46. What does the underline word “hospitable” mean in this passage.

　　A.好客的 B. 勤劳的 C.朴实的

　　【答案】A

　　【解析】猜词题。词义猜词的解题技巧首先先定位到文章所在的句子“Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world.” 然后第二步就是根据这个词汇的上下句进行推测。所以我们从文章的第一句话“China is a nation of etiquette”(中国是一个礼仪之邦)和“If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests.”(如果外国人去到了中国人家里去做客，他们会被中国人的热情而感到吃惊)。从关键词“warmth”; “as guests”可以推测hospitable可能是好客的意思，再根据最后一段第一句“Being warm and hospitable has long been…”我们看出，and作为并列词连接了warm和hospitable，说明这两个单词为同义词，warm是温暖的，所以最后我们可以确定答案为C。本题难度：较易

　　47. As a guest in a Chinese family, you are usually offered_____ by the host.

　　A. coffee and snacks B. juice and snacks C. tea and snacks

　　【答案】C

　　【解析】细节题。本题的解题技巧是先定位。定位到与题干相关的信息句，即第二段第一句和第二句“When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks(小吃) like biscuits or candy.”其中“the host usually makes tea for you”(主人通常会为你沏茶)对应选项的单词tea; 继续往后看,“he will serve you snacks…”(他将用小吃招待你)不仅对应了题干中的 “you are usually offered_____ by the host”(主人经常会提供…给你)还对应了C选项的snacks。所以综合这两句话，答案确定为C。本题难度：较易
