【解析】

本文讲述了中国人很好客，当你拜访一个中国家庭时，他们会给你倒茶，拿吃的，陪你聊天，准备大餐，热情好客是中华文化的重要组成部分，正如孔子所说，有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？

1.句意：中国人民是最好客的人在世界上。

between在两者中间；among在……之中（多于三者）；during在……期间；根据“in the world”全世界可知，此处是用“among”，故选B。

2.句意：如果外国人访问一个中国家庭。

foreign外国；foreigner外国人；foreigners外国人（复数）；根据后文“They would be”，所以此处缺复数，故选C。

3.句意：他们会对作为客人受到的热情感到惊讶。

surprised惊喜的；surprise惊喜的；surprising惊喜的；根据“-ing修饰物，-ed修饰人”，结合“They would be”，所以此处用surprised修饰“they”，故选A。

4.句意：主人通常会为你沏茶，并为你准备点心。

serve节约；serving节约；serves节约；根据“the host usually makes tea for you”所以“and”连接两个动词，此处也用动词三单，故选C。

5.句意：家人也会和你聊天，不会让你感到孤单。

lonely孤独的（形容词）；alone独自（副词，形容词）；happy开心的；根据“feel”+形容词，结合“Someone in the family will also chat with you”家人也会和你聊天，所以此处是“孤独”，故选A。

6.句意：其他家庭成员会忙着为你准备一顿饭。

prepare准备；preparing准备；prepared准备；be busy doing sth表示“忙于做某事”，所以此处缺动名词，故选B。

7.句意：中国人用大餐招待他们的客人。

with和，用；as正如；for为了；分析句子“Chinese people treat their guests ___7___ a big meal”中国人 大餐招待他们的客人，所以此处用“with”，故选A。

8.句意：在餐桌上，客人必须第一个吃饭。

first第一；second第二；last最后；分析句子“On the table, the guests must be the___8___ to eat”在餐桌上，客人必须 吃饭，前文中国人如此热情，所以此处应该是第一，故选A。

9.句意：也许最令西方客人吃惊的事情之一就是中国主人喜欢为客人夹菜。

eastern东方的；southern南方的；western西方的；根据“which won't happen at western tables.”这在西方餐桌上是不会发生的。所以此处是西方的，故选C。

10.句意：中国家庭会让你有宾至如归的感觉。

get in their way妨碍他们；go out of their way费尽心思；lose their way迷路；根据“to make you feel at home”你有宾至如归的感觉，所以此处是费尽心思，故选B。

11.句意：请多吃点。

more更多；less更少；many很多；根据“It seems that you didn't eat much”好像没吃多少，所以此处是多吃点，故选A。

12.句意：但他们还是往你碗里放更多的食物。

although虽然；but但是；because因为；根据“You tell them you are full”告诉他们你吃饱了，和后文“they still put more food in your bowl”他们还是往你碗里放更多的食物，这两句话是转折关系，用“but”。故选B。

13.句意：热情好客一直是中国文化和传统的重要组成部分。

分析句子“___13___warm and hospitable has been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition.”此处缺主语，所以此处是动名词，故选C。

14.句意：孔子几千年前说过。

根据hundreds of 是“成百上千”之意，不是准确数字，只形容数量之多，前面不加数字，故选A。

15.句意：有朋至远方来，不亦乐乎！

happily开心地；unhappy不开心；happy开心的；根据How+形容词/副词+主语+谓语！结合“To meet friends from a place far away”见面的朋友从很远的地方，所以此处是开心的，故选C。
