2019中考英语选练(4)(阅读理解+词汇应用+首字母+书面表达)
(限时:30分钟)
一、阅读理解
The customs in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always puts more food onto my plates as soon as I have emptied them. It often discomforts me greatly. I have to eat the food even if I don’t want to, because it is considered bad manners in the West to leave one’s food on the plate. I have already noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he very often refuses the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or thirsty. This might be good manners in china, but it is not in the West at all. In the US it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on him accepting something. Americans have a direct way of speaking. If they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say “No, thanks”. When an American is fed with beer by the host, for example, he might say, “No, thanks, I’ll take some Diet. Pepsy–cola if you have it.” That is what an American will do. So when you go to the US, you had better remember the famous saying, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”.
1. From the passage, we know that the Chinese are usually _______ to the guests.
A. eager to give all they have B. polite
C. impolite D. cold
2. When a foreigner has dinner with a Chinese host, he often feels _________.

3. Why does a Chinese often refuse the offer of food or drink at a dinner party? Because _______.

C. he is afraid that others will laugh at him D. he thinks it’s polite to do that
4. When an American wants something to eat or drink at dinner, he will _________.
5
A. go and take it himself B. refuse the hosts offer
C. ask for it directly D. ask another to fetch it for him
5. “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Means ________.
A. when you get to Rome, you should act as the Romans do
B. when you stay in Rome, you should do as the Romans do
C. when you are in a new country, you should do as the natives do

【参考范文】One possible version:
Dear Sam,
How is everything going? Something is troubling me very much. So I'm writing to ask for your advice.
I'm going to study in the senior middle school in September. I can live either at school or at home. But I can't decide because both have advantages and disadvantages. At home, I have my own room. So I can have a good sleep. However, I have to share one room with 5 students at school. Maybe I can't sleep well. It's a problem. Although I can have better food at home, I enjoy eating with my classmates. I think it's great fun and I can make more friends.

If I live at home, I'll have to ride to school. It's a waste of time and not safe.
It's too hard for me to make a decision. I would be very glad if you could give me some suggestions.
Please write back soon.
Yours,
Philip
