七、你了解美国的聚会礼仪吗?阅读短文,选择正确的选项。
There are many fun parties in the USA. If you are invited to one, here are some tips to know.
Clothes: What you wear depends on (取决于) the party. For an outdoor party, nice jeans and a cool T-shirt are often OK. For a birthday party, you might need a dress or a nice shirt. Always check the invitation for the "dress code"!
Gifts: It's a kind gesture to bring a small gift. A bottle of soda, some flowers or a box of cookies are all great choices. You can even ask the host if you can bring a snack to share.
Time: Don't arrive early! It's OK to be 5 to 10 minutes late. This is called being "fashionably late" and it gives the host more time to prepare.
Manners at the Party: Eat with your mouth closed. Don't leave your spoon in your cup or bowl. After eating, don't pick your teeth in public. It's not polite. Just say "excuse me" and go to the restroom.
Have fun and be a great guest!

【分析】
这是一篇介绍美国聚会礼仪的细节类阅读理解题，解题思路非常清晰：首先先快速通读全文，明确文章从着装、伴手礼、到场时间、席间礼仪四个维度介绍美国派对的注意事项，之后带着每道题的题干关键词回到原文对应段落定位原句，逐一比对选项，排除不符合原文描述的错误选项，就能顺理成章选出正确答案。
【解析】
1. 第1题：题干询问想要了解派对的穿搭要求首先要做什么，定位到原文Clothes板块最后一句"Always check the invitation for the 'dress code'!"，A选项是户外派对的特定穿搭、B选项是生日派对的特定穿搭，都不是获知穿搭要求的首要步骤，因此选C。
2. 第2题：题干询问哪一项是适合带去派对的好礼物，定位到原文Gifts板块第二句"A bottle of soda, some flowers or a box of cookies are all great choices."，明确说明盒装饼干是合适的伴手礼，破损玩具、锋利刀具都不符合礼仪要求，因此选A。
3. 第3题：题干询问下午6点开始的派对应该几点到场，定位到原文Time板块第二句"It's OK to be 5 to 10 minutes late."，要求晚到5-10分钟，6:05刚好符合该要求，早到10分钟、晚到半小时都不符合礼仪，因此选B。
4. 第4题：题干询问用餐时的正确做法，定位到原文Manners at the Party板块第一句"Eat with your mouth closed."，嘴里含食物说话、大声笑都是不礼貌的行为，因此选B。
5. 第5题：题干猜测短语"don't pick your teeth"的含义，结合上下文描述：这件事在公共场合做很不礼貌，需要去洗手间完成，可知该短语指不要在众人面前剔牙，A吃完不要清洁牙齿、C不要忘记刷牙的表述都不符合语境，因此选B。
