答案與簡(jiǎn)析:
1. A。Get out of it!的意思是"別瞎說(shuō)了!",與后面的"the last person I can rely on"(我最不能依靠的人)在邏輯上一致。
2. C。從前面的"You must be thirsty."可知,這里關(guān)注的問(wèn)題是"渴不渴"的問(wèn)題,只有C(我真想喝一罐可樂(lè ))符合語(yǔ)境。D(我真想休息一會(huì )兒)所答非所問(wèn)。
3. D。前者想多看一會(huì )兒菜單,后者回答"Of course",表示同意;與之邏輯相一致的只有Take your time"別急;慢慢看"。It doesn't matter. 通常用于回答Sorry.。
4. C。前者想休假,后者回答說(shuō)"忘了這事吧",因為"we're too busy",沒(méi)時(shí)間。若選A,則后面應該是"you may take a few days off some weeks later"之類(lèi)的內容。其余兩項顯然不合語(yǔ)境。
5. B。意思是"當然可以,請問(wèn)吧"。Help yourself意思是"隨便吃",不合語(yǔ)境;其余兩項是漢式英語(yǔ)。
6. C。其含義是"我想我們過(guò)去沒(méi)有見(jiàn)過(guò)面"。而B(niǎo)項的內容"這不可能是真的"在此顯得有些沒(méi)有禮貌。
7. B。What a shame! = What a pity! D選項看起來(lái)是對的,其實(shí)它所表達的含義并不恰當:專(zhuān)門(mén)來(lái)買(mǎi)郵票,聽(tīng)說(shuō)沒(méi)有了,倒像沒(méi)事似的,至少不是最佳選項。
8. C。這是反問(wèn)句,表明答話(huà)者不相信結果會(huì )是那樣,這點(diǎn)可以從后面的內容(法國隊踢得更好)推知。
