Question

【題目】 Different countries have different customs(習(xí)俗) in giving presents.

In China, you must never give a clock to a Chinese person, because the sound of the word “clock” is similar to the sound of “death” in Chinese. Moreover, don’t wrap(包裝) a present in white , black, or blue paper, because these are the colours for funerals(葬禮). Don’t give a knife, because something sharp can cut a friendship.

In Russia, if give flowers as a present, we have to give an odd number of them (one, three, five, etc.) because even numbers of flowers (two, four, six, etc.) are for funerals.

In Germany, flowers are good presents to take to your hostess, but don’t take her red roses because it means you are in love with her. Don’t take thirteen of anything, either. Don’t wrap your present in white, brown or black paper.

【解析】

本文主要講述了不同的國(guó)家有不同贈(zèng)送禮物的習(xí)俗。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“because the sound of the word “clock” is similar to the sound of “death” in Chinese.”可知，在漢語中，“鐘”與“死”同音，所以該項(xiàng)表述正確，故選T。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中“In Russia, if give flowers as a present, we have to give an odd number of them (one, three, five, etc.) because even numbers of flowers (two, four, six, etc.) are for funerals.”可知，去生日派對(duì)可以拿單數(shù)的花，所以該項(xiàng)表述正確，故選T。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“Don't take thirteen of anything, either.”可知，在德國(guó)13不是幸運(yùn)數(shù)字，所以該項(xiàng)表述錯(cuò)誤，故選F。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中“In Russia, if give flowers as a present, we have to give an odd number of them (one, three, five, etc.) because even numbers of flowers (two, four, six, etc.) are for funerals.”可知，odd number表示奇數(shù)，even numbers表示偶數(shù)，所以該項(xiàng)表述正確，故選T。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中“Moreover, don't wrap a present in white , black, or blue paper, because these are the colours for funerals”和“Don't wrap your present in white, brown or black paper.”可知，在中國(guó)和德國(guó)都不要用黑色和白色包裝禮物，所以該項(xiàng)表述錯(cuò)誤，故選F。
