选项
答案Americans’houses，yards and even their offices can seem open and inviting．Yet in the minds ofAmericans．there are boundaries that other people are simply not supposed to cross
解析 inviting这个词在这里用的是考生不太熟悉的意思“有吸引力的”，跟“邀请”没有关系，所以构成了考生理解上的困难，不少考生写错，此外，seem写成了seen，cross写成了across，或者后半句写不出的也是典型的问题。boundaries一词虽难，但下一句中有出现，可以利用。
