解答:

总的来说这篇东西就是跟你讲了一个“如何表示礼貌”这样一个事情。作为例子,他先后举了蒙古人和波利尼西亚人的饭桌礼节以及东非人的会客礼节这样几个典型例子。具体来说,就是在蒙古,你吃好饭要打嗝表示礼貌,因为这样代表食物很美味(但在很多其他地方这样做是不合适的)。在Polynesia这个地方,吃饭的礼节则十分奇怪,那就是不能让人看到。你让人看到你在吃东西就是不礼貌了,所以要背过身去吃东西。最后在东非的镇上,人们表示礼貌的方式就是装作没看到对方。你可能会看到一个朋友,他可能根本就没看到你。这时表示礼貌的方式就是坐到他旁边去,等他做完自己的事情过来和你说话。

59题:“在蒙古,打嗝代表了__?”
看了文章会知道这代表了食物美味。而文中也提到了“Burping would show that you like your food.”B符合要求。注意答案D的话似乎也有道理,但是和B一比就显得太过宽泛,两者相比选B。

60题:“在Polynesia,为了表示礼节,你吃饭时应该___”
很清楚是应该背过身去。文中找到“People show their good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat.”确定答案C。

61题:“东非城镇的人通过什么方式表达礼貌?”
很明显是“尽量装作没看到对方”。文中找到“The people try not to see you. They are being polite. ”这句话,确定答案D。答案B似乎也有道理,但其实不然:坐到朋友旁边去是在你明确看到一个朋友时候表示礼貌的方法,而一般情况下,你要向一个东非朋友表示礼貌的最好办法,就是尽量不要去看到他。

62题:“文章最好的标题是?”
这个比较难,可能会选到C上去(我不看答案也错了)。但其实上面所有不同地方的不同礼节都只是例子而已,为的是说明“如何表示良好的礼节”,这也就是文章的主旨。所以答案选A。

综上而言,前3个题目都是细节题,文章里面找相应的句子即可,相对简单;最后一个主旨题,需联系全文来分析,相对比较难。
