【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文中作者主要講述了英國人的社交禮儀問題。文章通過2012年的倫敦奧運會標語引出本文話題：激勵一代人。意在要求運動員和觀看比賽的觀眾等群體都能遵循英國的習俗，體現良好的文化素質。

1.根據短文第二段his is because they hope to inspire athletes to do their best and common people to do better in their daily lives.可知D項中的描述The Games are also inspiring lots of tourists to come to London.正好與之相銜接，故選D。

2.根據短文第二段Otherwise, you’ll end up in a right mess!包括下文的介紹都是如何遵循倫敦的禮節的內容，這句應該是向大家提供一些如何在英國表現的小技巧；故選A。

3.根據短文第三段Don’t talk about money:，本部分內容重點強調了在英國不要談論錢的問題，因為英國人討厭這個話題而且談論這個話題唄認為是不禮貌的，所以E項說永遠不要問別人的薪水，故選E。

4.根據短文第四段中The traditional view of the British sitting down for an afternoon tea is wrong. 既然傳統的觀點是錯誤的，那么自然很少有人再遵循這個傳統，故選B。

5.根據短文第六段The British are not like Frenchmen. When Frenchmen meet each other, they often give a kiss. 這兩句話表明，英國人不像法國人那樣以親吻來進行問候，所以本要點談論的是親吻問候的問題禁忌；故選C。

考點：閱讀填空。
