In Saudi Arabia, you should not bring food to someone39。s house because taking food or drink suggests that you think the host cannot afford the meal. More and more people around the world are travelling abroad to study, to go on vacation, or to work, and while it can be a great way to learn about other cultures, there may be times when travelers accidentally annoy their host. The same gesture can have very different meanings in different countries. The gesture meaning OK in the United States means something pletely different in Brazil as Ella Yao discovered. Ella had travelled to Brazil to study and was living with a host family. During dinner, her host asked Ella if she was enjoying the meal. Because her mouth was full of food, Ella made a sign with her hand that to her meant OK. Although Ella meant the food was good, this symbol in Brazilian culture is extremely rude and her host was deeply annoyed. While travelling in Thailand, Elizabeth Brown learned that there are differences in food in the United States and Thailand. She stopped at a small, familyowned restaurant in Chiang Mai and ordered spring rolls. She was really enjoying eating them until she got the last one and noticed that there was an insect inside. She plained to the server. Later, she discovered that although insects are disgusting to most Americans, they are considered a delicacy(佳肴) in some countries. All these mistakes can be avoided with some research on cultural differences before you go abroad. However, if you do accidentally annoy someone, quickly apologize, and learn from your mistake.（1）For what reason did Ella make her host angry?A.She spoke with her mouth full.B.Her host misunderstood her gesture.C.She didn39。t like the meal her host prepared.D.Her host didn39。t like using body language.（2）What happened to Elizabeth Brown in a Thai restaurant?A.She ate an insect.B.She was badly treated.C.She argued with the server.D.She learned insects are wele there.（3）What may be the best title for the text?A.What mattersB.When in RomeC.How to be politeD.Why make mistakes【答案】 （1）B（2）D（3）B 【解析】【分析】這是一篇關(guān)于風俗文化的文章。文章介紹了在韓國穿著鞋子在家里是不禮貌的和OK這個手勢在美國和巴西的不同以及泰國的飲食文化，告訴我們?yōu)榱吮苊庹`會一定要學(xué)會你所想去國家的文化即入鄉(xiāng)隨俗，如果我們不小心觸碰到了他們的文化要立刻道歉并改正。（1）細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中Because her mouth was full of food, Ella made a sign with her hand that to her meant OK. Although Ella meant the food was good, this symbol in Brazilian culture is extremely rude and her host was deeply ，她因為嘴里有東西故用手勢表示OK，但這個手勢在主人所在國家是非常粗魯?shù)囊馑?，所以主人生氣是因為誤會了她，故選B。（2）細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段Later, she discovered that although insects are disgusting to most Americans, they are considered a delicacy(佳肴) in some ，昆蟲在一些國家也是佳肴，故選D。注意A項錯誤，文章是說She was really enjoying eating them until she got the last one and noticed that there was an insect ，并沒有提到她吃了昆蟲。（3）主旨大意題。本文講了不同國家有不同的風俗，并告訴我們要入鄉(xiāng)隨俗，故B項“When in Rome,Do as the Romans Do”即入鄉(xiāng)隨俗，適合作文章題目。5．閱讀理解 In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War. It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交響樂團). It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly. At the same time, the Fringe appeared as a challenge(挑戰(zhàn)) to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years. Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh. Today the Fringe, once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big. A paid administrator(行政人員) was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than million tickets were sold.（1）What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning? bring Europe together again. honor heroes of World War II. introduce young theatre groups. attract great artists from Europe.（2）Why did some uninvited theatre groups e to Edinburgh in 1947? owned a public house there. came to take up a challenge. thought they were also famous. wanted to take part in the festival.（3）What does the Fringe mean in the third paragraph?
