Question

【題目】Before you go to another country, it is a great help if you know the language(語(yǔ)言) and some of the customs(風(fēng)俗) of the country.

When people meet each other for the first time in Britain, they say “How do you do” and shake hands(握手). Usually they do not shake hands when they just meet or say goodbye. But they shake hands when they haven’t met for a long time or when they will be away from each other for a long time.

Last year a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that the English people hardly ever shake hands. So when they met their English friends at the station, they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students had learned that the Germans shake hands as often as possible, so they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with them. It made both of them laugh.

試題分析：在你去異國(guó)之前，最好要想了解這個(gè)國(guó)家的風(fēng)俗和語(yǔ)言。英國(guó)人在第一次見(jiàn)面的時(shí)候，常常會(huì)握手。但是道別的時(shí)候卻不握手。當(dāng)一群英國(guó)學(xué)生見(jiàn)到一群德國(guó)學(xué)生的時(shí)候，因?yàn)楸舜藢W(xué)過(guò)對(duì)方的風(fēng)俗，所以德國(guó)學(xué)生就把手放在后面不握手，而英國(guó)學(xué)生就伸出手準(zhǔn)備握手，雙方都笑了。

【1】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。句意：如果你知道一個(gè)國(guó)家的語(yǔ)言和一些風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣，會(huì)怎樣？根據(jù)：Before you go to another country it is a great help if you know the language and some of the customs（風(fēng)俗）of the country.在你去另一個(gè)國(guó)家之前，如果你知道一國(guó)的風(fēng)俗和語(yǔ)言會(huì)有很大的幫助。故選C。

【3】C主旨大意題。主旨大意題。句意：這個(gè)故事是關(guān)于什么的。根據(jù)：Before you go to another country it is a great help if you know the language and some of the customs（風(fēng)俗）of the country.在你去另一個(gè)國(guó)家之前，如果你知道一國(guó)的風(fēng)俗和語(yǔ)言會(huì)有很大的幫助。根據(jù)整篇文章都是說(shuō)風(fēng)俗的，故選C。
