七选五
(2018·济南模拟)While you are travelling abroad, cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic mistakes, which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill feeling between individuals. 1.________
·Touching Someone
2.________ In Mediterranean countries, if you don’t touch someone’s arm when talking to them or if you don’t greet them with kisses or a warm hug, you’ll be considered cold. But backslap(拍背) someone who isn’t a family member or a good friend in Korea, and you’ll make them uncomfortable. In Thailand, the head is considered sacred—never even pat a child on the head.
·Talking over Dinner
In some countries, like China, Japan and some African nations, the food is the thing, so don’t start chatting about your day’s adventures while everyone else is digging into dinner.
3.________ It’s not because your group is unfriendly, but because mealtimes are for eating, not talking.
·Removing Your Shoes or Not
Take off your shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party and the hostess will find you uncivilized, but fail to remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia, Hawaii, or the Pacific Islands and you’ll be considered disrespectful. So, if you see a row of shoes at the door, start undoing your laces. 4.________
Once you are on the ground of a different country, remain highly sensitive to native behavior. 5.________ And don’t feel offended if something seems offensive—like queue jumping. After all, this is a global village, and we are all very different.
A.Personal space varies as you travel the globe.

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文,讲述了一些出国旅游时应当注意的文化上的错误。
1.E 解析:该空是一个总结句,用来引出下面要提到的话题,起承上启下的作用,故选E项。
2.A 解析:结合小标题“Touching Someone”及下文提到的不同国家对于触碰有不同的习俗可知,不同的地方对个人空间的理解各不相同。故选A项。
3.G 解析:上文介绍在中国、日本和一些非洲国家,吃饭时不要闲谈。由此可知,吃饭时要保持沉默,只有G项与此相关。故选G项。
4.F 解析:该空与前一句是相反的情况,上文提到“如果你在门口看到一排鞋子,就松开你的鞋带”,接下来就应当描写与之相反的情况,故选F项。
5.C 解析:从空后的“And don’t ...like queue jumping.”可知,此空与该句表并列关系,也应是“不要……”,故选C项。

【解题导语】 本文介绍了“茶”的起源。
1.roughly 解析:考查副词。副词修饰动词。故填 roughly “粗略地”。
2.to discover 解析:考查非谓语动词。不定式短语作后置定语。故填 to discover。
3.medicine 解析:考查词性转换。形容词 herbal “药草的”修饰名词。故填 medicine。herbal medicine 意为“草药”。
4.is said 解析:考查被动语态。根据语境可知,据说神农曾一天之内尝试了72种不同的有毒植物。It is said that意为“据说……”。
5.dropping 解析:考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知,此时,他注意到几片芳香的叶子正从他旁边的树上掉落下来。空处强调“正在掉落”,故用 drop 的现在分词形式。
6.of 解析:考查介词。短语 out of curiosity 意为“出于好奇”。
7.them 解析:考查代词。根据语境可分析出,空处指代 and 前的leaves, 指咀嚼“它们”。故填 them。
8.energetic 解析:考查词性转换。感官动词felt 后应用形容词,故填 energetic。
