【解析】

本文介紹了當(dāng)一個人被邀請去中國家庭拜訪朋友時，如何準(zhǔn)備禮物。在吃飯時，中國餐桌上以及離開時的一些禮儀。

【1】句意：在問候之后，禮物應(yīng)該馬上遞給主人。

本句中主語the gift與謂語pass之間的關(guān)系是被動關(guān)系，位于情態(tài)動詞should后，用be+done，故填be passed。

【2】句意：記住，中國人通常不會在送禮人面前打開禮物。

本句中Chinese people是復(fù)數(shù)，時態(tài)為一般現(xiàn)在時，情態(tài)動詞will表示一種意愿，意為“將要，將會”，此句為否定句，使用will not，后接動詞原形。故填will not open。

【3】句意：為了表示尊重，可能有必要解釋一下禮物是什么。

本句中有固定句型It may be necessary to do sth做某事可能是有必要的，可知此處需要填動詞不定式，故填to explain。

【4】句意：主人通常做充分的準(zhǔn)備，小心地打掃房間，做許多美味的菜肴。

make full preparation表示做好充分的準(zhǔn)備，preparation可數(shù)名詞，前面沒有表示單數(shù)的詞，故此處填寫復(fù)數(shù)，故填preparations。

【5】句意：雖然飯菜準(zhǔn)備得很好，但主人可能會禮貌地對客人說：“我準(zhǔn)備的不夠，請原諒我招待不周�！�

此處需要填寫副詞修飾say動詞，polite是形容詞，副詞形式為politely。故填politely。

【6】句意：作為客人，你應(yīng)該通過贊美食物讓主人相信有很多東西可以吃。

本句中有make使役動詞，常用結(jié)構(gòu)為make sb do sth使得某人做某事，需要填動詞原形。故填believe。

【7】句意：吃的時候，作為傳統(tǒng)，長輩們會用筷子為客人夾起食物，并要求他們多吃點。

此處前有不定冠詞a修飾，后需要填可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)。traditional為形容詞，名詞形式為tradition。故填tradition。

【8】句意：但是現(xiàn)在，年輕人做傳統(tǒng)的方式少了。

根據(jù)句意可知，此處是在對年輕人和老年人接待客人的方式做比較，所以要用比較級。little的比較級為less。故填less。

【9】句意：他們不必認(rèn)真對待這件事情，他們可以試著找個合適的時間離開。

根據(jù)句意，此處需要填寫修飾動詞take的副詞，serious的副詞形式為seriously。 故填seriously。

【10】句意：這并不意味著提前離開總是一個好主意，因為主人可能會覺得客人對款待不滿意。

此處作為賓語從句的主語，需要填寫名詞或者動名詞，故填leaving。
