语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的餐桌文化。就餐礼仪因文化不同而不同。
1．where 考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词the West，同时在从句中作地点状语。
2．are placed 考查动词的时态和语态。句子讲述的是客观情况，要用一般现在时；主语the dishes与动词place之间是被动关系，所以要用被动语态。
3．to show 考查非谓语动词。主人用公筷夹菜给客人，这是为了表示对客人的礼貌。空处作目的状语，应用动词不定式。
4．left 考查非谓语动词。此处为with复合结构，空处作宾语the food的补足语，并且the food与leave之间是逻辑上的被动关系，所以要用过去分词。
5．to 考查介词。be polite/impolite to sb.是固定短语，意思是“对某人礼貌/不礼貌”。 6．the 考查冠词。“fan”在汉字里表示“翻过来”的意思。此处表示特指，故要用定冠词the。
7．fishermen 考查名词复数。fisherman为可数名词，且其前无限定词修饰，故空处应用名词的复数形式。
8．separation 考查名词。空处前面有定冠词The修饰，再结合空后的of可知，空处应填名词。
9．extremely 考查副词。空处修饰后面的形容词useful，作状语，要用副词。 10．eastern 考查形容词。空处作定语，修饰后面的名词country，表示“东方的”，所以要用eastern。
Ⅱ.读后续写
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Once upon a time in my family, the Saturday after Thanksgiving was the start of our annual big tamale (玉米粽子)-making party. We made them to share with friends and neighbors.
Preparation began with Daddy and the cleaning of the corn_husks (外壳). First he boiled them and left them in the water overnight. No husk passed inspection without being soft enough for folding. The next day, the rest of us got to work. My brothers and uncles were on hand for cleanup duty. And there was much to clean up as we women prepared the dough (生面团) made of corn. We also prepared the meat for the filling. The dough had to be spread evenly across the husk，and each tamale folded carefully so it would not split open during steaming. According to the long-standing tradition — at least in my family — no one was allowed to leave the kitchen during the steaming. This could ruin the process. After all, no one wanted a bad tamale!
I thought the family tamale-making party would go on forever, but to continue a family_tradition,_you needed to have family. Mine had changed forever. My father, two of my brothers and my uncle died in a short span of time. Mom and I spent months in a state of sad loss. At Christmas friends asked, “Are we going to get tamales this year？” Passing tamales out to friends was one of the great joys of the season, after all. But we couldn't face it. Eventually, as the years went by, people stopped asking.
One afternoon, just before Thanksgiving, my mother and I pushed an empty shopping cart through the supermarket. I rounded the corner into the next room and found her standing in front of a counter: packages of dough, bags of corn husks, dried spices — all the materials for a perfect tamale.“It's time，” Mom said. I knew she was right. We set aside a Saturday to spend in the kitchen, just the two of us, alone with our thoughts.
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2．至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1：
When we laid everything out I fell into the old routine.
Paragraph 2：
My mother and I pronounced our tamale-making a success, full of loving memories from the past and hopeful wishes for tomorrow. 参考范文： Paragraph 1：
When we laid everything out I fell into the old routine. We were for cleanup duty ourselves as we went along. Of course Daddy wasn't there to deal with the corn_husks. They hadn't been cleaned; they hadn't been in the water. We lit a candle for our relatives in heaven and got to work filling and folding the tamales. Neither of us stepped out of the busy kitchen until the steaming was complete. By the end of the day, we had many beautiful tamales to share with our neighbors and friends. Paragraph 2：
My mother and I pronounced our tamale-making a success, full of loving memories from the past and hopeful wishes for tomorrow. You can be sure we are preparing for this year's tamales and our kitchen will be crowded once again. My grandniece wants to learn the family_tradition. Rule One：No one leaves the kitchen during the steaming! Life may change, but our family is forever bound together by love, memories and our favorite Thanksgiving dish.
