答案：
1. 答案為B。文章第一段的第一句是說(shuō)“每個(gè)國(guó)家都有自己的飲食風(fēng)俗，美國(guó)也不例外。”
2. 答案為A。答案查找的相關(guān)線索詞：on time(準(zhǔn)時(shí)) 和coffee and meat(咖啡和肉)。于是先在第一段的第二句中找到on time，并在該段的第四句發(fā)現(xiàn)coffee and meat，再看該句的語(yǔ)義：“因?yàn)榕魅擞?jì)算時(shí)間做飯，以便當(dāng)客人在預(yù)期的時(shí)間里到達(dá)時(shí)可以享受到最可口的咖啡和飯菜”，所以該說(shuō)法正確。
3. 答案為B。該問(wèn)題說(shuō)“當(dāng)一個(gè)婦女被介紹給一個(gè)年長(zhǎng)的男人時(shí)，她通常站起來(lái)�！贝鸢覆檎业南嚓P(guān)線索詞：woman(婦女)和an aged gentleman(一個(gè)年長(zhǎng)的男人)。于是先在第二段的最后一句中找到woman和old( aged的近義詞)。而該句說(shuō)的是“年長(zhǎng)的人的婦女”這種情況，而不是年長(zhǎng)的男人，所以該說(shuō)法不正確。
4. 答案為C。該問(wèn)題說(shuō)“在餐桌上，按醫(yī).學(xué)全.在.線網(wǎng)站quanxiangyun.cn照習(xí)俗男人應(yīng)為女人安排座位。”答案查找的相關(guān)線索詞：arrange chairs for ladies(為女人安排座位)或該短語(yǔ)的同義短語(yǔ)/句子。于是不難發(fā)現(xiàn)原文中并沒(méi)提到該動(dòng)作，所以答案為C。
5. 答案為A。該問(wèn)題說(shuō)“在正式的美國(guó)宴席上，盤(pán)子旁邊的刀，叉子和調(diào)羹按一定的順序擺放�！薄４鸢覆檎业南嚓P(guān)線索詞：knives, forks and spoons(刀，叉子和調(diào)羹)。于是不難發(fā)現(xiàn)在第三段的第一句發(fā)現(xiàn)knives, forks and spoons，并在隨后的一句發(fā)現(xiàn)提到了順序。該句說(shuō)“原則是按照它們擺放的順序使用�！�，所以刀，叉子和調(diào)羹是有擺放順序的。
6. 答案為B。該問(wèn)題說(shuō)“在正式的美國(guó)宴席上，盤(pán)子旁邊的刀，叉子和調(diào)羹的使用順序是從坐到右。”。這道題與前一題相關(guān)，在前一題我們已發(fā)現(xiàn)了涉及刀，叉子和調(diào)羹擺放順序的句子，而該句說(shuō)“從外到里”，所以應(yīng)是從右到左，而不是從坐到右。
7. 答案為C。該問(wèn)題說(shuō)“在正式的美國(guó)宴席上，面包通常和色拉和湯一塊兒吃�！�。答案查找的相關(guān)線索詞：bread 和soup。于是不難在原文的第三段的四句中發(fā)現(xiàn)“色拉和湯一塊兒吃”的說(shuō)法，但并沒(méi)提到面包，所以答案為C。
