1. “Don’t you believe me?” “______, I’ll believe _______ you say.”

A. No; whatever B. Yes; no matter what

C. No; no matter what D. Yes; whatever

【陷阱】容易誤選A。認為Yes 永遠譯為“是”，No 永遠譯為“不”。

【分析】最佳答案選D。在回答否定疑問句時，要特別注意 yes, no 的正確理解?；卮饄es 時，可視為 yes, I do 之類的省略形式；回答 no 時，可視為 no, I don’t 之類的省略形式。針對上題而言，“Don’t you believe me?”的意思是“你難道不相信我?”其答句 “Yes, I do” 的實際意思便是“不，我相信你”，這與 I’ll believe whatever you say 的意思完全吻合。注意，第二空不宜填 no matter what，因為它只能引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句，不能引導(dǎo)賓語從句。請再看類似試題：

2. “Would you mind if I _______ one of these books?” “_______.”

A. took; Certainly not B. take; Yes, of course

C. can take; Yes, please do D. may take; No, I’m using it

【陷阱】幾個干擾項均有可能誤選。

【分析】最佳答案選A。做對此題要注意兩點：一是would you mind 后接 if 從句時，從句謂語通常要用一般過去時（但 Do you mind if 后的謂語不用過去式）；二是對 would you mind… 的回答實際上是對 mind(介意)的回答，即肯定回答表示“介意”，否定回答表示“不介意”。請做以下類似試題：

(1) “Do you mind if I smoke here?” “_______. Go to the smoking room, please.”

A. Of course not B. Sure, why not

C. No, I don’t D. Yes, I do

答案選D。根據(jù)下文的 Go to the smoking room, please 可知說話者介意對方抽煙，故選D。

(2) “________, sir?” “No. Go ahead.”

A. May I use your dictionary

B. Do you mind if I use your bike

C. Would you mind opening the window

D. May I have a look at your new book

答案選B。注意答句中的 no 和 go ahead：no 表否定，否定 mind，即表示“不介意”，這與其后 go ahead 表示的同意剛好吻合。

3. “Haven’t seen you for ages! Do you still work in Guangzhou?” “_______. It’s two years since I worked there.”

A. Yes, I have B. Yes, I do

C. No, I haven’t D. No, I don’t

【陷阱】幾個干擾項均有可能誤選。

【分析】最佳答案為 D。要做對此題，首先要正確理解 It’s two years since I worked there 的意思。按英語習(xí)慣，since用作連詞時，它所引導(dǎo)從句的謂語通常應(yīng)是非延續(xù)性動詞，若為延續(xù)性動詞或狀態(tài)動詞，則它所表示的動作或狀態(tài)的應(yīng)是其完成或結(jié)束(而不是其開始)。如：

I haven’t heard from him since he lived in Beijing.

正譯：自從他離開北京以來，我一直未收到他的信。

誤譯：自從他住在北京以來，我一直未收到他的信。

He has never come to see me since I was ill.

正譯：自我病愈以來他還沒來看過我。

誤譯：自我生病以來他還沒來看過我。

由此可見，上面一題中It’s two years since I worked there 的實際意思是“我沒在那兒工作已有兩年了”。弄清此句的意思后，再結(jié)合上下文的語境，答案選D就不難理解了。

4. “I’ve never found a better job.” “_____.”

A. I don’t think so B. Too bad

C. Congratulations D. Don’t worry

【陷阱】容易誤選B或D，主要是將上文的意思理解錯了，即將其理解為“我從來沒找到一份好工作”。

【分析】最佳答案為 C。I’ve never found a better job 的實際意思是“這是我所找到的最好的一份工作”，可視為 I’ve never found a better job than this job (我從來沒有找到比這份工作更好的工作，即這是我所找到的最好的工作)省略。只要正確理解了這話的實際含義，答案選C也就不難理解了。請再看兩題：

(1) “How do you like the food in this restaurant?” “Oh, _______. We couldn’t have found a better place.”

A. too bad B. sorry

C. wonderful D. impossible

答案選 C。We couldn’t have found a better place 的實際意思是“這是我們所能找到的最好的地方”，可視為 We couldn’t have found a better place than this place 之省略。

(2) “How do you like the food in this restaurant?” “Oh, _______. We couldn’t have found a worse place.”

A. too bad B. sorry

C. wonderful D. impossible

答案選 A。此題與上面一題僅差一詞，即將 better 改成了 worse。We couldn’t have found a worse place 可視為 We couldn’t have found a worse place than this place 之略，其意是說“我們不能找到一個比這個地方更好糟的地方了”，言外之意，“這是最糟的地方”。

【答案與解析】

1. 選 A。with pleasure 的意思是“高興地”、“樂意地”。注意不宜選B，my pleasure 主要用于回答感謝，意為“這是我樂意做的事”、“不用客氣”，也可說成 It’s my pleasure 或 It’s a pleasure等。

2. 選D。It’s a deal 的意思是“就這么辦”、“一言為定”。

3. 選B。if so 為 if it is so 之略，意為“如果那樣的話”。

4. 選B。It all depends 的意思是“那要看情況”，也可說成 That depends。

5. 選D。not really 表示否定，但語氣較輕，意為“不很……”。

6. 選A。That’s very kind of you 意為“你太好了”、“你真是太客氣”，常用于感謝對方的友好提議。又如下面一題也選A：

“Can I get you a cup of coffee?” “______.”

A. That’s very nice of you B. With pleasure

C. You can, please D. Thank you for the tea

7. 選D。at your service 的意思是“隨時為您服務(wù)”、“隨時為您效勞”。

8. 選D。I’d rather not 通常用于委婉地拒絕對方的邀請或提議。

9. 選C。never mind 表示安慰，意為“不要緊”、“沒關(guān)系”。

10. 選D。第一空填 of course not，表示“不介意”；第二空要填 shall see，因為 if 引導(dǎo)的是賓語從句，而不是條件狀語從句，所以不能用一般現(xiàn)在時表示將來。

11. 選A。by all means 表示同意，意為“完全可以”。

12. 選D。excuse me 用作從別人面前經(jīng)過時的禮貌用語，又如：Excuse me, could I get past? 對不起，讓我過去好嗎？

13. 選A。若選B，則應(yīng)改為Thanks a lot；若選C，則應(yīng)改為 Thank you 或 Thanks；若選D，則應(yīng)改為 Thank you very much 之類的。換句話說，thank 用作動詞時，它是及物的，其后應(yīng)有賓語；用作名詞時，它通常要用復(fù)數(shù)形式。另外注意，英語中雖然可說 Thanks a lot，但習(xí)慣上不說 Thank you a lot。

14. 選D。甲要乙現(xiàn)在抽出幾分鐘，而乙說要等下午才有空——也就是說，乙現(xiàn)在抽不出時間，所以選D最適合。

15. 選C。從上下文語境來看，一方因音樂聲放得太大已對另一方（正在寫信）造成影響，所以選C較恰當。

16. 選C。Not in the least 意為“一點也不”。注意聯(lián)系下文的 I enjoyed it。

17. 選B，with pleasure 主要用于回答請求或邀請。

18. 選C。由句意推知。

19. 選B。does 相當于 likes to work with him。注意不能選D，因為 like 是及物動詞。

20. 選D。答話人由于沒有聽清問話人的 chat 一詞，故針對問話人的 have a chat with you，反問 have what with me？

21. 選 A。no way 的意思是“沒門”。根據(jù)上下文的語境(尤其是It was her fault)可推知。
