Question

   Have you heard of the term “etiquette”？And do you know that etiquette is not only a useful word 1 very useful to understand?

   Etiquette is not the same in every culture 2 in every situation. For example,standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries. However,if you do this in Europe,some 3 people might feel 4 Even in China,we all know that etiquette is not the same in all situations. Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine,but there are other places where talking loudly is 5 . For example,most people would agree that talking loudly in a library,a museum,or a movie theater is 6 Even if you are with your friends,it is better to keep your voice 7 in public places. In fact,we should also 8 not to cough or sneeze loudly in public.

   If we see someone 9 the rules of etiquette,we may politely give them some suggestions. Perhaps one of the most polite ways 10 ask someone. “Would you mind doing this” or “Would you mind not doing that”. For example,if someone cuts 11 you in a line,you could ask them,Sorry,would you mind 12 in the line?” If someone is smoking on the bus,you could ask, “Excuse me,could you please 13 that cigarette?” People don't usually like 14 , so we have to be careful how we do this.

   Although rules of etiquette can often be different,some rules are the same almost everywhere in the world!For example,15 is almost never allowed. If you see someone you know doing this,you can ask them ,“Would you mind picking it up?”

阅读提示：本文是一篇说明文，“礼仪”这个词在不同国家不同场合含 义不同。在亚洲，说话人彼此靠得很近是很正常的，但欧洲人就会感 觉不舒服。在中国，在家里可以大声说话，而在一些公共场合大声说 话是不礼貌的。如果你看到有人破坏了“礼仪”，你可以给他建议或 提醒。

1. D not only... but also…为固定结构，意为“不但 而且 ”。

2. A在否定句中表示连接用连词or。

3. C由前半句“如果你在欧洲这样做”可推知应是欧洲人。故选C.

4. B由前一句的句意和本句的连接词however可知，欧洲人会感到 不舒服的。

5. C but表转折，由前半句的意思“在家里大声说话没什么不妥”后 半句意为“而在其他一些地方是不允许大声讲话的。”不被允许应 用被动语态，故选C.

6. B大家都知道在图书馆、博物馆、影剧院等公共场所大声讲话是 粗鲁的，不礼貌的。故选B.

7. D句意为“即使和朋友在一起，在公共场合声音最好小点”。

8. A try not to do sth.意为“尽量别做某事”.

9. B break the rules破坏规则，see sb. doing sth.意为“看到某人在 做某事”。

10. D one of...作主语时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，由后面的 ask可知本句句式应用be to do。

11. B in front of为固定短语，意为“在 前面”。

12. A根据前面的内容可知是建议某人排队等候。

13. C根据前半句可知是讲让某人把烟熄灭。

14. C根据上下文可知本句句意为“人们通常不喜欢被批评”，应用 被动语态。空格前为动词like ,故后面应用不定式的被动语态。

15. A由后面的内容可知本句意为“乱扔垃圾在全世界都不被允 许”。
