【解析】

本文介绍了中国和美国的饮食习惯的不同。最好要“入乡随俗”。

1.句意：中国人有句谚语。

考查名词辨析。saying谚语；word说的话；sentence句子。根据“Eat good things for breakfast, eat a big meal for lunch, but eat 2 at dinner.”早餐吃的好，午餐吃的饱，晚餐吃得少。可知，这是一句谚语。故选A。

2.句意：早餐吃的好，午餐吃的饱，晚餐吃得少。

考查副词的比较级。little小的；less较少的；fewer较少的。由语境和动词eat可知，此处应该填副词的比较级。few没有副词的词性，排除；little当副词讲是“少量，少许”的意思。其比较级为less。故选B。

3.句意：许多美国人都认为一个人应该以丰盛的早餐开始新的一天，但他们对午餐和晚餐的看法不同。

考查名词辨析。languages语言；food食物；ideas看法。根据“…but their 3 about lunch and dinner are different.”，但他们对午餐和晚餐的 _______ 不同。可知，应该选择ideas看法。符合语境。故选C。

4.句意：大多数美国人只给自己很短时间吃午饭。

考查反身代词。ourselves我们自己；themselves他们自己；oneselves写法不对。根据“So they eat a small lunch.”所以他们吃了一顿小午餐。可知，此处是指大多数美国人给自己吃午饭的时间短。因此选择themselves他们自己；故选B。

5.句意：在中国，人们喜欢边吃边谈。

考查动词辨析。cooking烹饪；eating吃；playing玩耍。根据“Very often you can hear people talking and laughing…”你经常能听到人们谈笑风生。可知，此处是指人们喜欢边吃边谈。故选B。

6.句意：你经常能听到人们大声地说话和笑，他们只是在玩得很开心。

考查副词辨析。quietly安静地；hardly几乎不；loudly大声地。根据“and they are just having a good time.”他们只是玩得很开心。可以推知，此处是指人们在餐厅里吃饭时会大声地说话和笑。故选C。

7.句意：如果有人在餐桌上说话太大声，餐厅经理可能会出来要求他们安静。

考查动词短语。come in加入，参与；come out出来；come up with想出，提出。根据“ask them to be quiet.”请他们安静。可知，此处是指餐厅经理听到有人说话太大声时，会出来要求他们安静。故选B。

8.句意：晚饭后，一吃完就走，被认为是很不礼貌的。

考查连词。as soon as一……就……；until直到……为止；when什么时候。根据“You are expected to stay and 9 around the dinner table.”你应该留下来围着餐桌闲聊。可知，此处是指不能吃完就走，否则被认为是很不礼貌的行为。故选A。

9.句意：你应该留下来围着餐桌闲聊。

考查动词辨析。talk说话；tell告诉；speak说话。talk不及物动词，谈话，多和介词搭配使用；tell告诉，讲述，强调一个人说；speak演讲，发言，说某种语言。此处是指人们用餐后，围着餐桌闲聊一会。故选A。

10.句意：所以，如果你想礼貌一点，有句英语谚语说：“入乡随俗”。

考查形容词辨析。rude粗鲁的；kind慈祥的；polite有礼貌的。根据“When in Rome, do as Romans do.”可知，如果你想做到有礼貌，就要“入乡随俗。”故选C。
