（一） Advice for business meals with Chinese customers The Chinese have a saying, “Fan zhuo shang bu tan sheng yi,” which means “Don't talk about business at the dinner table.” That might not seem logical when we are talking about business meals, but another saying, "Fan chí hao le,sheng yi ye jiu hao le,” which means “Business can be easily done if you treat them to a good meal,” makes it clear. A Chinese business meal is mostly a social affair any talk of business will not start until long after the meal has begun, or is sometimes left for the end. Naturally, not too many negotiations are finished or contracts signed during this time, but you can still use the opportunity to strengthen your relationship, present your business or deal with various problems. The social aspect is important when doing business in China. Many business people and customers don't feel confident about working together until they know each other.Business meals can be large or small, formal or informal, and the way a meal is organised will show how individuals prefer to do things. One thing is for certain: most hosts will want to impress their guest with lots of food and plenty of good rice wine(1) (单选题)1.

题目解答

答案

1、A2、B3、B4、B5、A

解析

考查要点：本题主要考查学生对中国商务宴请文化的理解，包括其核心特点、目的及常见形式。需要结合文章中提到的“饭桌不谈生意”与“饭吃好了，生意也就成了”两个俗语，理解中国商务社交的隐含逻辑。

解题关键：

明确文章主旨：中国商务宴请更注重建立关系而非直接谈生意，宴请形式灵活多样。
细节对应：需将选项与文中具体描述（如“商务谈判很少在宴请中完成”“宴请规模和形式因人而异”等）精准匹配。
逻辑推理：通过俗语对比，理解“饭桌不谈生意”看似矛盾实则强调情感交流优先的逻辑。

第（1）题

关键句：文章开头提到“Don't talk about business at the dinner table”看似不合逻辑，因为这是“business meal”。
逻辑分析：选项A直接对应“business meal”的名称本身，说明“饭桌谈生意”与名称矛盾，因此显得不合逻辑。

第（2）题

关键句：文中指出“Business meals can be large or small, formal or informal, and the way a meal is organised will show how individuals prefer to do things.”
选项匹配：B选项“机会了解商业伙伴”对应文中“strengthen your relationship”和“know each other”的描述。

第（3）题

关键句：文中强调“you can still use the opportunity to strengthen your relationship, present your business or deal with various problems.”
核心目的：B选项“更好地了解商业伙伴”最符合文中“strengthen your relationship”的核心目的。

第（4）题

关键句：文中明确“Business meals can be large or small, formal or informal, and the way a meal is organised will show how individuals prefer to do things.”
否定干扰项：B选项“根据主人不同而变化”直接对应“how individuals prefer to do things”。

第（5）题

关键句：最后一段“most hosts will want to impress their guest with lots of food and plenty of good rice wine”是解题关键。
选项辨析：A选项“主人会坚持让你吃喝很多”与原文“impress their guest with lots of food”一致。
