九、阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
In Thailand, people do not eat with chopsticks. This is different from China, Japan and Korea. They use spoons and forks. 1 People will cut most food before meals. If you need to cut food during meals, use the side of your spoon first and then use your fork.
2 People in Thailand use spoons more often than forks. If you are left-handed, keep the spoon in your left hand and the fork in your right hand.
People in Thailand like eating rice. The rice is not on the same plate with the other food. Each person eats rice on his own plate. It’s not necessary to finish all your rice or all your food. 3 If you eat up all the food on your plate, it means you want more.
4 Because the host will ask you two or three times if you want more food. It’s the same with drinks. During the meal, never empty (清空) your cup or glass. When it’s less than half full, your host or neighbour will fill it again. 5 It’s polite to fill the glass for your neighbour. That means you must keep an eye on your neighbour’s glass during the meal.
A．They never use knives.
B．Never fill your own glass.
C．It is good to leave a little on your plate.
D．The spoon is more important than the fork.
E．You don’t need to worry if your food on the plate is not enough (足够的).

1．根据“They use spoons and forks… People will cut most food before meals. If you need to cut food during meals, use the side of your spoon first and then use your fork.”可推知，泰国人不用刀切食物，选项A“他们从不使用刀具。”符合语境。故选A。
2．根据“People in Thailand use spoons more often than forks.”可推知，勺子比叉子更重要，选项D“勺子比叉子更重要。”符合语境。故选D。
3．根据“It’s not necessary to finish all your rice or all your food… If you eat up all the food on your plate, it means you want more.”可推知，盘中留一点食物是礼貌的，选项C“盘子里留点食物是好事。”符合语境。故选C。
4．根据“Because the host will ask you two or three times if you want more food.”可推知，不必担心食物不足，因为主人会主动提供，选项E“如果你盘子里的食物不够，你不用担心。”符合语境。故选E。
5．根据“It’s the same with drinks. During the meal, never empty (清空) your cup or glass. When it’s less than half full, your host or neighbour will fill it again…It’s polite to fill the glass for your neighbour. That means you must keep an eye on your neighbour’s glass during the meal.”可推知，不能自己倒饮料，选项B“永远不要自己倒饮料。”符合语境。故选B。
十、阅读理解。
Last year, I went to England with my parents. I was very excited because it was my first time going abroad. Before we left, my mom told me that people in England are very polite and pay much attention to table manners. I didn’t take it seriously and thought it was not a big deal.
One day, we went to a restaurant for dinner. I started eating as soon as the food was served, but my dad stopped me. He said that in England, people usually wait for everyone to get their food before eating. I felt a little embarrassed and stopped eating. A waiter passed by and smiled at me kindly. He told me that it’s common to follow table manners in England, and no one would laugh at me for making a mistake.
After dinner, we met a local boy named Tom. He was friendly and showed us around his neighborhood. He told us that different countries have different customs, and it’s important to respect them. I felt sorry for not following table manners and decided to learn more about foreign cultures. From then on, I paid more attention to cultural differences and tried to understand them. This experience taught me that cross-cultural respect is the key to getting along with people from different countries. We should always keep an open mind and learn from each other’s cultures.
1．Who first told the writer about English table manners
A．His dad. B．His mom. C．The waiter. D．Tom.
2．How did the writer feel when he was stopped by his dad in the restaurant
A．Embarrassed. B．Angry. C．Happy. D．Surprised.
3．What did the writer learn from his trip to England
A．English table manners are easy to follow. B．We should respect different cultures.
C．Foreign waiters are very kind. D．It’s boring to learn foreign customs.
【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在英国因未遵守餐桌礼仪而被父亲提醒，通过此行认识到尊重不同文化的重要性，并从此更加关注文化差异的经历。
1．第一段第三句指出“Before we left, my mom told me that people in England are very polite and pay much attention to table manners”，这直接说明是妈妈首先告知作者英国的餐桌礼仪。
2．第二段第四句指出“I felt a little embarrassed and stopped eating”，这直接说明作者被父亲制止时感到尴尬。
3．最后一段总结指出“This experience taught me that cross-cultural respect is the key to getting along with people from different countries”，并结合全文作者从失误到反思、学习的过程，可知作者此行学到的是应尊重不同文化。

Another difference is about greetings. In China, people often shake hands. In some countries, people 6 or kiss on the cheek.
Gift-giving customs also vary. In China, it’s common to bring a small gift when 7 someone’s home. In some Western countries, people might bring flowers or wine.
Table manners are very important in every culture. In Japan, it’s polite to say “itadakimasu” before eating. In France, you should keep your hands on the table, not on your 8 .
Understanding these customs shows 9 for other cultures. When you visit another country, it’s good to learn about their customs. As the saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans 10 .”

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，围绕不同国家的文化习俗展开，探讨了各国在餐桌礼仪、见面问候、送礼习惯等方面的异同，强调理解这些差异有助于更好地与不同文化背景的人交流，并以“入乡随俗”的谚语作结，倡导尊重他国文化。
1．句意：理解这些差异可以帮助我们更好地与来自其他文化的人交流。
communicate交流，动词原形；communicating交流，动名词；communication交流，名词。help sb. (to) do sth.意为“帮助某人做某事”，为固定搭配，因此此处应使用动词原形。故选A。
2．句意：例如，在中国，嘴里塞满食物时说话是不礼貌的。
with和……一起，表伴随；in在……里面；on在……上面。with your mouth full是固定表达，with在此处表伴随状态，意为“嘴里塞满食物”。故选A。
3．句意：在巴西，这样做也是不礼貌的。所以这在两个国家是一样的。
same相同的；different不同的； similar相似的。由上句“In Brazil, it’s also rude to do that.”可知，此处表示两国在这一点上的习俗完全相同。the same是固定搭配，意为 “一样的”，符合语境。故选A。
4．句意：在中国，人们通常用筷子吃饭。但在巴西，他们用刀叉。
But但是，表转折；And和，表并列；So所以，表因果。前文“中国用筷子”和后文“巴西用刀叉”是明显的对比关系，需要用转折连词连接。故选A。
5．句意：这是一个明显的差异。
same相同的；difference差异，名词；similarity相似之处。前文对比了中国和巴西的餐具使用习惯，两者不同，因此这是一个“差异”。故选B。
6．句意：在中国，人们经常握手。在一些国家，人们鞠躬或亲吻脸颊。
bow鞠躬，动词原形； bowed鞠躬，动词过去式；bowing鞠躬，动名词。前文“people often shake hands”使用了一般现在时，后文也应保持时态一致，主语people为复数，谓语动词用原形。故选A。
7．句意：在中国，拜访别人家时带个小礼物是很常见的。
visit拜访，动词原形；visiting拜访，动名词；visited拜访，动词过去式。when引导的时间状语从句中，若主语与主句主语一致且含be动词，可省略主语和be动词，此处用动名词visiting表示主动进行的动作。故选B。
8．句意：在法国，你应该把手放在桌子上，而不是放在腿上。
lap（坐着时的）大腿前部；leg腿；foot脚。根据西方餐桌礼仪常识，在法国就餐时，手应放在桌面上，而不是放在腿上。故选A。
9．句意：理解这些习俗体现了对其他文化的尊重。
respect尊重，名词；disrespect不尊重，名词；respectful恭敬的，形容词。show是及物动词，后需接名词作宾语，且show respect for意为“对……表示尊重”是固定搭配。故选A。
10．句意：俗话说：“入乡随俗。”
do做，动词原形；does做，动词第三人称单数；doing做，动名词。这是一句英语谚语，结构固定，后半句用动词原形do与前半句的When in Rome呼应。故选A。

The Dinner That Taught Me Manners
Part 1: Read and Explore
When I first arrived in Japan as an exchange student, I thought I was ready. I had studied Japanese for two years and read many books about the culture. But nothing prepared me for my first dinner with a Japanese family.
My host family took me to a traditional restaurant. The food looked amazing, and I was excited to try everything. But as soon as I picked up my chopsticks, things started to go wrong.
First, I stuck my chopsticks straight into my bowl of rice. The table went silent. My host sister looked at me with wide eyes. Later, I learned that sticking chopsticks into rice is what people do at funerals. It was very improper.
Then, I tried to pull a dish closer to me using my chopsticks. My host mother gently stopped my hand. "That's impolite," she whispered. "Please use your hands to move the dish."
During the meal, I was so confused by all the rules that I forgot to use the hot towel correctly. I wiped my face with it instead of my hands. I felt so embarrassed when I saw everyone staring at me.
The most surprising moment came when I pointed at a dish with my chopsticks and asked, "What's that " My host father laughed kindly and said, "In Japan, we don't point with chopsticks. It's considered rude."
By the end of the meal, I was exhausted. I had made so many mistakes. But instead of getting angry, my host family was patient. "You're learning," they said. "That's what matters."
That night, I wrote in my journal: "I was so embarrassed tonight. The rules were confusing, and I felt like I couldn't do anything right. But now I understand: different cultures have different rules, and it's okay to make mistakes as long as you keep trying."
The next day, my host sister taught me the proper way to use chopsticks. It was challenging at first, but with plenty of practice, I got better. By the end of my stay, I could use chopsticks correctly. More importantly, I learned that respecting another culture isn't about being perfect—it's about being willing to learn.

九、阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
In Thailand, people do not eat with chopsticks. This is different from China, Japan and Korea. They use spoons and forks. 1 People will cut most food before meals. If you need to cut food during meals, use the side of your spoon first and then use your fork.
2 People in Thailand use spoons more often than forks. If you are left-handed, keep the spoon in your left hand and the fork in your right hand.
People in Thailand like eating rice. The rice is not on the same plate with the other food. Each person eats rice on his own plate. It’s not necessary to finish all your rice or all your food. 3 If you eat up all the food on your plate, it means you want more.
4 Because the host will ask you two or three times if you want more food. It’s the same with drinks. During the meal, never empty (清空) your cup or glass. When it’s less than half full, your host or neighbour will fill it again. 5 It’s polite to fill the glass for your neighbour. That means you must keep an eye on your neighbour’s glass during the meal.
A．They never use knives.
B．Never fill your own glass.
C．It is good to leave a little on your plate.
D．The spoon is more important than the fork.
E．You don’t need to worry if your food on the plate is not enough (足够的).

Last year, I went to England with my parents. I was very excited because it was my first time going abroad. Before we left, my mom told me that people in England are very polite and pay much attention to table manners. I didn’t take it seriously and thought it was not a big deal.
One day, we went to a restaurant for dinner. I started eating as soon as the food was served, but my dad stopped me. He said that in England, people usually wait for everyone to get their food before eating. I felt a little embarrassed and stopped eating. A waiter passed by and smiled at me kindly. He told me that it’s common to follow table manners in England, and no one would laugh at me for making a mistake.
After dinner, we met a local boy named Tom. He was friendly and showed us around his neighborhood. He told us that different countries have different customs, and it’s important to respect them. I felt sorry for not following table manners and decided to learn more about foreign cultures. From then on, I paid more attention to cultural differences and tried to understand them. This experience taught me that cross-cultural respect is the key to getting along with people from different countries. We should always keep an open mind and learn from each other’s cultures.

The Dinner That Taught Me Manners
Part 1: Read and Explore
When I first arrived in Japan as an exchange student, I thought I was ready. I had studied Japanese for two years and read many books about the culture. But nothing prepared me for my first dinner with a Japanese family.
My host family took me to a traditional restaurant. The food looked amazing, and I was excited to try everything. But as soon as I picked up my chopsticks, things started to go wrong.
First, I stuck my chopsticks straight into my bowl of rice. The table went silent. My host sister looked at me with wide eyes. Later, I learned that sticking chopsticks into rice is what people do at funerals. It was very improper.
Then, I tried to pull a dish closer to me using my chopsticks. My host mother gently stopped my hand. "That's impolite," she whispered. "Please use your hands to move the dish."
During the meal, I was so confused by all the rules that I forgot to use the hot towel correctly. I wiped my face with it instead of my hands. I felt so embarrassed when I saw everyone staring at me.
The most surprising moment came when I pointed at a dish with my chopsticks and asked, "What's that " My host father laughed kindly and said, "In Japan, we don't point with chopsticks. It's considered rude."
By the end of the meal, I was exhausted. I had made so many mistakes. But instead of getting angry, my host family was patient. "You're learning," they said. "That's what matters."
That night, I wrote in my journal: "I was so embarrassed tonight. The rules were confusing, and I felt like I couldn't do anything right. But now I understand: different cultures have different rules, and it's okay to make mistakes as long as you keep trying."
The next day, my host sister taught me the proper way to use chopsticks. It was challenging at first, but with plenty of practice, I got better. By the end of my stay, I could use chopsticks correctly. More importantly, I learned that respecting another culture isn't about being perfect—it's about being willing to learn.
