A.People'sEverydayLifeB.MindYourManners

C.ShakingandNoddingHeadD.TakingaBusinEngland參考答案答案及解析：

1．D。這是一道句子理解題，也可以看成細節(jié)題。在第一自然段的最后，有這樣的句子：NoonehadtoldthemabouttheBritishcustomofliningupforabusthatthefirstpersonwhoarrivesatabusstopisthefirstpersontogetonthebus．從此句可知那三位先生并不知道在英國乘車的習(xí)慣，所以答案是D。

2.B。這是一道細節(jié)題。答案在第二自然段的第二個句子。

3．B。同第二題一樣，此題也是細節(jié)題?？稍诘诙匀欢沃苯诱业酱鸢?。

4．A。單句理解題。最后一個自然段中有說：InEuropeitisquiteusualtocrossyourlegsWhenyouaresittingtalkingtosomeoneevenatanimportantmeeting．這個句子的意思是：在歐洲，開會時翹二郎腿是很常見的。這說明許多人有這樣的習(xí)慣，所以答案應(yīng)該是A。

5．B。通讀全文就會發(fā)現(xiàn)，只學(xué)習(xí)一門外語是不夠的，還要多了解該國的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣，否則就會遇到麻煩，所以答案是B。閱讀理解4

A.theownersoldthetrouserstwodollars

B.Tomsoldthetrousersonedollarandahalf

C.theownerboughtthetrousersthreedollars

D.Tomboughtthetrousersfourdollarsandahalf參考答案答案及解析：

1．B．Tom拿著一條褲子并且問：“Howmuchwillyougivemeforthese?”店主所以認為Tom是來賣褲子的，故答案是B。

2．A．此題是細節(jié)題，可在第一自然段的末尾找到答案。

3．B．店主當然想便宜地把褲子買下來。

4．C．從短文的倒數(shù)第二段可以了解到，褲子不是Tom的而是店主的。

5．D．褲子的標價是6.5美元，而Tom只給了店主2美元，所以答案應(yīng)該是D。閱讀理解5BigBenBigBenisnotthenameofaman.Itisthenameofahuge（龐大的）clockinLondon.LondonisthecapitalofEngland.Thisclockhasfourfaces.So，nomatterwhereyoustand，youcanreadthetimeonthefaceofBigBen.Eachfaceisthesizeofadoubledecker（層）bus.Thehandsareaboutfourmetreslong.Itisaboutthesizeoftwopeoplestandingontopofeachother.IfyougotoLondon，youmaywanttovisittheHousesofParliament（國會大廈）.ThereyouwillfindBigBensitsatthetopoftheclocktower（塔）intheHousesofParliament.Maybeyouwillhearitaswellasseeit.Thehugeclockmakessuchaloudnoise.“Dingdong，dingdong，”itgoeseveryquarterofanhour.
