When I was sixteen years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It was not the first time I had been abroad. But it made a deep impression on me. Like most English 1., I learned French at school and I often went to France, so I was used to (习惯于) speaking a foreign language to the people who didn't understand English. But when I went to America, I was really 2. having a nice easy holiday without any language problems. How 3. I was! The misunderstanding began at the 4.. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Danny a ring. So I asked an old man. “I want to give my friend a ring. Could you help me?” “Well, that’s 5.,” he answered in surprise. “You look very young. Are you getting married?” “Oh! No,” I replied. “I just want to give a ring to tell her I have arrived. Could you tell me if there is a phone box near here?” “Oh! Sorry,” he said, “There is a phone 6.. ” When we met up. Danny told the misunderstanding to me clearly. “Don’t worry! I met such problems 7.. There are lots of words which the Americans use 8. in meaning from us British. But Most of the time British and American people can understand each other well! You will soon get used to all the funny things they say.”

C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words(在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺,每空格限填一词,首字母已给):(14分)

“There is no love which is more sincere than the love of food,” said Anglo-Irish writer George Bernard Shaw. Like Bernard Shaw, many writers e1. food very much, and they say and write interesting things about it.

British poet Owen Meredith(1831-1891) learnt a lot about food when he lived in Paris. He famously said, “We may live without friends, we may live without books, but civilized(文明的) men cannot live without c2.

American writer Mark Twain also wrote a lot about food. “When you have t3. watermelon,” he wrote, “you know what angels eat.”

American cookbook writer Alice May Brock has some simple rules about food from different c 4.;“If you want to cook international food, it’s easy,” she wrote. “Put tomatoes on the plate and it’s Italian. Use soy sauce and it’s Chinese. A 5. wine to the recipe(食谱) and it’s French. Sour cream makes it Russian and lemon makes it Greek. But garlic makes it good! Cheers!”

Tea and coffee are even more i 6. for some people. There is a Chinese saying, “It is better to go without food for three days, than tea for one.”

American President Abraham Lincoln was often rude about the tea and coffee which was served to him. For example, he was in a Washington restaurant one day, and when the main meal was over, a cup of hot l7.was placed in front of him. He drank a bit and was clearly angry. “Waiter,” he said, “if this is coffee, please bring me some tea; and if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.”
