Question

【解析】試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了西方人的邀請文化。在西方如果主人邀請你隨時來玩也要在拜訪前打電話通知，在面對邀請時，確定能參加的就可以答應(yīng)，如果沒有計劃去，就要委婉的拒絕。在去參加聚會時最好帶個小禮物，如果到餐館吃飯那可不意味著邀請者會付錢，他們可能想AA制。

【1】C標題歸納題。根據(jù)短文的主要內(nèi)容是圍繞西方的邀請文化介紹的故選C。

【2】B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段you should realize that it doesn’t mean you are welcome to come over to their house anytime. It’s wise to telephone before visiting someone.描述，可知當人們說隨時來玩時，你應(yīng)該知道那不意味著你能隨時拜訪他們的家，在拜訪之前最好打電話。故選B。

【3】A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段Never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, “Thank you for inviting me, but I may not be able to come描述，除非你真的計劃去否則不要接受邀請。你可以通過說謝謝邀請，但是我可能不能來表示拒絕。故選A。

【4】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段When you have accepted the invitation to a party or a dinner, it is polite to bring small gifts with you, such as bottles of drink, flowers and chocolate.描述及選項的對比，故選D。

【5】C詞義猜測題。根據(jù)后面的非限制性定語從句which means each person pays his own bill.，那意味著各人付自己的賬單，故選C。
