B
If you are invited to a wedding,baby shower or other celebrations,you will be expected to bring a gift.Unless you know the host very well,the gift should be modest in value,about $25 or so.
For a wedding,the bride will have “registered(登记)” at one or two local department stores,indicating the items she prefers.You can buy the couple a gift that isn’t listed,but most people buy something listed on the registry (记录簿).If you buy an item listed on the registry,be sure to tell the store that you are doing this,so that the couple doesn’t receive duplicate (重复的) gifts.For a baby shower,bring a gift appropriate for a new born baby.
If you wish to give a gift when you leave to return to your country,the best gift is something unique to your country.It does not need to be especially valuable or rare.Possibilities include a book about your country,an inexpensive piece of handicraft(手工艺品) or art,or something else that reflects your culture.If the children collect coins and stamps,they would be very pleased with a set of your country’s coins or a selection of stamps from your country.
If you owe a debt of deep gratitude to an American host family,a common way of repaying it is to take the family to a form of entertainment,such as a baseball,basketball,or a good restaurant.
Gift giving is not as important in America as it is in other countries,so there is nothing
wrong with not giving a gift.If you need help,talk to a salesperson at a department store.Tell them about the person who will be receiving the gift and the reason for the gift,and they will help you find something appropriate.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。本文主要说明了在美国不同的场合,比如:参加婚礼、婴儿洗礼、成年礼或其他的庆祝活动,你应该带什么样的礼物。
4.Why is collecting coins mentioned in the third paragraph?
A.To show the important role of coins as gifts.
B.To stress the popularity of coin collecting in America.
C.To give an example of selecting a unique gift.
D.To explain the relation between coins and culture.
答案C 解析推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“If you wish to give a gift when you leave to return to your country,the best gift is something unique to your country.”可知,如果你想在回国前送一件礼物,最好的礼物是属于你国家的独一无二的东西。下文列举的收集硬币是为了举一个选择独特礼物的例子。
5.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4?
A.Introduce a way to show gratitude.
B.Add some background information.
C.Summarize(总结) the previous paragraphs.
D.Recommend some family-friendly activities.
答案A 解析推理判断题。根据第四段“If you owe a debt of deep gratitude to an American host family,a common way of repaying it is to take the family to a form of entertainment,such as a baseball,basketball,or a good restaurant.”可知,如果你对一个美国寄宿家庭怀有深深的感激之情,一种常见的报答方式是带他们去参加娱乐活动,比如棒球、篮球或一家不错的餐馆。由此可知,第四段作者是想介绍一种表达感激的方法。
6.How does the writer develop the passage?

B.By giving examples.
C.By giving reasons.
D.By telling stories.
答案B 解析推理判断题。文章第二、三和四段分别列举了婚礼、回国带礼物以及想要表达感激三种送礼的场合来论述文章。由此可知,作者是通过举例子的方式来展开这篇文章的。

C.Where to buy a gift
