2.细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句（如果你计划去墨西哥庆祝这个著名的庆典，建议你在确定日期之前就预定好食宿，因为食宿费在节日期间会暴涨）可知如果要去Mazatlan庆祝狂欢节需要提前预订食宿。C项：提前预定住宿符合以上说法，故选C项。
3.词意猜测题。句意：事实上，各行各业的热都会来庆祝这个节日。它已经成为天主教和非天主教人生活方式的一部分。结合句意，尤其是both for Catholics or non-Catholics，可推测划线部分的意思是：来自各个领域的人。D项（在不同职业工作的人）符合句意，故选D项。

B
My first week in the United States was a cultural shock. Everything felt new to me, including the style of conversation, the community I lived in and even the type of food people ate.
In our community back home, people eat mutton and chicken. Pork and beef are also common among other communities, but eating beef is taken as an illegal act. Unlike Nepal, eating beef is common in the West where most of the people follow religions other than Hinduism.
Food is just an example. When people move from one part of the world to another, they should adapt(适应) themselves to the new culture. For example, going to the bars or getting drunk is not acceptable in my community, but it is common in the US after a certain age.
I was raised in a traditional Hindu family in Nepal. We have a conservative(保守的) opinion towards marriage. Arranged marriages(包办婚姻) are common in which families decide whether the two should get married. Free love marriages are not allowed and are seldom seen. Same-sex marriage is also considered impossible.
To me, culture is a matter of habit. The culture is so deep-rooted in people’s minds that most people are against changes. It is always easy for them to do what they have been doing throughout their life. It may be difficult for anyone to adapt to a new culture.
However, with travel being an unavoidable thing for modern people, one always comes across different cultures. In such cases, one should be respectful and adaptive to the culture other people follow. The world is always a better place to live in when we have spaces for people of all cultures.
5. What does the Nepal law forbid people to eat?
A. Pork. B. Beef. C. Chicken. D. Mutton.
6. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Most westerners believe in Hinduism.
B. Getting drunk in Nepal is acceptable.
C. Anyone can enter the bars in the US.
D. The writer came across a cultural shock.
7. Which may be seen most in Nepal?
A. Open marriages. B. Free love marriages.
C. Same-sex marriage. D. Arranged marriages.
8. What is the writer’s attitude to different cultures?
A. Negative. B. Respectful. C. Conservative. D. Indifferent.
【答案】5-8 BDDB
【解析】这是一篇议论文。作者谈论了美国文化给自己带来的冲击，指出在当今世界，人们应该尊重和适应他人的文化。
5.细节理解题。根据第二段...eating beef is taken as an illegal act可知，选B。
6.主旨大意题。通过作者的例证可知，无论在饮食禁忌方面，还是结婚风俗方面，文化存在不同的差异，这些文化的冲击让作者感触颇深。选D。
7.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Arranged marriages are common in which families decide whether the two should get married.”可知，听从父母之命的包办婚姻是尼泊尔非常常见的。故选D。
8.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段可知，对于现代人来说，旅行不可避免，人们总是会遇到身处不同文化的人。在这种情况下，人们应该尊重和适应他人的文化。因此，对于不同的文化，作者持尊重的态度。故选B。

二、七选五（每小题2分，共10分）
Table Manners
We all like to think we have good table manners, but what you consider proper table manners may actually be considered rude in another country! Let’s explore some strange table manners around the world.
Most people believe that it is bad manners to slurp(出声地吃或喝) or hold your soup bowl up to your mouth. 9 Slurping in Japan is an indication that the food is good. Therefore, in Japan, slurping is considered polite.
10 In some cultures, finishing all the food on your plate is a sign that your host did not provide you with enough food. Filipinos, Koreans and Thais will all think like this. In many cases your host will continue to serve you each time you clear your plate. For Japanese people, however, finishing all the food on one’s plate is a sign to the host that the meal is delicious and that you appreciate the meal.
11 This is a belief in many Asian countries, including Thailand, Japan and China. It’s considered taboo(禁忌) because during funerals(丧礼), bowls of rice with chopsticks sticking in them areoffered to the dead
Don’t cut your salad with a knife in France. Proper etiquette(礼节) in France when eating a salad to fold the salad leaves onto your fork if they are too big to put in your mouth. You should never cut your salad with a knife. 12
Pay attention to forks. Have you ever been to a fancy western restaurant, not sure which fork to use?
13 In Thai culture the proper way to enjoy Thai food is with a spoon in your right hand and a fork in your left. Some countries don’t even use forks but rather eat with their hands, like India, Nepal and Pakistan.
A. That isn’t true in Japan.
B. It’s the one furthest from your plate.
C. You must finish the food on your plate.
D. Should you finish all the food on your plate?
E. You may use your fork to eat something like fruit.
F. Never leave your chopsticks sticking in a bowl of rice.
G. This rule is taught to many French children from an early age.
【答案】9-13 ADFGB
【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了世界各地的一些奇怪的餐桌礼仪。
9.空前一句Most people believe that it is bad manners to slurp or hold your soup bowl up to your mouth说的是很多人认为出声喝汤是坏习惯，空后Slurping in Japan is an indication that the food is good. Therefore, in Japan, slurping is considered polite.说的是在日本出声喝汤是在表示食物的味道好。因此，在日本这样做是礼貌的行为。A项可以承上启下，说明日本的情况与前面所说国家的情况不同。故选A。
10.第三段说的是在有些国家，吃光盘子里的食物意味着没吃饱，而在另一些国家这样做则表示你用餐完毕，并且对食物很满意。故本段主要讨论的是是否要吃光自己盘子里的食物。故选D。
11.由下文This is a belief in many Asian countries, including Thailand, Japan and China.可知在很多亚洲国家自己用的筷子插在米饭上是一种禁忌。所以F项：Never leave your chopsticks sticking in a bowl of rice（永远不要把筷子插在米饭里）符合语境。故选F。
12.根据上文You should never cut your salad with a knife（你不应该用刀切沙拉）可知主要说的是在法国不要用刀子切沙拉。G选项中的This rule指不用刀切沙拉这条规则。即很多法国的孩子很小就学了这个礼仪。故选G。
13.上一句Have you ever been to a fancy western restaurant, not sure which fork to use?（你是否有过去一家高档的西餐厅用餐却不知道该用哪把叉子的经历？）可知是在询问是不是不知道用哪个叉子，故下文应当回答用哪个叉子。所以B项符合语境。

【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章向我们介绍了有关筷子的历史和文化。
34.考查一般过去时被动语态。句意：他们在中国古代被称为“箸”。主语和谓语之间是被动关系，又因为本句讲述的是过去的事情，故填were called。
35.考查非限制性定语从句。句意：木筷或竹筷是中国家庭使用最普遍的筷子，比象牙筷要早1000年左右。根据句子结构可知，该空是非限制性定语从句的关系词，关系词在定语从句中作主语，指物，故填which。
36.考查副词比较级。句意：木筷或竹筷是中国家庭使用最普遍的筷子，比象牙筷要早1000年左右。根据本句中的than，此空填形容词的比较级，故填earlier。
37.考查不定式。句意：使用筷子时有几件事要避免。to avoid是后置定语，修饰a few things。故填to avoid。
38.考查现在分词。句意：吃饭时不要敲碗，因为这种行为过去是乞丐常做的。eat和主句主语people在逻辑上存在主动关系，故填eating。
39.考查形式主语。句意：在中国，每个人都用自己的筷子从桌上的盘子里取食物是很常见的。It is common for sb. to do sth.句型，此空为句首，故填It。
40.考查名词单复数。句意：在中国，每个人都用自己的筷子从桌上的盘子里取食物是很常见的。餐桌上的菜肴不止一种，故此空填复数形式dishes。
41.考查一般现在时或一般将来时。句意：如果您想的话，我们也会提供筷子。主语和谓语之间是被动关系，且该动作可以是通常性的动作，也可以是将来某一时间的动作。If引导的条件状语从句，主句将来时，从句一般现在时。故填is/will be。
42.考查副词做状语。句意：另外，不要因为不会用筷子而感到尴尬。副词修饰动词，故填poorly。
43.考查介词。句意：在中国文化中，食物是非常重要的，而中国人非常务实，无论你用什么方法吃饭，你周围的人都不会介意。be of great importance =be important，意为重要的，故填介词of。
