【53题详解】
考查时态，主谓一致和省略。句意：如果邀请客人去他家吃饭，主人可能会说：“这是我妻子做的最好的菜。”if引导的从句表示“如果主人邀请客人去他家吃饭”，是if the hst is asking a guest t eat at his hme，if引导的是条件状语从句，从句中主语和主句主语一致，且从句中有be动词时，可省略从句中的主语和be动词，因此空格处是asking。故填asking。

【58题详解】
考查代词。句意：但在西方，喝多少由客人决定。it is up t sb. t d sth.是固定句型，意为“由某人决定做某事”，其中it是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式，因此空格处是it，故填it。
【59题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：通常主人只是把香烟放在桌子上，而不是把香烟一个接一个地递给客人。guest是可数名词，不止一个，因此空格处用复数，故填guests。
