Question

5．Sit up straight．Say please and thank you．Don't put your elbows on the table．Most of us were drilled from an early age in proper manners and etiquette．But manners and etiquette （33）canvary widely in different cultures．
Take table manners for example．In many parts of the world，it's considered rude to make noises when eating．The Japanese，however，think it customary to make some slurping（嘖嘖的） noises while eating noodles．They say the noodles taste better．A person who eats noodles （34）withoutmaking any sound could seem strange in Japan．
Another interesting cultural difference is portrayed in a TV advertisement （35）set（set） in an Asian city．It shows an Asian family inviting a westerner to dinner．The Asians prepare a lot of food to show the guest （36）theyare hospitable（殷勤好客的）．Westerners are taught to"clean their plates"and think it's impolite to leave food in the dishes．So the guest tries to finish his meal without leaving （37）anythingon his dishes．However，an Asian host sees an empty dish as a sign （38）thatthe guest wants more food．In the ad，the host immediately prepares more food for the guest，who tries to finish his food again just to show his manners．It becomes a circle of misunderstanding．
Differences are also seen in other aspects．While extending a hand to shake the hand of a person you're meeting with （39）seems（seem） to most of us a universal way of showing friendliness，an Orthodox Jew （東正猶太教徒） will not shake hands with someone of the opposite sex．Similarly，a strict Muslim woman will not shake hands with a man，though a Muslim man will shake hands with a non-Muslim woman．People in these cultures generally avoid （40）touching（touch） people of the opposite sex who are not family members．

Answer 1

分析 本文通過舉例告訴人們禮貌和禮儀在不同的文化中可能有很大的不同．

解答 33．can 考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞．根據(jù)句意：但是禮貌和禮儀在不同的文化中可能有很大的不同．can是情態(tài)動(dòng)詞表示"可能性"．
34．without 考查介詞．根據(jù)句意：一個(gè)人在吃面條的時(shí)候沒有聲音好像很奇怪．without是介詞"沒有"后跟動(dòng)名詞making．
35．set考查名詞．根據(jù)句意：另一個(gè)有趣的文化差異是描繪在亞洲城市的電視廣告集．set是名詞"集合，一套"．
36．they 考查代詞．分析句子可知此處缺少的是一個(gè)句子的主語，向顧客展示出他們是殷勤好客的．所以用主格代詞they．
37．a(chǎn)nything 考查不定代詞．因此客人盡量吃完食物盤子里不留下任何東西．a(chǎn)nything是代詞"任何的東西"．
38．that 考查同位語從句．本句中that the guest wants more food從句是對(duì)名詞sign內(nèi)容的解釋和說明，是sign的同位語從句．用that引導(dǎo)，that在句中不做任何成分．
39．seems 考查主謂一致．分析句子可知本句的主語是動(dòng)名詞extending a hand to shake the hand of a person，you're meeting with 是個(gè)定語從句修飾person，動(dòng)名詞做主語謂語動(dòng)詞要用第三人稱單數(shù)形式．
40．touching 考查非謂語．動(dòng)詞avoid后跟動(dòng)名詞做賓語，構(gòu)成avoid doing結(jié)構(gòu)，所以動(dòng)詞touch 要加ing．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 語法填空是通過語篇在語境中考查語法知識(shí)的運(yùn)用能力，在解題前應(yīng)快速瀏覽短文掌握大意，在讀懂短文的基礎(chǔ)上，結(jié)合短文提供的特定的語言環(huán)境去逐句分析．要解決好語法填空，離不開堅(jiān)實(shí)的語法知識(shí)，有了堅(jiān)實(shí)的語法知識(shí)才能對(duì)語言進(jìn)行正確的分析和判斷，從而答對(duì)題目．
