题文

An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you might simply say something like this, “I’m afraid I’ll have to find a cheap place because I don’t have 1) _______ ________.” The other person may say, "OK., I’ll meet you at McDonald’s. "This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, "Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Johnson’s ", or "I want you to try the steak(牛排) there. It’s great. "This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him, and you needn’t pay for the meal. You may simply say, "Thank you. That would be very nice." American customs(习俗) about who pays for a date(约会) are much the same as those in other parts of the world.3) In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a woman who is a university(大学) student or is working in the business world will usually pay her own way during the date. If a man asks her to dinner, outside the normal working hours ,it means "come as my guest(客人). " So you can see it is better for you to make the question clear at the very beginning.  将1)处填上适当的词,使句意完整：______________ ______________ 2.回答问题： What does ‘to go Dutch’ mean ? __________________________________________________________. 3.将划线的句子译成中文：__________________________________________________________ 4.找出文中与下列句子意思相近的句子 So you can see you’d better make the question clear at the start. _______________________________________________________________________ 5．找出文中最能表达短文主题的句子______________________________________________________________________________

答案

1. much money 2. Each person pays for himself. 3. 在过去，美国妇女要男子给所有的饭付款。 4 So you can see it is better for you to make the question clear at the very beginning. 5. An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal.

1. 根据上文“I’m afraid I’ll have to find a cheap place”恐怕要找一个便宜的地方，可见“钱不多”“I don’t have much money” 2.根据上下文“This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself” that is 也就是说，下文的each person pays for himself就是上文go Dutch的解释。 3. 字面翻译“在过去，美国妇女要男子给所有的饭付款。” 4 理解“So you can see you’d better make the question clear at the start.”就是“你要明白最好在开始的时候把意思说清楚”所以当然就是文章最后一句“So you can see it is better for you to make the question clear at the very beginning.” 5. 本文的主题就是介绍在美国文化中出门吃饭谁付钱的问题，很明显文章第一句“An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal.”就是主题句。
