Question

【题目】

(2015·长沙中考)China is a nation of etiquette (礼仪)．Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world.If foreigners visit a Chinese family，they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests.

When you visit a Chinese family，the host usually makes tea for you.Then he will serve you snacks (小吃)like biscuits or candy.Someone in the family will also chat with you，never letting you feel lonely.

At the same time，other family members will prepare a meal for you.Chinese people treat(款待) their guests with a big meal.They always present more food than the guest can eat.On the table，the guests must be the first to eat.Perhaps one of the things that surprises a western guest most is that the Chinese host likes to pick food for visitors，which won't happen at western tables.The Chinese family go out of their way to make you feel at home.As you are done eating，the host usually says，“It seems that you didn't eat much.Please have more.”Although you tell them you are full，they still put more food in your bowl.

Being warm and hospitable has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition.As Confucius (孔子) said thousands of years ago：

To meet friends from afar

【解析】

试题这篇短文讲述的是中国是一个礼仪之邦，他们对待自己的客人非常的热情。短文中给我们介绍了中国的家庭是如何接待客人的，从课文的介绍中可知，中国是一个热情好客的国家，他们想让自己的客人在家里呆得舒服，就像是在自己家里一样。

【1】A词义猜测题。先确定这个单词所在的句子“Chinese people are among the mosthospitablepeople in the world.” 然后第二步就是根据这个词汇的上下句进行推测。我们从文章的第一句话“China is a nation of etiquette”（中国是一个礼仪之邦）和“If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests.”（如果外国人到中国人家里去做客，他们会对中国人的热情感到吃惊）。从关键词“warmth”; “as guests”可以推测hospitable是好客的意思，故选A。

【2】C 细节理解题。根据短文第二段中When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks(小吃) like biscuits or candy可知，当你去中国的家庭里做客的时候，主人经常会给你喝一些茶，吃一些小吃。由此可知选C。

【3】C 细节理解题。根据短文第三段中Perhaps one of the things that surprises a western guest most is that the Chinese host likes to pick food for visitors, which won’t happen at western tables可知，西方人觉得中国的主人喜欢给客人夹食物，这让他们感到很奇怪，因为在西方国家里，他们通常不会这样做。由此可知选C。

【4】A 细节理解题。短文的开头就告诉我们，中国是一个礼仪之帮，再根据The Chinese family go out of their way to make you feel at home.可知，中国家庭所做的就是使客人就像在自己家里一样随便，故应选A。

【5】B细节理解题。根据全文的大意可知，这篇文章写的是中国作为一个礼仪之邦，是如何热情好客的。而且从最后一句中的“To meet friends from after How happy we are!”中的friend是解题的关键词，结合我们学过的语文知识可知选B。.
