As I was leaving to meet Lynne, my roommate told me that I'd better take some money, but I didn't listen to him. I thought that Lynne would pay because she had invited me.
I arrived at the restaurant exactly on time. I'd been told that Americans expect you to be on time. Lynne and I sat at a table in the corner of the restaurant and a waitress came and took our order.
The dinner was a great success. I talked a lot about Saudi Arabia and Lynne told me all about herself. After two hours the waitress finally came and asked if we wanted one check or two. Lynne said two. We went to the cashier (出纳员) and Lynne paid her check (帐单) . I was embarrassed (窘迫的) when the cashier gave me my bill. I had no money to pay for my meal. Then I had an idea. I pretended to look for something in my pockets and said, “Oh! I forgot my money! Can I call my roommate, please?” The cashier showed me where the phone was and I quickly called my roommate.
In a few minutes he arrived with some money. But he couldn't hide how he felt. He laughed all the way home. Now, I think it's funny too, but at the time I was terribly embarrassed. I thought that an invitation to have dinner didn't mean the same thing in the United States as in my country. I guess you have to understand that your customs are only your customs. When you visit a foreign country, you have to learn about their customs, too.

(1) 考查对文章内容的理解能力。由文章可知作者是应Lynne的邀请去吃饭的。故C项“邀请Lynne吃饭”可排除。由后面的文章可看出美国人虽然说请吃饭，但仍是各付各的账单。故B项“ (作者的舍友告诉作者带些钱) 支付自己的账单”为正确选项。A项“为饭付钱”；D项中checks为复数，可知意为“付 (两份) 账单”，这与文章中Lynne付了自己的账单内容不符。故A、D两项可排除。 (2) 考查学生的推断理解能力。由全文内容：作者认为自己是被邀请的，不听舍友劝告不带钱去赴宴，结果没有钱付账，只得假装忘了带钱，打电话让舍友带钱来付账。可知舍友笑是因为作者离开时不听劝告，故D为正确答案。舍友来时，随即付了账，可知舍友不是笑他因没付账而窘迫，故A项排除。舍友不会笑作者打电话让他带钱，也不会因为作者没有把没带钱的真相告诉Lynne而发笑，故B、C可排除。 (3) 考查对细节内容的理解。由第三段The dinner was a great success.可知A项正确，包括了B、C两项的内容。 (4) 考查细节内容掌握。由第一段最后一句I thought that Lynne would pay because...“我想Lynne会付钱的，因为是她邀请我的”。可知B项正确。 (5) 考查概括分析能力。由全文可知B项“入乡随俗”正确。 |
