Question

【題目】When you hear Westerners say “ Drop in anytime”（隨時來玩）or “Come and see me soon” , 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.

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.” If you are unable to come after accepting the invitation, be sure to tell those who invite you in advance（提前）that you will not be there.

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. Sometimes Westerners may take you out to dinner in a restaurant and it does not necessarily mean that he is going to pay the bill at the end of the meal. He might want you to “go Dutch”, which means each person pays his own bill.

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(biāo)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(xì)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(dāng)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(xì)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。
