Ⅲ.完形填空

Beijing, China. Then I advised my 16 to read the book called Know Before
You Go.
"It looks very interesting, 17 we don't need that," my father said. He
refused my 18 .
Our first evening in Beijing began at about nine o'clock. We walked past an 19
restaurant. The staff were cleaning tables and were about to go home.
"This looks good," said my father. "I think it's about to close," I said. "People
there eat 20 than those in the UK. " The staff looked a bit unhappy but 21
us to a table. A young woman handed us a 22 , all in Chinese. My father pointed
to a few things. "That's what we want," he said. My father picked up the chopsticks
and started 23 the bowl like playing the drums. "Don't do that, Dad," I said.
"It's not 24 in China. "
After a while one large plate of food arrived 25 the middle of the table. My
father took it and started eating. "Where's the 26 of the food?" he said to the
waiter. "Dad, everyone 27 food here. That dish you're eating is for everybody," I
said. But he ate 28 on the plate.
Finally, my father asked for the bill. He 29 the bill and handed the waiter 20
yuan before leaving.
The waiter looked surprised. "What are you doing?" I said. "People don't give
tips in China. " I 30 felt so embarrassed in all my life. I'll surely go back to

【分析】
做完形填空首先要先通读全文，理清故事主线：本文讲述了作者一家第一次前往中国北京旅行，爸爸拒绝了作者提前阅读旅行攻略书的建议，在餐厅用餐时因为不了解中国的餐饮文化闹出了一系列笑话，最后让作者十分尴尬的趣事。解题时要逐空结合前后文的线索、逻辑关系、固定搭配和相关文化常识，逐一排除不符合语境的选项，选出最贴合故事逻辑的答案，注意前后文的内容呼应，后文多次出现爸爸的不当行为，都和开头他拒绝看攻略的伏笔形成对应。
【解析】
16. 根据后文直接出现的引语"my father said"，可知此处是作者建议自己的爸爸读这本名为《出行前须知》的书，选B。
17. 前半句“它看起来很有趣”和后半句“我们不需要它”是转折逻辑关系，用转折连词but，选A。
18. 前文作者提出了让爸爸看书的提议，此处爸爸拒绝的正是作者的这个建议，suggestion意为“建议”，符合语境，选D。
19. 根据后文“店员们正在擦桌子，马上就要回家了”，可知此时餐厅里几乎没有客人，是空的，empty符合语境，选C。
20. 晚上九点多餐厅就准备打烊，说明中国人吃晚餐的时间比英国人更早，earlier是early的比较级，符合语境，选A。
21. 店员虽然有点不高兴，但还是把我们领到了餐桌旁，固定搭配lead sb. to sp.表示“带领某人去某地”，此处用过去式led，选B。
22. 在餐厅里，年轻女服务员递给我们的全是中文的物品，只能是菜单menu，选D。
23. 根据后文描述“像打鼓一样”，可知爸爸拿起筷子开始敲碗，knocking意为“敲击”，符合语境，选B。
24. 在中国的餐饮礼仪里，拿筷子敲碗是不礼貌的行为，polite意为“礼貌的”，选C。
25. 固定搭配in the middle of表示“在……的中间”，此处指一大盘菜被放到了餐桌中间，选A。
26. 爸爸直接端起整盘菜开始吃，还询问服务员剩下的食物在哪里，rest意为“剩余的部分”，符合语境，选C。
27. 根据后文“你正在吃的这道菜是给所有人的”，可知在中国大家是共享食物的，shares意为“分享”，选D。
28. 由转折词But可知，爸爸完全不知道要分享，把盘子里的所有食物都吃完了，everything意为“所有东西”，符合语境，选A。
29. 前文说爸爸要结账，此处表示付账单，固定搭配pay the bill意为“付账”，选D。
30. 作者全程目睹爸爸的一系列失礼行为，这辈子从来没有觉得这么尴尬过，never意为“从未”，符合语境，选C。
