I have happy memories of trips to Europe...

  I have happy memories of trips to Europe, but my trip to Romania was unique. My husband was born there, but his family sent him to study in Italy. He hasn’t seen his family since he was 16.

When we reached Bucharest, his family was waiting outside to greet us. After a lot of hugging, kissing, and crying, his family also embraced (拥抱) me, the American wife with two young children. They had great interest in me. Few Americans visited Romania at that time, and most Romanians had little chance to travel. His family loved our gifts. We made trips to the Black Sea and the Carpathian Mountains. Eating at outdoor cafes to the sound of gypsy violins was very different, but nothing was as unforgettable as family dinners.

Most Romanian homes had old-fashioned washing machines but no dryers. It was a hot summer. My husband’s relatives didn’t want to risk dirtying their clothes. Their solution was as simple as it was surprising: The women had dinner in their bras (文胸) and slips (衬裙). The men were shirtless. They all had jobs, so time was precious. Disrobing (脱去衣服) for dinner was a small inconvenience compared with the effort of doing laundry – at least in their household, and perhaps all across Romania. I washed my clothes by hand and hung them outdoors to dry. I, of course, having just met them, ate fully clothed.

On the last night of our three-week stay, we had a large family dinner. I was tired of washing my clothes. So I pulled my dress over my head and placed it on the chair behind me. The table applauded. Even with my poor Romanian, I understood that they were saying: “She’s part of our family now.”

1.When the author arrived in her husband’s hometown, _____.

A. his family showed no respect for her at first

B. she intended to talk to his family in English

C. she got extra attention from his family for her nationality

D. she found that she hadn’t brought enough gifts for his family

2.What surprised the author most during her visit to her husband’s family?

A. Most of his family members didn’t travel a lot at the time.

B. Women in his family had dinner in only their underclothes.

C. Most of her husband’s relatives didn’t like doing laundry.

D. They had old-fashioned washing machines but no dryers at home.

3.On the last night of the author’s stay, the family applauded her because _____.

A. the author disrobed for dinner as the family did

B. they just wanted to show their love for the author

C. the author could finally understand them easily

D. it was time for the author to give a speech

 

1.C 2.B 3.A 【解析】 试题分析:英文有句谚语“when in Rome do as the Romans do”,说的是入乡随俗。文中,我随着多年未回祖国的丈夫一起回到了罗马尼亚。受到家里人热情款待的同时,由于语言、习惯的差异,我闹了不少笑话。这些事如今想来,都成为了我独特而甜蜜的回忆。 1.推理判断题,根据They had great interest in me. Few Americans visited Romania at that time,,原文中作者丈夫出生在欧洲的罗马尼亚,自己是美国人,他们家人对作者的国籍很感兴趣,选C。 2.细节理解题。根据Their solution was as simple as it was surprising: The women had dinner in their bras (文胸) and slips (衬裙). 作者惊讶于丈夫家的女人们穿着内衣吃饭。选B。 3.推理判断题。根据On the last night of our three-week stay, we had a large family dinner. I was tired of washing my clothes. So I pulled my dress over my head and placed it on the chair behind me. The table applauded。丈夫家人鼓掌,因为这个美国媳妇也入乡随俗了。 A。 考点:异域文化类文章
