【題目】閱讀理解
(B)
For the British, the home is private place in which he or she goes to hide away from the troubles of life. It is very seldom that one would be invited to a British person's home. It is rude to knock on a person's door if you are not invited. If you are invited, don't ask to see more than the downstairs that your British host invites you into. Never ask how much the house or any of the items in if cost.
To the American, most of them want their home to be a place where they can entertain (款待) and share their lives with their friends. They may be delighted to give you a full tour of their houses. They may also be pleased when you show your interest and pleasure in their houses.
Both British and American people will engage in quite a bit of chat and a drink or two before the meal is served. After the first mouthful, you should say how delicious the food is and ask something about it. Remember, never eat with your mouth open and make very little noise while eating. It would be nice of you to help your host in any way. Maybe offer to pour some drinks or clear up after the meal.

【解析】本文介紹了英國(guó)人和美國(guó)人在風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣方面的差異。
（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第一段的第二句“It is very seldom that one would be invited to a British person's home.”可知英國(guó)人很少邀請(qǐng)別人去他們家了做客，因此C正確。
（2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第一段的倒數(shù)第二句“If you are invited, don't ask to see more than the downstairs that your British host invites you into.”可知不要要求看你的英國(guó)主人邀請(qǐng)你進(jìn)去的樓下以外的其他地方。所以選D。
（3）細(xì)節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第二段的最后一句“They may also be pleased when you show your interest and pleasure in their houses.”可知當(dāng)你表示對(duì)他們的房子感興趣時(shí)他們會(huì)很高興，pleased=happy高興的，愉快的，故選B。
（4）詞義猜測(cè)。 根據(jù)句意可知在吃飯之前，英美的人們都會(huì)交談或者喝點(diǎn)東西。所以engage in是參與的意思，故選B。
（5）主旨理解題 本文介紹了拜訪英國(guó)或者美國(guó)朋友需要注意的問題。所以A。
