　　Dining Custom

　　Every land has its own dining custom, and the United States is no exception. Americans feel that the first role of being a polite guest is to be on time. Ifa person is invited to dinner at 6:30, the hostess expects him to be there at 6:30 or not more than a few minutes after. Because she usually does her own cooking, she times the meal so that the coffee and meat will be at their best at the time she asks the guest to come. If he is late, the food will not be so good, and the hostess will be disappointed.

　　When the guest can not come on time, he calls his host or hostess on the telephone, gives the reason,and tells at what time he thinks he can come.

　　As guests continue to arrive, the men in the group stand when a woman enters and remain standing until she found a chair. A man always rises when he is being introduced to a woman. A woman does not rise when she is being introduced either to a man or a woman unless the woman is much older.

　　When the guests sit down at a dinner table, it is customary for the men to help the ladies by pushing their chairs under them.

　　Even an American may be confused by the number of knives, forks, and spoons besides his plate when he sits down to a formal dinner. The rule is simple, however: use them in the order in which they lie, beginning from the outside, or watch the hostess and do what she does. The small fork on the outside on the left is for salad, which is often served with the soup. The spoon on butter spreader, on a small bread-and-butter plate at the left.

　　2017年職稱英語考試試題《綜合B》閱讀判斷專項(xiàng)練習(xí)題答案及解析

　　1.B。題干：作為一個(gè)移民國家，美國并沒有屬于自己的飲食習(xí)慣。利用題干關(guān)鍵詞可以定位到文章第一段的第一句話，可知每個(gè)國家都有自己的飲食風(fēng)俗，美國也不例外，故選擇B。

　　2.A。題干：女主人計(jì)算時(shí)間做飯，以便當(dāng)客人在預(yù)期的時(shí)間里到達(dá)時(shí)可以享受到最可口的咖啡和飯菜。答案查找的相關(guān)線索詞為：on time(準(zhǔn)時(shí))和coffee and meat(咖啡和肉)。先在第一段的第二句中找到on time，并在該段的第四句發(fā)現(xiàn)coffee and meat，兩者信息相符，故選擇A。

　　3.B。題干：當(dāng)一個(gè)女士被介紹給一個(gè)年長的男士時(shí)，她通常站起來。相關(guān)線索詞為woman(女士)和an agedgentleman(一個(gè)年長的男士)。先在第二段的最后一句中找到woman和old(aged的近義詞)。而該句說的是“年長的女士”這種情況，而不是年長的男士，說法不正確，故選擇B。

　　4.C。題干：按照習(xí)俗，在餐桌上男人應(yīng)為女人安排座位。相關(guān)線索詞arrange chairs for ladies(為女士安排座位)或該短語的同義短語/句子。原文中沒提到該動(dòng)作，故選C。

　　5.A。題干：在美國的正式宴席上，盤子旁邊的刀、叉子和調(diào)羹按一定的順序擺放。答案查找的相關(guān)線索詞為：knives，forks and spoons(刀、叉子和調(diào)羹)。相關(guān)信息在第三段的第一句，說“原則是按照它們擺放的順序使用”，所以刀、叉子和調(diào)羹是有擺放順序的。故選A。

　　6.B。題干意思為“在正式的美國宴席上，盤子旁邊的刀、叉子和調(diào)羹的使用順序是從左到右”。這道題與前一題相關(guān)，在前一題我們已發(fā)現(xiàn)了涉及刀、叉子和調(diào)羹擺放順序的句子，而該句說“從外到里”，所以應(yīng)是從右到左，而不是從左到右。故選B。

　　7.C。題干：在正式的美國宴席上，面包通常和色拉、湯一塊兒吃。答案查找的相關(guān)線索詞為：bread和soup。在原文第三段的第四句中發(fā)現(xiàn)“色拉和湯一塊兒吃”的說法，但并沒提到面包，故選C。
