分析 本文主要向我們介紹了不同的國家有不同的習(xí)俗,當(dāng)你在不同的國家時,你應(yīng)該遵守他們的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣.下文具體介紹了六個國家的習(xí)俗:中國,美國,英國,西班牙,沙特阿拉伯,日本.
解答 61 C 細節(jié)理解題.文中提到China,the United States,England,Spain,Saudi Arabia,Japan一共六個國家.故選C.
62 A 詞義猜測題.根據(jù)第三段It is usual to tip waiters,taxi drivers and porters who help carry your bags.給服務(wù)員、出租車司機和幫你搬袋子的porter小費是通常的事情.可以推測出是幫著搬東西的搬運工.故選A.
63 B 推理判斷題.由第三段的"Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal.Taxi drivers expect about the same amount."可知,美國服務(wù)員和出租車司機者的小費是你花費的15%.(200+320)×15%=78,故答案是B.
64 C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第二段的"And you′re not supposed to start eating first if there are older people at thetable."而且如果桌上有老人,你不得先開始吃.可知答案C是正確的.故選C.其余三項均不符合文章的意思.
65 D 主旨推斷題.根據(jù)第一段Different countries have different customs.When you are in different countries,you should follow their customs.不同的國家有不同的習(xí)俗,當(dāng)你在不同的國家時,你應(yīng)該遵守他們的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣.下文具體介紹了六個國家的習(xí)俗:中國,美國,英國,西班牙,沙特阿拉伯,日本.故答案是D.
