　　Ⅳ.阅读理解

　　If you are invited to a formal dinner party in Paris，remember that the French have their own way of doing things，and that even your finest manners may not be “correct” by the French custom.For example，if you think showing up promptly at the time given on the invitation，armed with gifts of wine and roses，praising your hostess on her cooking，laughing heartily at the host’s jokes and then doing something to help the hostess will make you the perfect guest，you are wrong.

　　Here Madame Nora Chabal，the marketing director of the Ritz Hotel in Paris，explained how it works.

　　The first duty of the guest is to respond to the invitation within 48 hours.And，the guest may not ask to bring a guest because the hostess has chosen her own.

　　Flowers sent in advance are the preferred gift.They may also be sent afterwards with a thank­you note.It is considered a very bad form to arrive with a gift of flowers in hand，thereby forcing the hostess to deal with finding a vase when she is so busy.The type of flowers sent has a code of its own，too.One must never send chrysanthemums because they are considered too humble(卑微的)a flower for the occasion.Carnations are considered bad luck，and calla lilies are too reminiscent(缅怀往事的)of funerals.A bouquet of red roses is a declaration of romantic purpose.Don’t send those unless you mean it，and never to a married hostess.And though the French love wine，you must never bring a bottle to a dinner party.You may offer a box of chocolates which the hostess will pass after dinner with coffee.

　　If an invitation is for eight o’clock，the thoughtful guest arrives at 8∶15.Guests who arrive exactly on time or early are thoughtless ones who are not giving the hostess those last few minutes she needs to deal with details and crisis.The “correct” guest arrives between 15 to 20 minutes after the hour because dinner will be served exactly 30 minutes past the time on the invitation.

　　1．If you are invited to a formal dinner party in Paris，you’d better ________.

　　A．reply to it within two days and send flowers in advance

　　B．arrive exactly on time at the dinner party

　　C．bring a bottle of good wine to the dinner party

　　D．telephone to ask if you could bring a good friend to the party

　　解析：B项与最后一段意思相悖。C项与第四段倒数第二句意思相悖。D项与第三段末句意思相悖。只有A项与原文第三、四段首句意思相符。

　　答案：A

　　2．Which of the following is TRUE about sending flowers?

　　A．If someone is dead，send carnations.

　　B．If someone is ill in hospital，send calla lilies.

　　C．If you are invited to a dinner party，send red roses to the hostess.

　　D．If you are in love with someone，send red roses.

　　解析：辨别正误题。依据为第四段中的“A bouquet of red roses is a declaration of romantic purpose.”一句。同时可以由此判定C项不正确。carnation象征噩运，不宜送人，故A项错误。calla lilies会让人联想起葬礼，很不吉利，故不能送病人，所以B项亦错。

　　答案：D

　　3．If you are too busy to send flowers in advance，you should ________.

　　A．bring a bouquet of flowers when you go to the party

　　B．send a bouquet of flowers afterwards with a thank­you note

　　C．bring a bottle of wine instead of a bouquet of flowers

　　D．telephone to tell the hostess the truth

　　解析：细节理解题。见第四段第二句“They may also be sent afterwards with a thank­you note.”

　　答案：B

　　4．The text is mainly about ________.

　　A．how to hold a dinner party

　　B．how to send flowers

　　C．how to behave well at a French dinner party

　　D．how different countries have different manners

　　解析：主旨大意题。全文通篇都在讲参加法国宴会的礼节；首段是关于宴会上的“正确”做法，第三段关于答复邀请，第四段讲如何送礼，末段告诉你何时赴约。故C项为最佳答案。

　　答案：C
