Question

【题目】阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

I had always found 【1】 interesting to talk to foreigners and learn about the cultural differences between countries. Last Saturday, I 【2】 (meet) a man from France who explained to me 【3】 the French greeted each other. Now I know the French usually shake hands when they meet 【4】 they know each other well, they kiss each other on the cheek. When 【5】 (say) goodbye, they shake hands again. So it is not 【6】 (usual) for a Frenchman who you greeted several minutes ago 【7】 (come) and shake hands with you again.

Every culture in the world has its own taboos. It is necessary that we 【8】 (be) aware of them because breaking a taboo may be an 【9】 (annoy) experience. For example, in Japan, “4” and “9” are considered to be numbers that are unlucky. We should know this in order not to cause 【10】 (offend).

【1】it

【2】met

【3】how

【4】if

【5】saying

【6】unusual

【7】to come

【8】(should) be

【10】offence

【解析】本文通过讲述作者了解法国人打招呼的经历，感慨每种文化都有自己的特性，了解文化差异既有乐趣又极其重要性。

【1】考查代词。发现…有趣 find it interesting to do，it做形式宾语，不定式是真正的宾语 填it。

【2】考查动词时态。根据Last Saturday得知用一般过去时,填met。

【3】考查关系词。根据下文得知他向我解释法国人如何打招呼，填how。

【4】考查状语从句关系词。根据语境得知是如果彼此认识，他们会握手问候，填if。

【5】考查非谓语动词。前后主语一致，都是“他们”，状语从句中省略主语和be动词，主语和说是主动关系，填saying。

【6】考查形容词。看到法国人见面和再见都和你握手很平常，双重否定表肯定，be动词后用形容词，填unusual。

【7】考查不定式。根据it is+形容词+for somebody to do结构得知，填to come。

【8】考查虚拟语气。It is necessary that用虚拟语气，后面的谓语动词用should+动词原形，should可以省略。填(should) be。

【9】考查形容词。形容词修饰名词，“令人感到厌烦的”用ing形式，填annoying。

【10】考查名词。动词后缺少宾语，用名词做宾语。填offence。
