(2016·河北省高考模拟考试)
Maybe you have heard the expression—When in Rome，do as the Romans do.So when you want to do business in France，you have to get to know French culture，to make marketing plans，and to run your business by local laws.
__1__The French take great pride in their language，so anyone who does not speak it may run the risk of being disrespected by his French colleagues or business partners.Also，another reason why learning French is important is that it is a great way to show every possible French business partner that you care and respect their country’s culture and language.
The first thing that you should do when meeting someone
new is to shake his hand firmly and always look the person in the eye.In social meetings with friends，kissing is common.
__2__The French will sometimes introduce themselves using their surname first，followed by their first name.
Dress well.__3__Your business clothing is a reflection of your success and social status.Always try to be tasteful and stylish.Women are advised to dress simply but elegantly.Wearing make-up is practised widely by businesswomen.
The French
are
passionate
about
food，so
lunches
are common in doing business in France，which usually consist of an appetizer，a main meal with wine，cheese，dessert and coffee，and normally take up to two hours.__4__
Do not begin eating until the host says “bon appetit”．Pass dishes to the left，keep wrists above the table and try to eat everything on the plate.__5__This may suggest that you find the food tasteless.If eating in a restaurant，the person who invites always pays.
A．The French draw information about people based on their appearance.
B．This is a time for relationship building.
C．Remember to be as polite as possible.
D．Language should be the focus of anyone planning to do business in France.

答案： C
3．解析： 这是it作形式宾语的一种特殊用法。少数动词如like，love，enjoy，hate，appreciate等后接宾语从句，必须先由it担任形式宾语，再接从句。
答案： D
4．解析： 由语境可知，不到20%为女性，也就是说大部分为男性，所以选A。in the majority为固定搭配，意为：占多数，过半数。

答案： D
13．解析： 考查动词的时态和语态。根据句中的hit和became可知，此处应用一般过去时，且injure与people之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用被动语态。
答案： A
14．解析： 考查非谓语动词。“be said/reported/considered/believed＋动词不定式”表示“据说/报道/认为/相信……”。另外，根据句意可知，poison这一动作发生在is said之前，故空处用不定式的完成时，选C。
答案： C
