【语篇导读】本文是旅游推介文章。它介绍了美国的幽静海边渔村RockHallo这是个好客

的，过着自给自足生活的小渔村。那里的人们，无论是富豪还是普通人，都有一个称之为“Rock

Hallwave"的风俗:无论见到是否熟悉的人都要面带微笑地挥手致意。

指代“RockHallwave"0

gUc

解析词义猜测题。根据第四段中的"asfriendlyaseveryoneelseinRockHall”可

知：“tough”与“friendly”意思相反，故选C项。

B.Anyoneinthetownisfriendlytoeachotherwhenevertheyare.

D.Anyoneinthetownisfriendlytoeachotherwherevertheyarefrom.

解析推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Itdoesn,tmatterifitisatruckoraBenz—you

justwave."可知:在RockHall小渔村中的任何人，无论是普通人还是富豪，（见面时）都相互友好

地挥手致意。此处“atruckoraBenz”应理解为“普通人、富豪”的代名词。

7.Whichofthefollowingisthebesttomatchthelastparagraph?

A.Practicemakesperfect.

B.DoinRomeasRomedoes.

C.Don'tjudgebyappearance.

知B项“入乡随俗”正确。
