Question

 

In England, recently three foreign 1. came to a bus stop and waited. About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked2. . No one had told them about the British customs of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is3. person to get on the bus.

Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the 4. and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is 5. to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means 6. . Nodding your head when you 7. a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty.

In that country, you shake your head to mean "yes"-a nod means "no". At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as 8. as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough, you should take the cups or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.

In Europe, it is quite usual to 9. your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble. Also , you should try to avoid(避免) touching the head of 10. adult---it's just not done in Thailand.

【解析】

試題分析： 本文介紹的是在國外的一些習俗，如果你去一個國家旅行或參觀，只學習他的語言是不夠的，你還要更多的了解他的風俗習慣，同樣一個動作在同一個國家的不同地區(qū)都有可能是不一樣的意義。

1.

2. sea，意為：茫然，感到困惑，可知此處填embarrassed，意為：尷尬的，窘迫的；句意：這三位外國人看起來都很茫然。故填embarrassed。

3. first person可知此處也填the first person，句意：第一個到達車站的人就是第一個上車的人。序數(shù)詞前要用the，故填the first。

4.

5. supposed to意為：被認為，故填supposed。

6.

7. be+動詞的過去分詞構(gòu)成被動語態(tài)，故填are given。

8. quickly as意為：很快地，句意：當你的杯子空了，會迅速的被反復(fù)加滿。故填quickly。

9. your legs意為“交叉腿，盤腿”，句意：在歐洲，當你坐下來跟別人交談或者在重要會議上，盤腿是十分常見的行為。故填cross。

10.

考點：選詞填空。
