【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：在中国，当一名外国客人被邀请到餐厅吃晚餐，他不会被期待知道所有的传统的餐桌礼仪。但客人知道他们中的一些人，将会给他的主人脸面。通常，外国客人将被原谅因不知道用餐礼仪。如果他们不习惯用筷子，他们自然会被提供一个叉。然而，用筷子吃中国食品，似乎味道更好。虽然西方的习俗已经影响了中国的饮食习惯，但大部分的旧的传统仍然继续着。

1.考查动词及语境理解。句意：他不会被期望知道所有的传统的餐桌礼仪。allowed允许；found发现；expected期待；wanted 想。根据句意可知该选C。

2.考查疑问词及语境理解。句意：但客人知道他们中的一些，将会给他的主人脸面。whose谁的；which哪一个；whom谁，宾格；who谁，主格。先行词guest为人，在定语从句中做主语，所以选D。
