Answer 1

分析 本文主要講述了不同國家，贈(zèng)送禮品有著不同的風(fēng) 俗．比如在中國，不能把鐘表、小刀作為贈(zèng)送禮物，不能用白、黑和藍(lán) 三種顏色包裹禮物；在俄羅斯，如果你送花作為禮物，你必須給他們 一個(gè)奇數(shù)（一、三、五等），因?yàn)榕紨?shù)鮮花是為葬禮而送的．在德國，送 花時(shí)，不要送代表愛意的紅色玫瑰，不能送帶有數(shù)字13的禮物等．

解答 36．A   細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由文中的第二句"In China you must never give a clock to a Chinese person，because the sound of the word for‘clock'is similar to the sound of‘death'．"可知，在中國，你不能 把鐘表作為禮物，因?yàn)?鐘表"的發(fā)音類似于"死亡"的發(fā)音．所以選擇   A
37．D  細(xì)節(jié)理解題．短文的第一段講述了中國的禮品贈(zèng)送風(fēng)俗，第一段的第三句"Also，don't wrap a present in white，black，or blue paper"，即講述了在中國不能用白、黑和藍(lán)三種顏色包裹禮物．短文的第三段講述了德國的贈(zèng)送風(fēng)俗，由最后一句"Don't wrap your presents in white，brown，or black paper．"可知，在德國不能用白、棕和黑三個(gè)顏色包裹禮物．所以選擇   D．
38．B 詞義猜測題．因?yàn)橹v述俄羅斯的風(fēng)俗時(shí)，提到"give an odd number of them （one，three，five，etc．）"，可知 odd number 是奇數(shù)，與其對應(yīng)的就是偶數(shù)．由此可以判斷"even"的含義是"偶數(shù)"，所以選擇B．
39．C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題．短文的第三段講述了德國的贈(zèng)送風(fēng)俗．第一個(gè) 就是"don't take her red roses because it means you are in love with her．"，可知參加聚會(huì)不能帶紅色玫瑰給女主人，因?yàn)槟谴��?著愛上了女主人．再有不能贈(zèng)送帶有數(shù)字13的禮物；不能用白、棕和黑三個(gè)顏色包裹禮物．所以選擇C
40．D 主旨大意題．本篇文章通過列舉中國、俄羅斯和德國的贈(zèng)送 禮品風(fēng)俗，說明了在不同的國家，贈(zèng)送禮品的風(fēng)俗也是不同的．所以選擇 D．

點(diǎn)評 做閱讀時(shí)經(jīng)常犯錯(cuò)的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對于題目的理解一定要忠實(shí)于原文，因此，每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句，（1）排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項(xiàng)（2）排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項(xiàng)  （3）排除用于過于極端或負(fù)面的選項(xiàng)（4）注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除．
