For Questions 1 through 5, select the two answer choices that, when used to complete the sentence, fit the meaning of the sentence as a whole and produce completed sentences that are alike in meaning.
It comes as no surprise that different cultures have certain behavioral norms;however, to an outsider, the specifics of these behaviors can often be ______.
连接词“however”表明空格处的词语应该与前文“no surprise” 形成对比,选项中表达“surprise”含义的词只有startling和unexpected,因此选择B和D。derisive意思是“嘲笑的,嘲弄的”,不符合句意。句意是,“不同的文化有特定的行为规范,这不足为奇;然而,对于外人而言,这些行为规范的细节特征却往往是让人意想不到的。”
