题文

Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be upset（不安的）if your English friends don’t invite you home. It doesn’t mean they don’t like you. Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m. and end at about 11. Ask your hosts（主人）what time you should arrive. It’s polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift. Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks（小吃）. If you want to be extra polite, say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember－it’s not polite to ask how much things cost. In many families, the husband sits at one of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests. You’ll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you’ll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert（甜点心）, followed by coffee. It’s polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it. Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short “thank you” letter. British and American people like to say “thank you, thank, thank you” all the time! 小题1:If your English friend doesn’t invite you to dinner at home, it means he or she ______. A．doesn’t like you B．likes you C．can’t afford to do so D．is too busy 小题2:It’s impolite ______.

答案

小题1:B 小题2:A 小题3:B 小题4:A 小题5:D

文章讲的是英国和美国吃饭的礼仪，特别讲到了哪些是礼貌的和哪些是不礼貌的礼仪。 1. B 推理题。文章说You should not be upset（不安的）if your English friends don’t invite you home（你不必因为你的英语朋友没邀请你而感到不安），后面接着说明原因 It doesn’t mean they don’t like you（这并不意味着他们不喜欢你），故A答案错误，C,D答案文章没有提到，故最有可能就是他们也喜欢你，故选B。 2. A 细节题，文章讲了很多礼貌的行为，后面提到it’s not polite to ask how much things cost，故问价格是不礼貌的，选A。 3 B 细节题。由于用了start …then….and then…followed by coffee等表示先后的词，但最后落到了coffee上面，故选B。 4.A 从Ask your hosts（主人）what time you should arrive可知A正确，外国人最讲究准时，其它三个答案并没有提到，选A。 5.D  此题要从全文来分析答案。我们从it’s not polite to ask how much things cost可知问价格不礼貌，故B错；从the husband sits at one of the table and the wife sits at the other end可知C错。再从下文Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short “thank you” letter可知D正确，外国人喜欢说感谢之类的话。A答案文章没讲到，选D。

据专家权威分析，试题“Some British and American people like to invite friends for ..”主要考查你对  政治经济类阅读  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：

政治经济类阅读

考点名称：政治经济类阅读

• 政治经济类阅读：
  该类文章时代气息浓郁，语言鲜活，但熟字新义词、超纲词及专业词语多，长句、难句多。
  政治类文章大多数是同学们感性趣的内容，读起来倒有似曾相识的感觉，经济类文章读起来就像是雾里看花，文章看完，一头雾水。
  再加之这类文章的命题侧重于词义猜测、推理判断和文章主旨，同学们对这类题材是望而生畏。
  

• 政治经济类阅读注意：
  1、要做好这类阅读，平时就要注意了解国内外发生的政治经济大事，掌握一定背景知识；
  2、对这类文章的叙述特点及内容安排有一定了解，还要扩展这方面的词汇；
  3、阅读这类文章，要抓住文章的核心，即文章整体和各段主要在说什么，也要注意段落之间的逻辑关系。

  政治经济类阅读技巧：
  针对不同体裁的文章，我们要采取相应的阅读方法和技巧。政治类文章多采用记叙文形式，我们可采取“顺读法”，以便抓关键语句，领会文章主旨；而经济类文章则多采用说明文形式，我们则可以采取“逆读法”，先读试题，再从文章中查找有用信息。若遇到的确难读的材料。
  1. 寻找主干：
  根据英语中五种基本句型结构，把句子中的主语、谓语、宾语、表语等主要成分找出来，其他成分如定语、状语、补语等则易于理解。找到了句子主干，句子的意思至少明白了一半。
  2. 剔除从句：
  在一个长句中可能会出现若干个从句，在理解时，如果把各个从句剔除出来单独理解，然后把大意拼凑起来，整个长句的意思就会明白六、七分。
  3. 辨别分句：
  一个长句如果是由几个并列、转折、递进、对比关系的分句组成，句中往往有表示这些分句关系的连接词，只要能弄清楚分句和分句之间的逻辑关系，再把各层分句的意思加以连贯，整个长句的句意基本上能跃然脑中。
  4. 寻找关键词：
  如果一个句子看完，一点句意的感觉也没有，下下策就是抓住句中的关键词，通过关键词大体弄懂这个长句的意思。
