【解析】

文章大意：本文主要講述當你在一個新的地方，很容易發(fā)現(xiàn)文化沖擊。本文作者通過美國人說話方式來闡述他們嘲笑某人不是傷害而是表達親密和幽默。

【1】句意：第一個驚喜是美國人說話的方式。

talk談?wù)摚?/span>speak說；sing唱；teach教，根據(jù)第二段“One day I saw someone was having a public speech in a square.”可知，在廣場有一個演講，這里說的是美國人說話方式，故選B。

【2】句意：我認為這將是一個嚴肅的演講。

lovely可愛的；funny有趣的、滑稽的；serious嚴肅的；polite禮貌的，由后句“But I soon found it became a kind of entertainment show. ”可知，作者后來發(fā)現(xiàn)它變成了一種娛樂方式，故知此處說的是嚴肅的演講，故選C。

【3】句意：后來他說有些人的行為與他們說的話不符。

words話；lessons課程；listeners聽眾；speakers演講者，根據(jù)后文“...It sounds like she is a hypocrite(偽君子). ”可知，行為與他說的話不相符，故選A。

【4】句意：他說既然斯威夫特不想再和那個男孩在一起了，她不需要大聲說出來，她不需要唱歌，除非她仍然和那個男孩保持聯(lián)系。

although盡管；when當……時；if如果；unless除非，根據(jù)后面“she still keeps in touch with that guy. It sounds like she is a hypocrite(偽君子). ”可知，她不需要唱歌除非他仍然和那個男孩保持聯(lián)系，故選D。

【5】句意：然后他以滑稽的方式唱了這首歌。

serious嚴肅的；funny滑稽的；active積極的；soft軟的，根據(jù)后句“The listeners laughed out loudly.”可知演講者以滑稽的方式唱了這首歌，聽者們才會笑得那么大聲，故選B。

【6】句意：我有一點生氣，因為斯威夫特是我最喜歡的明星。

happy高興的；satisfied滿意的；angry生氣的；nervous緊張不安的，根據(jù)后面“because Swift is my favourite star.”可知，因為作者非常喜歡斯威夫特，演講者拿她作例子，作者感到非常生氣，故選C。

【7】句意：我不理解他們?yōu)槭裁闯靶λ雇�夫特�?/span>

worried about擔心；talked about談?wù)摚?/span>laughed at嘲笑；cared for關(guān)心、照顧，根據(jù)前面“The listeners laughed out loudly. I felt a little___6___ because Swift is my favourite star.”可知，演講者拿斯威夫特作例子而她恰恰是作者喜歡的明星，此時作者不理解為什么嘲笑斯威夫特，故選C。

【8】句意：但他們并不想傷害他們。

So因此；And并且；Or否則；But但是，根據(jù)后面“They do that to show closeness and humour.”可知他們這樣做為了表達親密和幽默，所以是表轉(zhuǎn)折，故選D。

【9】句意：并且被嘲笑的人很少會生氣。

seldom很少；always總是；easily容易地；often經(jīng)常，根據(jù)前面“___8___they don't mean to hurt them. They do that to show closeness and humour.”可知他們不是為了傷害他們，他們只是表達親密和幽默，因此被嘲笑的人很少生氣，故選A。

【10】句意：現(xiàn)在我理解了在廣場上的演講者。

at the school在學校；in the square在廣場；at the concert在音樂會上；in the park在公園，根據(jù)第二段第一行“One day I saw someone was having a public speech in a square.”可知演講者在廣場演講，故選B。

做完型填空時，首先要通讀課文，明白主旨大意，然后再做題。做完型時要記住“瞻前顧后想結(jié)果”這一原則，根據(jù)上下文以及語境做題，切忌主觀臆斷。另外，平時還要多多積累詞匯。完型填空�？济�詞、動詞、形容詞和副詞等辨析。做詞義辨析題時，首先要確認四個選項的含義，然后分析語境和邏輯關(guān)系，確定答案。

例如題目6中，首先確定四個選項含義，happy高興的；satisfied滿意的；angry生氣的；nervous緊張不安的，根據(jù)后面“because Swift is my favourite star.”可知，因為作者非常喜歡斯威夫特，演講者拿她作例子，作者感到非常生氣，故選C。
