Question

初二一篇英语阅读理解

Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be upset if your English friends don’t invite you home. It doesn’t mean they don’t like you!
Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m. and about 11. Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It’s polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.
Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks. Do you want to be extra polite? Say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember it’s not polite to ask how much things cost.
In many families, the husband sits at the end of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests.
You’ll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you’ll have meat of fish with vegetables, and then dessert, followed by coffee. It’s possible to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it.
Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short “thank you ” letter. British and American people like to say “thank you, thank you, thank you” all the time.

Answer 1

一些英美人乐于邀请朋友到自己家中共进晚餐。如果你的英国朋友不邀请你去他家做客你也不必感到难过。这并不意味着他不喜欢你！
通常的晚宴是从晚上7，8点钟到大约11点，事先应该跟东道主打听好什么时间赴约，带上鲜花，巧克力，或一瓶红酒作为礼物是很礼貌的。
通常聚会以喝东西和吃零食开始。想显得更加有礼么？那就提及你多么欣赏这房间，或者称赞墙上的画。但务必记住，打听这些东西的价钱是很不礼貌的。
在大部分家庭中，男主人坐在餐桌的一端，女主人坐在另一端。他们与客人共享饕餮。
你可能是以喝汤或吃小食开始用餐，接下来是大鱼大肉和蔬菜，随后是餐后甜点，最后喝杯咖啡。吃光盘中菜和自己添菜并不失礼。
渡过了一个愉快的夜晚么？那么就在次日回请昨夜的东道主吧，或者写封致谢简信给他们。英美人总是喜欢说“感谢，感谢，再感谢”。
1 晚宴通常要持续多久？
A7或8小时 B11小时 C3或4小时 D不一定
2 如果你想做一个彬彬有礼的客人，你不该：
A在适当的时候到场 B给主人带些礼物（dome是圆柱形此处应该是some吧）
C称赞主人的房间 D向主人打听家具价格
3 我们从文中可以了解到：
A 通常宴会开始是有酒水的
B 最后一道菜通常是汤
C 甜点通常在主菜之前上桌
D 最后一道菜常常是冰淇淋

答案：CDA

补充：楼上俩位请不要误人子弟，第二问问的是怎么做不礼貌，难道C是不礼貌的么？文中所说打听价格是不礼貌的，而忽悠主人是礼貌的。第三问，最后是一杯咖啡，冰淇淋一般都在饭后甜点里，绝不是最后，所以不可能选D。
