解析;由第一段首句“Every country has its own dining customs.”可以推测,美国人认为成为有礼貌的客人的第一准则是准时赴宴。
答案;A
解析;根据逻辑,请人吃饭,主人自然希望客人能准时到。本题最容易错选D项,但hope其后不能用于hope sb.to do sth.句型。
答案;B
解析;主人希望客人能准时到或至多延后几分钟。
答案;A
解析;根据上下文之间的关系可知,此处表示结果,所以用so that引导结果状语从句。
答案;C
解析;根据“the hot rolls and the coffee and the meat can be at their best when the guests come”可推测,如果客人来晚了,食物味道就没有那么“好”。
答案;C
解析;根据上文内容以及逻辑可知,主人就会对此感到“失望”。
答案;D
解析;根据语境可知这里是表示假设情况。
答案;A
解析;根据习惯用法,在时间点前面应用介词at。
答案;A
解析;根据后文内容可知,客人带哪种东西取决于当时的情况。
答案;C
解析;根据常识,客人给主人一束鲜花表示客人对主人的感激,所以用sign,意为“标志”。
答案;D
解析;根据常识及后面的内容可知此处应用men。
答案;B
解析;根据下文“and continue to stand until she is seated”可知这里应选用动词stand。
答案;B
解析;前面说女士进房间时男士通常站起来,这里又说年轻人和强调男女平等的长者不再遵守这种习俗,前后文是转折关系,所以用However。
答案;D
解析;根据语法知识,这是个定语从句,先行词“most young people and some groups of elder people”在从句中作主语,所以关系代词用who或that。
答案;C
解析;be sensitive to表示“对……敏感”。be similar to“和……相似”。
答案;D
解析;根据文章中心意思及常识可知,这里应选A项。
答案;A

Americans think that travel is good for you. Some even think it can help to solve one of the coun??try ’ s worst problems ~: crime (犯罪).
Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes is up and up. And many criminals (罪犯)are young. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all.
There are many young criminals in prison,but prison doesn ’ t change them. Six or seven in ten will go back to crime when they come out of prison.
One man ,Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a difficult life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them grow into men. So Bob Burton started “Vision Quest. “ He takes young criminals on a long ,long journey with horses and wagons (马车), 3,000 miles through seven states. They are on the road for more than a year.
The young people in Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance.
It's hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before but they love their horses. That love can help them to live a new life.
Not all the young people on Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. Three or four in ten will one day be in prison again. Bob Burton is right. Travel can be good for you. Even today, Americans still say, “ Go west, young men. ”
In the last paragraph “leave crime behind them" means .
A. no longer do a crime B. leave people who do a crime
C. don't do all the crimes D. leave criminals behind
Why is Bob Burton right?
A .Because he can help to solve crime.
B .Because three or four is better than six or seven.
C .Because the young criminals have a hard life on the road.
D .Because he can stop crime in the country.
Form the passage we may infer that .
A .getting up before the sun rises can help out of crime
B .we can hardly find a person who has no love for anybody or anything
C .travelling can help all criminals out of prison
D .young people can do anything freely
On “ Vision Quest" .
