So where did table manners come from? In medieval England,a writer named Petrus Alfonsi took the lead to urge people not to speak with their mouths full.And King David Ⅰ of Scotland also proposed that any of his people who learned to eat more neatly be given a tax deduction(扣除). Disappointingly,that idea never caught on.It was during the Renaissance,when there were real technical developments,that opinions of correct behavior changed for good.“None of these was more significant than the introduction of the table fork,”wrote Hitchings.“Gradually,as forks became popular,they brought the new way
of eating,making it possible,for instance,to consume berries without making one's fingers dirty.” Forks were introduced to Britain in 1608 and 25 years later,the first table fork reached America.Yet while most of the essentials are the same on both sides of the Atlantic,there are a few clear differences between what's normal in the US and what holds true in the UK.For example,in the US,when food needs cutting with a knife,people generally cut a bite,then lay aside the knife and switch the fork to their right hand.Then they pick up one bite at a time.By contrast,Britons keep the fork in the left hand and don't lay the knife down. Though globalisation has developed a new and simple international standard of table manners,some people still stick with the American cut-and-switch method.The Los Angeles Times noted,"They are hanging on to a form of behaviour that favours manners above efficiency." 1.What does the passage mainly talk about? A.The importance of proper table manners. B.The development of table manners in Western countries C.Some unwritten rules of table manners in the US and UK D.Differences between American and British table manners. 答案B 解析：主旨大意题。从中世纪英国(In medieval England)到文艺复兴时期(during the Renaissance),再到1608年以及25年后(in1608and25 years later),作者讲述了 餐桌礼仪在西方国家的形成过程。 2.The underlined phrase“caught on'”in the passage probably means“ A.worked in practice B.became popular C.drew attention D.had a positive effect 答案B 解析：词义猜测题。上一段谈到了利用减税的政策来鼓励人们注意餐桌礼仪，可是 根据本段开头的Disappointingly一词可知，这一政策并没有产生理想的效果，也就 是说餐桌礼仪还是没有流行起来。 3.Which of the following events influenced people's table manners most according to the passage? A.The introduction of the table fork. B.The tax deduction policy
