【题目】Several times each year the Queen gives afternoon tea parties at which guests are served tiny cakes filled with cream from her own cows. Cakes and sandwiches are bought in by footmen, yet you never see the Queen touch a thing. She simply sits beside a big silver plate, pouring cups of tea for everyone and carefully avoiding the cakes.
At cocktail parties the Queen moves from group to group, chatting informally, and manages to make one glass of diet drink to last a whole evening. Tours abroad are difficult because hosts seem to believe the warmth of their welcome must be shown with wonderful state banquets(宴). But the Queen has perfected the art of appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much. During one visit to the Pacific islands of Tonga, a specially-prepared dinner was set up in a hut made of wood and bamboo leaves. Deep holes were dug in the ground, filled with hot stones and baby pigs, and the pigs were slowly cooked with dry heat over several days. The Queen looked uneasily at her plate when she discovered a whole roast(烤) pig was her serving.
Then she became uneasy when a turkey, some meat, bananas and an apple were also carried in for each guest. So she depended on her old favourite trick of talking with her host, King Tupou IV, carrying on a warm conversation. At the same time she pushed her food around her plate and only ate a piece of turkey and some fruit.
Reporters traveling with her have noticed that the Queen will sometimes seem so interested in a foreign leader’s political(政治的) chat that she simply never has time to finish a meal before it is time to get up and make her speech. She will lift her fork, then put it down again to make another point, leaving almost all of her meal untouched.
【1】The Queen talked with her host and carried on conversation with him. The purpose of doing this is ________.
A. to show her politeness
B. not to eat much
C. to show her great interest in food
D. to hide her dislike to the food
【2】We can infer(推断) from the passage that tours are difficult for the Queen, because ________.
A. she has to meet with so many important leaders
B. she has to eat much oily food
C. hosts always give wonderful state banquets
D. she has so many reporters to travel with her
【3】What probably is the Queen’s art of acting at state dinners?
A. Appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.
B. Drinking much water.
C. Eating a piece of turkey and some fruit.
D. Eating much without being noticed.
【答案】
【1】B
【2】C
【3】A
【解析】
试题分析：短文大意：每年女王都有几次下午茶聚会，但你永远不会看到女王碰任何东西。她只是坐在一个大盘子旁边，倒茶给大家的杯子，并小心地避开蛋糕。
【1】B细节理解题。根据第三段中“uneasy”、“old favorite trick of talking with her host”、“pushed her food around her plate and only ate a piece of turkey and some fruit”可知女王和她的主人进行交谈目的是不要吃得太多，所以选B。
【2】C细节理解题。根据第二段中Tours abroad are difficult because hosts seem to believe the warmth of their welcome must be shown with wonderful state banquets(宴).可知出国旅游是很困难的因为主人似乎相信必须用精美的国宴表示对他们的热情欢迎。所以选C。
【3】A细节理解题。根据第二段中But the Queen has perfected the art of appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.可知女王已经完善了似乎很喜欢吃她做的饭菜而不多吃的艺术。所以选A。
