Question

【題目】

Welcome to our charming city, Ningbo and you will surely have a great time here. Probably you will come across some culture differences, especially the table manners. While having meals, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of a knife and fork, but that's only superficial（表面的）一Besides, in the more upscale（高級的）restaurants, you can always ask for a knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks unavailable. The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you're in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of as many different types of dishes as possible.

The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to be followed by staple food (主食) ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so beforehand提前）,as most of the Chinese prefer to have the staple food at the end of the meal or have none of at all.

Perhaps one of the things that surprises Western visitors most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food onto the plates of their guests. At formal dinners, there are always "serving" chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This should be taken as a sign of true friendship and politeness.

It is always poise to eat the food. If you do not want to eat it, just leave the food on the plate.

People in China tend to over-order food, as it is embarrassing to the host if all the food is finished.

When you have had enough, just say no. Or you will find yourself always overeating!

這篇短文是寫給外國游客的，來寧波旅行的時候，他們會發(fā)現(xiàn)中國文化和西方文化有很多不同，尤其是餐桌禮儀。文章中介紹了在中國餐桌上的一些具體做法和習(xí)俗。

【1】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文意以及短文第一段 “Probably you will come across some culture differences, especially the table manners.”可知，短文中主要介紹的是中國的餐桌禮儀。故選A。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段 “The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to be followed by staple food (主食) ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings.”可知，在中國的餐桌上，先上涼菜，然后是熱的肉菜或素菜，接下來是湯和主食。故選C。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段 “Perhaps one of the things that surprises Western visitors most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food onto the plates of their guests.”可知，最讓西方人感到吃驚的是中國的主人喜歡把食物放在客人的盤子里。故選D。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文開頭 “Welcome to our charming city, Ningbo and you will surely have a great time here. Probably you will come across some culture differences, especially the table manners.”，這里提到“歡迎來寧波，也許你會遇到一些文化差異，尤其是餐桌禮儀”，由此可知，文章是寫給西方游客的。故選C。

這是一篇說明文，短文介紹了中國的餐桌禮儀。文章主題明確，內(nèi)容貼近學(xué)生們的日常生活，比較容易理解。題型是閱讀理解，考查學(xué)生們閱讀短文獲取中心大意以及細節(jié)信息、進行合理的推測判斷以及猜測生詞意思的能力。這個題目中設(shè)置了細節(jié)理解、推理判斷和主旨大意三種題型。細節(jié)題往往較簡單，答案�？梢栽谖恼轮姓业健Ｈ绲�2小題和第3小題，先根據(jù)題目所問，鎖定相關(guān)段落或語句，進行細讀，結(jié)合選項作答。推理題要求學(xué)生們推測原文沒有直接告訴我們的信息，如第4小題，題干意為“這篇文章可能是寫給……”，做題時應(yīng)抓住文章的中心大意，從文章開頭“Welcome to our charming city, Ningbo and you will surely have a great time here. Probably you will come across some culture differences, especially the table manners.”可以獲得解題的信息。
