1．where 考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词the West，同时在从句中作地点状语。

2．are placed 考查动词的时态和语态。句子讲述的是客观情况，要用一般现在时；主语the dishes与动词place之间是被动关系，所以要用被动语态。

3．to show 考查非谓语动词。主人用公筷夹菜给客人，这是为了表示对客人的礼貌。空处作目的状语，应用动词不定式。

4．left 考查非谓语动词。此处为with复合结构，空处作宾语the food的补足语，并且the food与leave之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以要用过去分词形式。

5．to 考查介词。be polite/impolite to sb.是固定短语，意思是“对某人礼貌/不礼貌”。

6．the 考查冠词。“fan”在汉字里表示“翻过来”的意思。此处表示特指，故要用定冠词the。

7．fishermen 考查名词复数。fisherman为可数名词，且其前无限定词修饰，故空处应用名词的复数形式。

8．separation 考查名词。空处前面有定冠词The修饰，再结合空后的of可知，空处应填名词。

9．extremely 考查副词。空处修饰后面的形容词useful，作状语，要用副词。 10．eastern 考查形容词。空处作定语，修饰后面的名词country，表示“东方的”，所以要用eastern。
