22 / 24
16. 该段内容介绍了在法国做生意时学习法语的重要性，故该句应提出“法语学习很重要”这个话题。分析选项可知，G项（语言应该成为所有打算在法国做生意的人的焦点）的意思就是说法语的重要性。故G选项正确。
17. 结合下一句The French will sometimes introduce themselves using their surname first, followed by their first name.中的surname可知，本段与surname有关，分析选项只有C（Use Monsieur or Madame before the surname）与此相关，故选项C项正确（在姓之前使用Monsieur（先生）或Madame（女士）），故选C项。
20. 该段介绍的是进餐时需要注意的地方。
由下一句“This may suggest that you find the food tasteless”(你觉得食物无味时，可能你会添加一些佐料。)分析选项，可知E项（在食物中添加盐，辣椒或酱油要当心）符合你的食物没有味道时的反应，故选D项。
【点睛】七选五题型主要从两个方面来考察学生。把握整篇文章的布局和逻辑层次关系及把握微观信息间关联性（即空格前后句间关系。）所以在做这种题时要注意： （1）首当其冲看首段，跳过空格快速通读全篇，了解文章大意。
（2）精读空格前后两句。由于七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。如第4小题根据本段的第一句“The French are passionate about food, so lunches are common in doing business in France,”可知，法国人对食物很热衷，所以午餐在商业活动中很普遍，所以午餐时间是建立商业关系的最佳时间。故选B项。
（3）看选项，找出与空前空后句中心词同义，近义或相关性的词语，实现关键词的对接。
23 / 24
如第2小题根据所在段落中的surname可知，本段与surname有关，分析出正确选项是C项。
