British people place considerable value on punctuality. If you agree to meet friends at three o’clock, you can bet that they’ll be there just after three. Since Britons are so time conscious, the pace of life may seem very rushed. In Britain, people make great effort to arrive on time. It is often considered impolite to arrive even a few minutes late. If you are unable to keep an appointment, it is expected that you call the person you are meeting.
If you are invited to someone’s house for dinner at half past seven, it is considered good manners to arrive ten to fifteen minutes "late". An invitation might state "7 : 30 to 8: 00", in which case you should arrive no later than 7: 50. However, if an invitation says "sharp", you must arrive in plenty of time.
"Drop in anytime" and "come see me soon" are idioms often used in social settings but seldom meant to be taken literally. It is wise to telephone before visiting someone at home. Although it is not necessarily expected that you give a gift to your host, it is considered polite to do so, especially if you have been invited for a meal. Flowers, chocolate, or a small gift are all appropriate. A thank-you note or telephone call after the visit is also considered polite and is an appropriate means to express your appreciation for the invitation.
选项
A、send them a gift.
B、go to visit them again.
C、send them a letter or call them.
D、nothing, wait until the next invitation.
答案
A
解析
此题考查听细节的能力。此题很容易迷惑考生,他前面提到了Although it is not necessarily expected that you give a gift to your host,it is considered polite to do so.尽管并不是真的有必要给主人一件小礼物,但是这样主人会认为你很有礼貌。词题主要考核考生的Although的用法。考生应马上反应出其因果关系。此类有混淆难度的题在四级中出现的有上升趋势,不过大家不要急,主要还是塌实打好日常的基础。这样才能收到良好的效果。
