For Britons，says Margolis：“talking about how much we make is unthinkableeven less so than discussing our feelings.”Overpoliteness“Its not that I want shop assistants to be actively rude.But neither do I want to expend energy responding to someone whos been paid to ask.How are you today？”says Margolis.In the US, it is not unusual to be greeted by a perfect stranger as “honey” or “sweetie”But Margolis says Britons find puton friendliness, especially in stores，deeply irritating(使人生气的)【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。BBC记者Ruth Margolis通过列举一些令英国人讨厌的美国人的行为，说明了英美文化之间的差异。1Margoliss dining experience in Paragraph 1 shows that ABritons are particular about foodsBBritons are not good at complainingCAmericans usually complain directlyDAmericans complain more than BritonsC解析：推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“But beware：if this kind of thing happens when youre dining with an American，they will most likely speak up on your behalf and not understand why you find this ashamed.”可知，如果英国人和美国人一起吃饭，对饭菜不满意，英国人当时不会抱怨，但美国人会替英国人大声说出来，并且不明白英国人为何会对此感到难为情。由此可推知，美国人通常会直接抱怨。故选C项。2Which of the following might Margolis agree with?ABritons enjoy talking about their feelings.BAmericans introduce themselves at parties.CAmericans dislike talking to strangers at parties.DBritons feel happy if treated like close friends.B解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“Americans rarely introduce a new friend to their friends at parties.Strangers are supposed to introduce themselves.”可知，在派对上美国人很少会把新朋友介绍给朋友们；陌生人需要自我介绍。由此可知，B项正确。根据第五段第二句“For Britons.talking.unthinkableeven less so than discussing our feelings.”可知，英国人不喜欢谈论自己的感受，A项错误；根据文章最后一段可知，英国人不喜欢别人待自己过于亲密，D项错误；C项文中没有提及。故选B项。3The underlined phrase“detracts from”in the text probably means “ ”Adiffers greatly from Bincreases the quality ofCreduces the strength of Ddraws attention away fromC解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段最后一句“To Britons ears，quitedetracts from the good：the meal was OK but could have been better.”可知，对于英国人而言，“quite good”这种说法暗含着“饭菜本来可能更好些”的意思，这样反而降低了称赞的程度。故选C项。4What does the text mainly talk about?AHow to get on well with westerners.BHow to start conversations with Britons.CRuth Margoliss tips on public behavior.DSome American habits that annoy Britons.D解析：主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要列举了一些令英国人讨厌的美国人的行为，说明了英美文化之间的差异。故答案选D项。.完形填空(2016青岛高三自主诊断)I arrived at my mothers home for our Monday family dinner.Mother was 1 quilt after quilt from the boxes, 2 showing me their beauties.She was preparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church.When we began to 3 and put them back into the boxes，I noticed something at the 4 of one box.“What is this？” I asked.“Oh？” Mom said，“Thats Mamas quilt.”I 5 the quilt.It looked as if a group of school children had pieced it together;
