2023年学位英语备考-阅读理解例题（一）

【例题】

   In most cultures，when you meet people you know for the first time during a day，it is usual to greet them. Once a young woman from England went to Hong Kong to work. When she first arrived，she knew little about the Chinese culture of language. On her way to school one day，she went to a bank to get some money. To her surprise，the bank clerk asked her if she had had her lunch. She was surprised at such a question because in the British culture it would mean an invitation to lunch. Between unmarried young people it can also mean the young man's interest in dating the girl. Since this bank clerk was a stranger to the British woman，she was very puzzled，and quickly answered that she had eaten already. After this she went on to school and was even more surprised when one of the teachers asked her the same question.

   By now she understood that it could not be an invitation but was puzzled as to why they asked it. In the following days she was asked the same question again and again and she spent many hours trying to work out why so many people kept asking her this. At last she thought that these people must be concerned about(关心) her health. She was rather thin at the time，and she thought they must be worrying that she was not eating well!

   In fact the question like that has no real meaning at all — it is only a greeting.

根据短文内容，判断句子的正误，正确的在括号内写“T”，错误的写“F”。

1. The young British woman went to Hong Kong for work.

2. The British woman went to the bank to get some money.

3. The bank clerk invited the young British woman to lunch.

4. The teacher's question made the British woman happy.

5. In fact the young British woman didn't know much about Chinese culture.

【答案解析】

T  根据“Once a young woman from England...”可知这年轻英国妇女是来香港工作的，故此句表述是正确的。

2. T  根据“...she went to a bank to get some money.”可知此句表述是正确的。

3. F  通过本文最后一句我们可以了解到，在中国问别人“吃了吗”是表问候，而不一定是真正的想请人吃饭。故此句的错误的。

4. F  根据“After this she went on to school and was even more surprised...”可知此句表述是错误的。

5. T  根据文章内容我们知道，这位英国妇女对中国文化不是很了解，所以对“if she had had her lunch”产生困惑。当然，中考英语阅读理解题的材料远不止这些种类，但只要运用了上面的基本的解题技巧，也能把这个题型做得很好。
