1】their friends in the morning? They don't ask “Where are you going?" They say “Good morning", “Hello" or “Hi” to each other. “How are you?” is a nice question. It is a f【2】way for American people to greet each other. But “How are you?" is a【3】 a very unusual(不寻常的) question. It doesn't need a(n) a【4】. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear “Fine” or “Fine, thank you. And you?” even if the person's friend is not fine.

If Americans meet a person for the f 【6】 time, they usually says “How do you do?” to the person. The person will say “How do you do?" to them. When they are familiar( 熟悉的) with e【7】other. they will say “How are you?” instead of “How do you do?”.

【解析】

短文大意：本文是文化类阅读，介绍了美国人见面时的日常用语，介绍了“How are you?”的特殊性以及和“How do you do?”的区别。

【1】句意：美国人早上和朋友见面时会说什么?

本句是when引导的时间状语从句，从句缺谓语动词；根据What do Americans say和首字母提示，可知是早上和朋友见面时会说什么，故填meet。

【2】句意：这是美国人相互问候的一种友好的方式。

way方式，名词需用形容词修饰；根据“How are you?” is a nice question（“你好吗”是一个好问题）可知询问对方身体状况是友好的表现，结合首字母提示，可知填friendly。

【3】句意：但是“你好吗?”总是一个很不寻常的问题。

本句缺频度状语，根据句意语境和首字母提示，可知填always。

【4】句意：它不需要答案。

根据下文“Fine” isn't really an answer（“Fine”也不是一个真正的答案）结合首字母提示，可知它不需要答案，故填answer。

【5】句意：“Fine”也不是一个真正的答案。

根据上文“How are you?” isn't really a question（“How are you?”并不是一个真正的问题）结合首字母提示，可知填really。

【6】句意：如果美国人初次见面，他们通常会说“How do you do?”

根据下文When they are familiar with each other. they will say “How are you?” instead of “How do you do?” 当他们彼此熟悉的时候，他们会问“How are you?”而不是“How do you do?”，可知初次见面时说“How do you do?”，故填first。

【7】句意：当他们彼此熟悉的时候，他们会问“How are you?”而不是“How do you do?”

each other互相，固定短语；根据句意语境和首字母提示，可知填each。

短文填空，要求根据句意语境和首字母提示填空，使句意通顺，语法正确，文意连贯。主要考查单词形式，包括名词的单复数和所有格、动词的三单形式、非谓语动词、基数词或序数词，主格代词/宾格代词和物主代词（形容词性物主代词/名词性物主代词）等。这类题目难度不大，重点是掌握句意，在理解的基础上把握句子时态，从而判断所填单词的正确形式。例如小题6，根据下文When they are familiar with each other. they will say “How are you?” instead of “How do you do?” 当他们彼此熟悉的时候，他们会问“How are you?”而不是“How do you do?”，可知初次见面时说“How do you do?”，故填first。
