　　参考答案&解析：

　　1、A　根据本段的第一句可推知答案。

　　2、C　根据本段的第一句可知，门的功能不同导致了文化差异。

　　3、D　根据第一段可知，本文主要是谈论各个国家“门”文化的不同;对比根据前段中Doors may have…functions和本句话后面的and they (指代空格内容) had distinct function，不难得出答案是D。

　　4、A　由于是与 go out of the building 相对，所以应是 enter the building 才对。

　　5、B　与前面3题的 different doors 相对，显然此处应是 the same door。

　　6、D　根据前一段中的This was new (not familiar, not experienced before ) to me 可知，对我来说，门的使用方式“也”很陌生(注：与new同义应是strange)。

　　7、B　根据由与之前列的 and students who were getting on should get on…可推知答案。

　　8、B　根据前面的first同时结合常识可知答案，即先下后上。

　　9、C　由前文可知，因韩国不必等别人下了再上的习惯，作者习惯这样了，所以看到校车将门打开后，就“无意识地”上车了。

　　10、A　由于周围所有的人都看着自己，自然就“感到尴尬”了，所以脸也就红了。
