There are many differences in eating habits among China and western countries. Firstly, Chinese people ate rice, noodles, vegetables and meat when western people prefer bread, milk, salad and steak. Secondly, westerners used to eating with a knife and a fork, but the Chinese eat with chopstick. Thirdly westerners usually eat quiet instead of making a loud noise during meals. They think it is very much impolite. However, this is common for the Chinese to talk with family members and friends while have dinner. Anyway, it is considering bad manners in both China and western countries to talk with our mouths full.

Answer 1

【答案】among → between

ate → eat

when → while

used前加are

chopstick → chopsticks

quiet → quietly

this → it

删除very后的much

have → having

considering → considered

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中西方饮食文化的差异。

1. 考查介词。在两者之间应用介词between，故将among改为between。

2. 考查时态。本文陈述一般事实，应用一般现在时，故将ate改为eat。

3. 考查连词。句意：中国人吃大米、面、蔬菜和肉食，而西方人更喜欢面包、牛奶、沙拉和牛排。结合句意可知，此处意为“然而”，表前后的对比，其表示是while，故将when改为while。

4. 考查短语。句意：西方人习惯用刀叉来吃，而中国人用筷子。结合句意可知，此处考查短语be used to doing sth.“习惯于做某事”，主语westerner是复数，故在used前加are。

5. 考查名词的数。结合常识可知，筷子是成对出现的，应用复数形式，故将chopstick改为chopsticks。

6. 考查副词。此处应用副词修饰动词eat，故将quiet改为quietly。

7. 考查代词。分析句子结构可知，此处考查固定句型it is + adj. + for sb. to do sth.(对于某人来说做某事是怎么样的)，it是形式主语，to do 是真正的主语，故将this改为it。

8. 考查副词。much不能修饰形容词的原级，故删除very后的much。

9. 考查非谓语动词。此处是状语从句的省略，while引导时间状语从句的完整句子为while the Chinese are having dinner, 因为和主句的主语一致都是Chinese，且有be动词，故省略了从句中的Chinese和are，故将have改为having。

10. 考查非谓语动词。句中it是形式主语，真正的主语是to talk with our mouths full，它和consider之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，此处应使用过去分词，故将considering改为considered。
