答案：【小题1】C 【小题2】E 【小题3】B 【小题4】A 【小题5】D
试题分析：短文大意：在泰国，人们不会像中国，日本和韩国用筷子吃饭。他们用勺子和叉子。他们从不使用刀子。人们会在饭前把大部分食物切好。如果你需要在吃时切割，先用勺子的一边，然后用叉子。 【小题1】细节理解题。根据后面一句话“People will cut most food before meals.大部分食物都是切好的。若要切食物的话可使用勺子和叉子的侧边”，可知此处的意思是他们从不使用刀子。C 【小题2】细节理解题。根据后面的意思 “If you are right-handed, keep the spoon in your right hand and the fork in your left hand.如果你是用惯右手的，那就右手拿勺子且左手拿叉子。”可知此处应填叉子和勺子的比较，选项E正符合。 【小题3】细节理解题。根据后文“The rice is not on the same plate with the other food. 米饭不是放在同一个碟子中。”可知此处是讲有关rice的，且是放在不同的碗里面。所以此处选B。 【小题4】细节理解题。下文提到的内容是有关主人会给你添加食物，此空放句首，有起到中心句的作用，归纳起来就是选项A。 【小题5】细节理解题。下文提到给你的邻座添酒水，而不是给自己的杯子添，可知此处应选D。 考点：社会习俗类阅读。
