Answer 1

答案：A;C;D;D;B;B;A;C;B;B
解析：

(1)由上文可知，在泰国欢迎客人就用come and eat rice，所以吃泰国餐应用动词eat，而此句的主语是all Thai dishes。 (2)grows there very easily的原因是the climate is warm and there is much rain。 (3)根据so there is no need to use knives and forks but, instead, special spoons and forks are used.可知客人不用刀和叉来吃端上来的食物，说明它们已被切成了块。 (4)从now there are still some people who eat this way.可知过去常常有人用手吃饭，used to do sth.意为“过去常常做某事”。 (5)根据下文的介绍，这里说的是“做这件事的特殊方式”。 (6)从下文……they only eat with their right hands.可知他们要洗的是右手。 (7)根据所给四个选项可知应选A，即“吃饭时，不让食物碰到掌心”。 (8)因为它们是用右手吃饭，所以饭后应选洗手。 (9)because表示“因为”，though表示“虽然”，since表示“自从，由于”，until表示直到。根据句意“尽管每个人都有自己的饭碗，但是这些食物还是被放在一碗中共同享用”，选B。 (10)根据上题确定选B，their own bowl of rice意为“他们自己的饭碗”。
