【解析】

短文大意：本文是说明文，以英国、日本、蒙古和阿拉伯国家的饮食习俗为例，说明不同国家的人们有不同的做事方式，告诉人们要入乡随俗。

1.句意：某事在一个国家是礼貌的，但在另一个国家可能是相当不礼貌的。

bad不好的；useful有用的；polite礼貌的。but表转折，根据下文“but it may be quite impolite in another但在另一个国家可能是相当不礼貌的”，可知这里是“礼貌的”，故选C。

2.句意：在英国，当你吃流质食物时，你不能把碗举到嘴边。

mouth嘴；nose鼻子；eyes眼睛。根据下文“when you are having some liquid food当你吃流质食物时”，可知BC两项不合句意，故选A。

3.句意：但在中国就不同了。

same相同的；different不同的；important重要的。but但是，表转折；根据上文“In Britain, you mustn't lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid food在英国，当你吃流质食物时，你不能把碗举到嘴边”，可知在中国不一样，故选B。

4.句意：在日本，你甚至不必担心在你吃的时候发出声音。

make faces做鬼脸；make noise发出噪音；make mistakes犯错误。根据句意语境，可知make noise符合句意，故选B。

5.句意：在蒙古如果你是一个游客，他们希望你有什么礼仪呢？

them他们；him他；you你/你们。根据“They wish you to have a loud burp他们希望你吃完后打个响嗝”，可知人称需用you，故选C。

6.句意：他们希望你吃完后打个响亮的“嗝”。

after在……之后；before在……之前；until直到，和not连用表示“直到……才”。根据上文“have a loud burp”，可知“打饱嗝是饭后的事”，故选A。

7.句意：在英国，你吃饭的时候应该尽量不要把手放在桌子上。

give给；put放置；bring带来。根据下文“your hands on the table你的手在桌子上”，可知put符合句意，故选B。

8.句意：你不能用左手吃东西。

needn't无需，指没有必要；mustn't不能，表禁止；couldn't不能/不可能，表许可或能力。根据下文“Arabs consider it very bad manners eating with left hands阿拉伯人认为用左手吃饭是很不礼貌的”，可知阿拉伯人禁用左手吃饭，故选B。

9.句意：阿拉伯人认为用左手吃饭是很不礼貌的。

good好的；strange奇怪的；bad坏的。根据上文“You mustn't eat with your left hand不能用左手吃东西”，可知用左手吃饭不礼貌，故选C。

10.句意：所以当你在其他国家的时候，仔细观察并跟随他们。

考查动词辨析。listen听，和to连用可接宾语；talk谈话；watch观看/观察。根据下文的解释“Do as the Romans do入乡随俗”，可知需仔细观察外国人的生活习俗，故选C。
