48. Why does a western visitor feel surprised when the host picks food for him?

　　A. Because he thinks it’s not polite.

　　B. Because he thinks it’s not necessary.

　　C. Because it won’t happen in western countries.

　　【答案】C

　　【解析】细节题。解答细节题通常第一步是进行定位，找到与题干相关的信息句，本题的相关句是第三段的第三行“Perhaps one of the things that surprises a western guest most is that the Chinese host likes to pick food for visitors, which won’t happen at western tables.”，(也许，其中让西方人最吃惊的事情之一是，中国的主人喜欢为他们夹菜，而这个不会发生在西方的餐桌上)这一句话中“…one of the things that surprises a western guest most is…”对应的便是我们的48题的题干，所以答案很可能就在这句话前后，接着往下看，“which won’t happen at western tables”(这不会发生在西方的餐桌上”对应着的题目选项便是C选项，所以正确答案便是C. 本题难度：较易

　　49. What the Chinese family do for the guests is to_____.

　　A. make them feel at home

　　B. show their wealth

　　C. make them feel uncomfortable.

　　【答案】A

　　【解析】细节题。此题依然为细节定位题。相关信息句定位到第三段的“The Chinese family go out of their way to make you feel at home.”所以关键词“make you feel at home”对应的即为选项A. 其实这道题目，也可以根据文章所要表达的整体的主旨大意，利用排除法解答。文章第一句话就给出了“China is a nation of etiquette(礼仪).”(中国是一个礼仪之邦)并且布满全文的单词类似“warm” “warmth”等等可以推测出，中国家庭对他们客人所做的并不是 “show their wealth”(炫富)，排除B, 也不是 “make them feel uncomfortable.”(让他们觉得不舒服)，排除C。最后确定答案为A. 本题难度：较易
