As I was leaving to meet Lynne, my roommate told me that I'd better take some money, but I didn't listen to him. I thought that Lynne would pay because she had invited me.
I arrived at the restaurant exactly on time. I'd been told that Americans expect you to be on time. Lynne and I sat at a table in the corner of the restaurant and a waitress came and took our order.
The dinner was a great success. I talked a lot about Saudi Arabia and Lynne told me all about herself. After two hours the waitress finally came and asked if we wanted one check or two. Lynne said two. We went to the cashier (出納員) and Lynne paid her check (帳單) . I was embarrassed (窘迫的) when the cashier gave me my bill. I had no money to pay for my meal. Then I had an idea. I pretended to look for something in my pockets and said, “Oh! I forgot my money! Can I call my roommate, please?” The cashier showed me where the phone was and I quickly called my roommate.
In a few minutes he arrived with some money. But he couldn't hide how he felt. He laughed all the way home. Now, I think it's funny too, but at the time I was terribly embarrassed. I thought that an invitation to have dinner didn't mean the same thing in the United States as in my country. I guess you have to understand that your customs are only your customs. When you visit a foreign country, you have to learn about their customs, too.
(1) The writer's roommate advised the writer to take money with him ________.

[ ]
A．Because he had no money.
B．Because he thought Lynne would pay for the meal.

(1) 考查對文章內(nèi)容的理解能力。由文章可知作者是應(yīng)Lynne的邀請去吃飯的。故C項“邀請Lynne吃飯”可排除。由后面的文章可看出美國人雖然說請吃飯，但仍是各付各的賬單。故B項“ (作者的舍友告訴作者帶些錢) 支付自己的賬單”為正確選項。A項“為飯付錢”；D項中checks為復(fù)數(shù)，可知意為“付 (兩份) 賬單”，這與文章中Lynne付了自己的賬單內(nèi)容不符。故A、D兩項可排除。 (2) 考查學(xué)生的推斷理解能力。由全文內(nèi)容：作者認為自己是被邀請的，不聽舍友勸告不帶錢去赴宴，結(jié)果沒有錢付賬，只得假裝忘了帶錢，打電話讓舍友帶錢來付賬。可知舍友笑是因為作者離開時不聽勸告，故D為正確答案。舍友來時，隨即付了賬，可知舍友不是笑他因沒付賬而窘迫，故A項排除。舍友不會笑作者打電話讓他帶錢，也不會因為作者沒有把沒帶錢的真相告訴Lynne而發(fā)笑，故B、C可排除。 (3) 考查對細節(jié)內(nèi)容的理解。由第三段The dinner was a great success.可知A項正確，包括了B、C兩項的內(nèi)容。 (4) 考查細節(jié)內(nèi)容掌握。由第一段最后一句I thought that Lynne would pay because...“我想Lynne會付錢的，因為是她邀請我的”�？芍�B項正確。 (5) 考查概括分析能力。由全文可知B項“入鄉(xiāng)隨俗”正確。 |
