第一题、A项更好.That"quite"saddened me就是A项的同义替换.而后一句是在解释美国银行的不情不愿的态度.其实是quite这个词表示出的那种不情愿的态度让我不开心.再说、你注意I wish we had hired someone else是虚拟(并不可能发生),而B项变成了可能的事件,不一样的.
第四题 an hour early in Japan 所以准时的是德国人呐.日本人先到为什么就不是准时 ?问题是问 punctual这个词意思是准时、严守时刻的、正点的,是指不早不晚(英英解释为acting or arriving or performed exactly at the time appointed)。对照原文最后一段中exactly on time in Germany。punctual =exactly on time ,所以....~

Some years ago,I was hired by an American bank.I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started,"Dear John,I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us."That"quite"saddened me.I thought he was saying"we're kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else."Then I discovered that in American English"quite"sometimes means"very",while in British English it means"fairly".
So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don't just mean the words people speak.It is body language,dress,manners,ideas and so on.The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures (文化).
Some of these differences may be only on the surface -- dress,food and hours of work -- while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with.Mostly,it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them,like the climate (气候),while getting on with business.
Some of the differences may be an improvement.People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again.However,other differences can be troubling,like punctuality (准时).If you invite people to a party at 7 o'clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany,five minutes early in the American Midwest,an hour early in Japan,15 minutes afterwards in the UK,up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece.I prefer not to use the word"late"because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive.It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.
52.The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought ________.
A.the American bank didn't think much of him
B.the American bank might hire another person
C.it's difficult to get used to American culture
D.it's easy to misunderstand Americans
53.The word"highlights"in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A.encourages
B.helps to narrow
C.increases
D.draws attention to
54.According to the author,what should we do with most cultural differences?
A.Ask the native people for help.
B.Understand and accept them.
C.Do things in our own way.
D.Do in-depth research.
55.When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are ________.
A.Italians B.Germans C.Greeks D.the British
第一题 B为什么不行 因为原文说的是I wish we had hired someone else
我是选A 对了 但觉得B不算错的
还有第4题 如果选项要是出现日本人 那要怎么选
