Answer 1

小题1:D 小题2:A 小题3:E 小题4:B 小题5:C

试题分析：这篇短文中作者主要讲述了英国人的社交礼仪问题。文章通过2012年的伦敦奥运会标语引出本文话题：激励一代人。意在要求运动员和观看比赛的观众等群体都能遵循英国的习俗，体现良好的文化素质。 小题1:根据短文第二段his is because they hope to inspire athletes to do their best and common people to do better in their daily lives.可知D项中的描述The Games are also inspiring lots of tourists to come to London.正好与之相衔接，故选D。 小题2:根据短文第二段Otherwise, you’ll end up in a right mess!包括下文的介绍都是如何遵循伦敦的礼节的内容，这句应该是向大家提供一些如何在英国表现的小技巧；故选A。 小题3:根据短文第三段Don’t talk about money:，本部分内容重点强调了在英国不要谈论钱的问题，因为英国人讨厌这个话题而且谈论这个话题呗认为是不礼貌的，所以E项说永远不要问别人的薪水，故选E。 小题4:根据短文第四段中The traditional view of the British sitting down for an afternoon tea is wrong. 既然传统的观点是错误的，那么自然很少有人再遵循这个传统，故选B。 小题5:根据短文第六段The British are not like Frenchmen. When Frenchmen meet each other, they often give a kiss. 这两句话表明，英国人不像法国人那样以亲吻来进行问候，所以本要点谈论的是亲吻问候的问题禁忌；故选C。
