I have happy memories of trips to Europe, but my trip to Romania was unique. My husband was born there, but his family sent him to study in Italy. He hasn’t seen his family since he was 16.

When we reached Bucharest, his family was waiting outside to greet us. After a lot of hugging, kissing, and crying, his family also embraced (擁抱) me, the American wife with two young children. They had great interest in me. Few Americans visited Romania at that time, and most Romanians had little chance to travel. His family loved our gifts. We made trips to the Black Sea and the Carpathian Mountains. Eating at outdoor cafes to the sound of gypsy violins was very different, but nothing was as unforgettable as family dinners.

Most Romanian homes had old-fashioned washing machines but no dryers. It was a hot summer. My husband’s relatives didn’t want to risk dirtying their clothes. Their solution was as simple as it was surprising: The women had dinner in their bras (文胸) and slips (襯裙). The men were shirtless. They all had jobs, so time was precious. Disrobing (脫去衣服) for dinner was a small inconvenience compared with the effort of doing laundry – at least in their household, and perhaps all across Romania. I washed my clothes by hand and hung them outdoors to dry. I, of course, having just met them, ate fully clothed.

On the last night of our three-week stay, we had a large family dinner. I was tired of washing my clothes. So I pulled my dress over my head and placed it on the chair behind me. The table applauded. Even with my poor Romanian, I understood that they were saying: “She’s part of our family now.”

1.When the author arrived in her husband’s hometown, _____.

A. his family showed no respect for her at first

B. she intended to talk to his family in English

C. she got extra attention from his family for her nationality

D. she found that she hadn’t brought enough gifts for his family

2.What surprised the author most during her visit to her husband’s family?

A. Most of his family members didn’t travel a lot at the time.

B. Women in his family had dinner in only their underclothes.

C. Most of her husband’s relatives didn’t like doing laundry.

D. They had old-fashioned washing machines but no dryers at home.

3.On the last night of the author’s stay, the family applauded her because _____.

A. the author disrobed for dinner as the family did

B. they just wanted to show their love for the author

C. the author could finally understand them easily

D. it was time for the author to give a speech

 

1.C

2.B

3.A

【解析】

試題分析：英文有句諺語“when in Rome do as the Romans do”，說的是入鄉(xiāng)隨俗。文中，我隨著多年未回祖國的丈夫一起回到了羅馬尼亞。受到家里人熱情款待的同時(shí)，由于語言、習(xí)慣的差異，我鬧了不少笑話。這些事如今想來，都成為了我獨(dú)特而甜蜜的回憶。

1.推理判斷題，根據(jù)They had great interest in me. Few Americans visited Romania at that time,，原文中作者丈夫出生在歐洲的羅馬尼亞，自己是美國人，他們家人對作者的國籍很感興趣，選C。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Their solution was as simple as it was surprising: The women had dinner in their bras (文胸) and slips (襯裙). 作者驚訝于丈夫家的女人們穿著內(nèi)衣吃飯。選B。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)On the last night of our three-week stay, we had a large family dinner. I was tired of washing my clothes. So I pulled my dress over my head and placed it on the chair behind me. The table applauded。丈夫家人鼓掌，因?yàn)檫@個美國媳婦也入鄉(xiāng)隨俗了。 A。

Last summer, after finishing our work in China, I took a trip of a lifetime on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Leaving Beijing early on a Wednesday morning in July, my wife and I traveled through some gorgeous countryside before we arrived in Moscow the following Monday evening.

The first part of the journey took us past the Great Wall and through the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. At the Mongolian Republic border, we had a delay(耽擱) while the wheels were changed because the railway is different.

On our way to the capital, Ulan Bator, we saw herdsmen(牧人) on horseback looking after their cattle. There was a terrible thunderstorm as we crossed a vast open plain. Later we had a quick tour of Ulan Bator.

Next, the train took us into Siberia. After a stop at Irkutsk, a popular holiday resort (勝地), where a tour group left the train, we passed the great Lake Baikal. Later, we saw some lovely wooden houses in pretty, sunny countryside. This surprised us, as we had imagined Siberia as being covered in thick snow.

Over the next few days, we passed through Novosibirsk, Omsk and other cities in the heartlands of the Russian Federation. By now, our body clocks were losing their sense of time. We wanted to sleep and eat at the wrong time!

At last we reached Moscow. We were too tired and slept for 16 hours that night. The next day we went sightseeing. We saw the Kremlin and some other great buildings in the Russian capital. Then, all too soon, it was time for us to return to our home in London.

1.How many days did it take the author to reach Moscow?

A. four B. five C. six D. seven

2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Ulan Bator is the capital of Mongolian Republic.

B. The author travelled with a group of friends

C. The author’s body clock ran faster than the others’.

D. The train broke down at the Mongolian Republic border.

3.The author was surprised by what he saw in Siberia because _____.

A. it was covered with thick snow though it was sunny.

B. the houses there were so pretty.

C. there were a large number of tourists there.

D. It was not covered in snow but it was sunny.

4.The passage mainly tells us_____.

A. how to travel to Moscow from Beijing.

B. the trip from Beijing to Moscow.

C. How wonderful the capital of Russia is.

D. The trans-Siberian Railway.
