The food in his restaurant was cheap and good, but nobody seemed to want to eat there.Then he did something that changed all that, and in a few weeks his restaurant was always full of men and their lady friends. Whenever a gentleman came with a lady, a smiling waiter gave each of them a beautiful menu. The menus looked exactly the same on the outside, but there was an important difference inside. The menu that the waiter handed to the man gave the correct price for each dish and each bottle of wine; while the menu that he handed to the lady gave a much higher price! So when the man calmly ordered dish after dish and wine after wine, the lady thought he was much more generous than he really was!1.

Three years later he became tall and strong. So he was sent to Africa as a soldier. He stayed there for five years and got some money. Then he came back to England and bought a shop in a small town. No people in the town went to Africa except him. And he hoped they thought he was a famous man and that they could respect him. The children often asked him to tell them some stories and his life in Africa.One day a few children asked him to tell them something about the animals in Africa. He told them how he fought with the tigers and elephants. His stories surprised them all and some policemen and workers went to listen to him. It made him happier. Just a man who taught geography in a middle school passed there. He stopped to listen to him for a while and then said, "Could you please tell us a rare animal, sir?""Certainly," said Mr. Turner. "One day I met a rhinoceros(犀牛)by a river…""Please wait a minute, sir," said the man. "There aren't any rhinoceros in Africa at all!""It's rare just because there aren't any!"6.

His wife was afraid that he would get sick if he continued like that, so she often tried to get him to take a vacation. At last she managed to persuade him to do so, and she hoped that he would be able to enjoy his vacation without any disturbance, so before they left, Mrs. Young went to see her husband’s secretary. She said to her, “My husband needs a vacation very much, so whatever happens, please don’t bother him with telegrams and letters about business problems while we are away. Just wait till we get back.”After Mr. and Mrs. Young had been away about a week, Mr. Young received a letter from his secretary which said, “Something terrible happened to your business, but I’m not going to bother you with it while you are enjoying your vacation.”1.

In a society where life continues year after year with few changes, the languages do not change either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all the new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.There are several major language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divided them differently. Th e languages in each family are connected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language. About 3% of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.1. The early language had many words and easy grammar.A. TB. F2. In the next few hundred years we can expect language to change a great deal.A. TB. F3. This article shows that language changes with changes in society.A. TB. F4.

FPassage 4People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for him or herself and for invited friends.People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread yourtowels around you; on the train you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you,Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.1. The home matters greatly to Englishmen.A:T B:F2. They love houses more than gardens.A:T B:F3. You want to tell others the space belongs to you.A:T B:F4. He placed his briefcase on the table.A:T B:F5. The writer tried to get back his space by taking all his papers out.A:T B:FPassage 5Three men traveling on a train began a conversation about the world’s greatest wonders.“In my opinion,” the first man said, “the Egyptian pyramids(埃及金字塔)are the world’s greatest wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools. They did not have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.”“I agree that the pyramids in Egypt are wonderful,” the second man said, “but I do not think they are the greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely. In seconds, they carry out mathematical calculations that would take a person a hundred years to do.”He turned to the third man and asked, “What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world?”The third man thought for a long time, and then he said, “Well, I agree that the pyramids are wonderful, and I agree that computers are wonderful, too. However, in my opinion, the most wonderful thing in the world is this thermos.”And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up.The other two men were very surprised. “A thermos?” they exclaimed. “But that’s a simple thing.”“Oh, no, it’s not, “the third man said. “In the winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot. In the summer you put in a cold drink and it stays cold. How does the thermos know whether it’s winter or summer?”1. The underlined word “thermos” in Chinese means “保温瓶”.A:T B:F2. That the three men could not agree on what the world’s greatest wonder was because they all had different ideas.A:T B:F3. The first man thought the pyramids were the most wonderful things in the world because they had been built with very simple tools.A:T B:F4. The third man thought a thermos was the most wonderful thing in the world because it cost less than a computer.A:T B:F5. The third man was not very clever because he could not think of anything to say.A:T B:FPassage6The workers who brought the girl to the orphanage (孤儿院) knew little about her. The streets where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else-to be independent. At twenty-one, she left the orphanage and began work as a secretary. And then, in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary, something special happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now her name, Mary Cheung, was known to everybody.Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. “My English just wasn’t good enough.” she says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her.Mary studied management at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong. Since 1987, she had spent a lot of time on photography. She has held several exhibitions of her work in many places-China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV, write for newspapers and bring up her family.The girl from the street has come a long way, but her journey is not finished yet.1. Before Mary Cheung was brought to the orphanage, she had lived in the streets for many years.A:T B:F2. The sentence “orphanage girls could be something” means that orphanage girls could be popular and successful.A:T B:F3. Her life changed in 1985.A:T B:F4. This passage is probably taken from a novel.A:T B:F5. Mary’s boyfriend was good at English.A:T B:FPassage 7Before you go to another country it is a great help if you know the language and some of the customs of the country.When people meet each other for the first time in Britain, they say “How do you do?” and shake hands. Usually they do not shake hands when they just meet or say goodbye. But they shake hands after they haven’t met for a long time or when they will be away from each other for a long time.Last year a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that the English people hardly shake hands. So when they met their English friends at the station, they kept their hands behind their backs, the English students had learned that the Germans shake hands as often as possible, so they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with them. It make both of them laugh.1. It is very helpful if you know the language and some of the customs of the country.A. TB. F2. English people usually shake hands when they meet every time.A. TB. F3. Usually English people don’t shake hands when they just meet or say goodbye.A. TB. F4. English people like shaking hands very much.A. TB. F5. This story is about languages and customs.A. TB. FPassage 8Americans with small families own a small car or a large one. If both parents are working, they usually have two cars. When the family is large, one of the cars is sold and they will buy a van.A small car can hold four persons and a large car can hold six persons but it is very crowded.A van hold seven persons easily, so a family of three children could ask their grandparents to go on a holiday travel. They could all travel together.Mr. Hagen and his wife had a third child last year. This made them sell a second car and buy a van. There are seven seats in the van, and the sixth and seventh seats are used to put other things, for a family of five must carry many suitcases when they travel. When they arrive at their grandparents’ home, the suitcases are brought into the room and the two seats can then carry the grandparents.Americans call vans motor homes. A motor home is always used for holidays. When a family is traveling to the mountains or to the seaside, they can live in their motor home for a few days or weeks. All the members of a big family can enjoy a happier life when they are traveling together. That is why motor homes have become very popular. In America there are many parks for motor homes.1. From the passage, a van is also called a motor home.A. TB. F2. Before Mr. Hagen and his wife bought a van, they sold their old house.A. TB. F3. A motor home is usually owned by a family with more than two children.A. TB. F4. Americans usually use motor homes to drive their children to school every day.A. TB. F5. Motor homes have become popular because they can let families have a happier life when they go out for their holidays.A. TB. FPassage 9Long, long ago there was a very foolish thief. Do you know what he did one day? When he wanted to steal the bell on his neighbor’s door, he walked up to the door, took hold of the bell and pulled hard. The bell made a very loud noise. The thief was afraid and went home.Then he sat down to think, “I must do something about the noise,” he said. He thought and thought. At last he had an idea. “Ah, I’ll put some cotton in my ears. Then I won’t be able to hear the noise.” The next day he went to the door of his neighbor, and took hold of the bell. This time he pulled even harder. The bell rang loudly, but the thief did not hear anything. With another hard pull he got the bell out. Just then the neighbor came running out.“Steal my bell? I’ll teach you a lesson,” the angry man shouted. And he hit the thief on the nose.The foolish thief did not know how the neighbor found out he was stealing the bell. “Why did he come out just then?” he wondered.1. The thief was trying to get a door with a bell on it.A. TB. F2. The thief put some cotton in his ears. He thought it would be safe for him to steal the doorbell.A. TB. F3. The neighbor ran out just because he knew his doorbell was being stolen.A. TB. F4. The neighbor hit the thief to punish him for stealing.A. TB. F5. The thief thought the neighbor couldn’t hear the noise the bell made.A. TB. FPassage 10Computers are useful machines. They can help people a lot in their everyday life. For example, they can help people save much time, and they can help people work out many problems they can’t do easily. Our country asks everyone to learn to use computers except the old people.Today more and more families own computers. Parents buy computers for their children. They hope computers can help them improve their studies in school. Y et many of the children use computers to play games, to watch video or to sing Karaoke, instead of studying. So manyteachers and parents complain that computers can not help children to study but make them fall behind. So computers are locked by parents in the boxes.In some other countries, even some scientists hate computers. They say computers let millions of people lose their jobs or bring them a lot of trouble. Will computers really bring trouble to people or can they bring people happiness? It will be decided by people themselves.1. The computer is a useful machine because it can help us a lot.A. TB. F2. Many teachers and parents complain that computers make the students and children fall behind.A. TB. F3. In this passage we know computers bring us happiness only.A. TB. F4. M any of the children use computers to play games, to watch video or to sing Karaoke.A. TB. F5. The last sentence of this passage means computers are strange machines.A. TB.

As he came out to the street, he felt very uncomfortable. Turning to his daughter, he said: “Why should one of my legs be longer than the other one?” The daughter looked at her father’s legs and said, “Y ou have put on two odd shoes!” When he heard this, the man was very happy and thought to himself: “What a bright daughter I have got!”Then he asked his daughter to go back to the house and got him another pair of shoes. When the daughter went back to the house, all she could find was one shoe with thick sole and one with thin sole. Taking the shoes to her father, she said, “It’s no use changing. These shoes are also odd, one with a thick sole and one with a thin sole.” The man listened and thought to himself: “It can’t help.

All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their combinations — the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary (文字的) style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and rude.1. The origin of language ________.A. is reflected in sounds and lettersB. is handed down from generation to generationC. dates back to the prehistoric periodD. is a problem not yet solved2. According to the passage, words are _________.A. visual lettersB. represented by soundsC. represented either by sounds or lettersD. signs called letters3.

The author of the passage advises us _________.A. to use words carefully and accuratelyB. not to use silly and rude wordsC. to become a slave of wordsD. to use emotional wordsPassage 3Many people believe they are supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, or about two liters. Why? Because that is what they have been told all their life. But a new report offers some different advice. Experts say people should obey their bodies; they should drink as much water as they feel like drinking.The report says most healthy people meet their daily needs for liquid by letting thirst be their guide. The report is from the Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academies. This organization provides scientific and technical advice to the government and the public.The report contains some general suggestions. The experts say women should get about two-point-seven liters of water daily. Men should get about three-point-seven liters. But wait — in each case, that is more than eight glasses.There is an important difference. The report does not tell people how many glasses of water to drink. In fact, the experts say it may be impossible to know how many glasses are needed to meet these guidelines. This is because the daily water requirement can include the water content in foods. People do not get water only by forcing themselves to drink a set number of glasses per day. People also drink fruit juices and sodas and milk. They drink coffee and tea. These all contain water.As you might expect, the Institute of Medicine says people need to drink more water when they are physically active. The same is true of those who live in hot climates. Depending on heat and activity, people could need two times as much water as others do.1. According to the passage, experts advise people to _______.A. drink eight glasses of water a dayB. drink as much water as they feel like drinkingC. drink a glass of water after each mealD. drink no less than eight glasses of water a day2. Most healthy people meet their daily needs for water by drinking _______.A. when they are tiredB. when they are sweatingC. when they are thirstyD. when they are hungry3. The Institute of Medicine usually ________.A. changes some traditional ideasB. announces some medical advancesC. provides scientific and technical advice to the government and the publicD. provides scientific and technical advice to the National Academies4. Which of the following is TRUE?A. People’s daily water requirement can include the water content in foods.B. The report does tell people how many glasses of water to drink a day.C. The experts say it may be possible to know how many glasses are needed to meet these guidelines.D. People can’t get water when they drink fruit juices and sodas and milk.5. People need to drink more water ________.A. when they are physically activeB. when they live in hot climatesC. when they are running long distanceD. all of the abovePassage 4Man has always wanted to fly. Some of the greatest men in history have thought about the problem. One of these, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo da V inci(达•芬奇). In the sixteenth century he made designs for machines that would fly. But they were never built.Throughout history, other less famous men have wanted to fly. An example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into the air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead, he fell to the ground and broke every bone in his body.The first real steps took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large”hot air balloon”. They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it?The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they travelled about eight kilometres.1. Leonardo da V inci ________.A. said that man would fly in the sky one dayB. built a kind of machine which never flewC. drew many beautiful pictures of birdsD. made designs for flying machine2. Eight hundred years ago an Englishman ________.A. made a kind of flying machineB. tried to fly with wings made of chicken featherC. wanted to build a kind of balloonD. tried to fly on a large bird3. In fact, the Englishman who tried to fly ________.A. lost his lifeB. flew only 8minutesC. got badly woundedD. succeeded in flying4. The very first air passengers in the balloon were ________.A. the King and the QueenB. two FrenchmenC. two animalsD. the Montgolfiers5. When did two Frenchmen rise above Paris?A. In December 1783.B. In September 1783.C. In November 1783.D. In the seventeenth century.Passage 5Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, then a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them.There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and so on.Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided (避免).We should keep away from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.1. ________ are formed little by little.A. Good habitsB. Bad habitsC. Both good habits and bad habitsD. Either good habits or bad habits2. The underlined word “them” in the first paragraph refers to ________.A. bad habitsB. good habitsC. childrenD. other persons3. Generally speaking, it’s difficult for one________ and easy for them _________ which should be avoided.A. to form bad habits; to form good habitsB. to form good habits; to form bad habitsC. to form such habits as will be good; to get rid of bad habitsD. to get rid of bad habits; to form good habits4. Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?A. Because habits are of great help to every one of us.B. Because a man can never get rid of a habit.C. Because it’s hard and sometimes even impossible to throw away bad habits.D. Because we are forced to do them again and again.5. According to the passage, early rising ________.A. has something to do with successB. is an easily formed habitC. is such a habit as should have been avoidedD. is such a habit as will be kept。

An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on — but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger that ever thought before.By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to go back to work.In the years following World War I honours were increasingly heaped on him.

It matters not what you inquire into, but when you once inquire into a thing, you must never give it up until you have thoroughly understood it. It matters not what you try to think of, but when you once try to think of a thing, you must never give it up until you have got what you want. It matters not what you try to carry out, but when you once try to carry out a thing, you must every give it up until you have done it thoroughly and well.If another man succeeds by one effort, you will use a hundred efforts.

James Watt had made the first widely used steam(蒸气)engine. He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were no units for measuring(测量)power.Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3,300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3,300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute.Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horsepower engine.6.The passagesays that Watt made the first widely used steam engine.A.TB.F答案:A7.Watt made up a unit of measurement based on the strength of a horse.A.TB.F答案:A8.Watt wanted to find a way to lift a 3300-pound weight.A.TB.F答案:B9.One horsepower would equal the weight a horse could lift.A.TB.F答案:B10.The title of the passageis "How the Term Horsepower Came into Being".A.TB.F答案:AThe residents of 24 Acacia Grove were dissatisfied with the condition of the property, so John Preston called a meeting to discuss things last week.

Many residents said that they were tired of telephoning the agent and tired of complaining about the flats. Although the agent was responsible for the flats, they thought that he didn't do enough. Therefore John was asked to write to the agent and say that they were disappointed with the management of the flats.The next service payment was due at the end of the month.

《大学英语》(B)全国统考复习辅导资料编写:宋永栋游颖胡娇四川大学网络教育学院二OO六年十月目录第一部分:复习要求(第1页)第二部分:考试内容复习指导(第1-54页)Ⅰ.日常交际用语(第1-23页)一、解题技巧二、交际用语模拟试题讲解Ⅱ.阅读理解(第23-36页)一、阅读方法二、阅读考题类型及相应的应答技巧三、例题讲解Ⅲ.词汇和语法结构(第36-51页)一、语法部分二、完型填空部分Ⅳ.写作部分(第51-54页)一、写作模块二、参考段落三、例题讲解第三部分:考试题型(第55页)第一部分总体复习要求为了更好帮助参加2006年11月份全国网络教育《大学英语》(B)统考学生进一步熟悉和掌握与统考相关的内容和技巧,我们对前几次统考试题(如难易度、重点难点等)进行了分析,并结合考试大纲及统考用书《大学英语》(B部分)的要求,组织编写了该复习指导资料。
该复习指导资料基本按照统考题型分板块讲解(包括各部分的考试要求、答题技巧、典型试题分析以及归类讲解统考用书B部分6套模拟题中试题)。
因此,这是专门为广大考生编写的一个针对全国网络英语统考的复习指导资料,而非用于学生平时巩固英语基础和提高英语水平的学习资料。
考生应在认真学习和掌握该资料的基础上,再回过头来做统考用书中B部分的6套模拟题(至少应该做完除作文以外60%的模拟题练习),这样才能确保考生在考试中遇到统考用书中出现的原题或相同知识点的试题时能够顺利完成,同时也为考生能够通过统考增添一份信心。
第二部分考试内容复习指导Ⅰ.日常交际用语日常交际用语是《大学英语》B统考试题中的第一部分,目的是检测考生在不同的情境中运用英语进行交际的能力。
该部分以选择题形式出题,包括10个小题,每题2分,共20分,考试建议时间为10分钟。
在复习该部分知识时,注意以下两个方面:一、解题技巧(一)探索答语的规律下面以实例来说明:A:“礼貌原则”。
无论你接受或不接受别人的帮助,无论你同意不同意别人的看法,也无论别人谈到是好事还是不好的事,你应答的话一定要有礼貌分寸,经常挂在嘴上是:―Thank you.‖, ―Yes, please.‖, ―No, thank you.‖, ―I am sorry…/ I am afraid…/ I would like…but…‖等答语。
e.g. —We are going to have a dancing party tonight. Would you like to join us?—.A. I’m afraid not. Because I have an appointment with my dentist tonightB. Of course not. I have no ideaC. No, I can’tD. That’s all set解析:这个题是说话人在邀请对方参加舞会,如果对方不能参加,通常委婉地表明态度,同时说明原因以示礼貌,因此选A。
B:“直扣主题原则”。
当询问的主题为时间、地点、人物、事物时,就要求直扣主题,提供所需要的信息,同时还要注意时态的一致性。
e.g. —What would you like as desserts, Carol?—.A. Yes, please.B. No, I don’t think so.C. Ice cream, please.D. Oh, I like it.解析:只有答案C 才回答了要什么作为甜食,所以答案是C。
这一类问题,注意问句中的特殊疑问词,如what, when, where, who, how many/much…等。
(二)排除母语的干扰由于英语和汉语之间存在一定的文化差异,在选择答语时,应尊重英语中的文化习惯,排除母语的干扰。
例如:— Alice, your hair design is really nice.—.A. No, noB. Yours is niceC. Thank you very muchD. My hair design is not nice at all解析:按照英美国家的文化,当受到他人的赞扬时,应该真诚地表示感谢,这也是对说话人的尊重。
如果一味谦虚说“不、没有、还差得远”等,反而就不礼貌了,这与中国人的习惯不太一样,所以选C。
二、交际用语模拟试题讲解交际用语在统考试题中,考察题型主要可分为以下三类:询问类试题,约占该部分考题36.7%了;看法类试题,约占该部分考题26.7%;功能类用语试题,约占该部分考题36.6%。
在下面的讲解中,我们按照这种分类,先分析典型示例,然后归类讲解蓝皮书六套模拟题中的相关交际用语试题。
三大类试题中各小类按在考试中出现的频率,从高到低排序进行讲解。
同学们在复习备考时,应尽量记住‘统考用书’中类似题例,记住几乎就等于得分20%,因为统考题约有二成来自‘统考用书’。
(一)询问类A. 请求、允许和应答【典型示例一】—Can I borrow your camera for a couple of days?—.A. Yes, you may borrowB. Yes, go onC. Sure, here you are. Enjoy your journeyD. It doesn’t matter译文:—能不能借你的相机用几天呢?—当然可以,拿去吧。
旅行愉快。
解析:此题属于“请求、允许和应答”这一交际功能的一个典型试题。
通常提问方式如下:提出请求:用“May /Can (或:could) I use/borrow/ask/see/take…(我可以…吗?)”回答请求:①用“Sure./Certainly./ Yes, do please. /Of course.可以,请便。
/当然。
)”表示同意对方的请求。
②用“I’m sorry, but…”(对不起,但是…)/“You’d better not.(你最好别这样。
)”表示回绝对方的请求。
只有答案C:“sure,here you are(当然可以,给你。
)”既符合题意,又符合英语用法习惯。
通常情况下,当第一说话人要向对方借、要某东西时,回答常用“Sure,here you are(给你)”或“Yes,help yourself(尽管用吧)”等,因此正确答案为C选项。
【典型示例二】— I wonder if I can ask you some questions about grammar.—.A. Oh, thank you.B. I don’t know either.C. What is it?D. Yes, of course.译文:—不知道我能否问你几个关于语法的问题呢?—当然可以。
解析:此题同属于“请求、允许和应答”这一交际功能。
提问方式如下:提出请求:用“I wonder /I am wondering if…(不知道我能否…?)”这个句型委婉地提出请求,回答请求:同上【典型示例一】解析:①②本题答案A:“谢谢。
”答案B:“我也不知道。
”答案C:“这是什么?”答案D:“是的,当然可以。
”所以,D既符合题意,又比较礼貌,正确答案为D选项。
统考用书(B部分)6套模拟题中同类型交际用语题解(以下简称模拟题解):1)Test 1-22(模拟题一,22小题)—Do you think I could borrow your dictionary?—.A. Yes, you may borrowB. Yes, go onC. Yes, help yourselfD. It doesn’t matter译文:—能借下你的字典吗?—好的,尽管用吧。
解析:此题第一说话人要向对方借字典,如果对方乐意借出自己的词典,最佳的回答是C:“Yes, Help yourself(尽管用吧。
)”,因此正确答案为C选项。
2)Test 1-29(模拟题一,29小题)—May I see the menu, please?—.A. That is the menu, sirB. Yes, please go onC. Here you are, sirD. Of course, sir译文:—请给我看下菜单,好吗?—先生,给您。
解析:此题第一说话人向餐馆服务员提出看菜单的请求,对方立即给出菜单,习惯用“Here you are(给您)”,因此正确答案为C选项。
注意:遇到一段对话,首先要弄清它发生的环境,尤其在网络英语统考中,选项全部是第二句应答语,从给出的第一句弄清对话发生的环境,找出应答语就易如反掌了。
例如:—May I help you, miss?—.A. Yes, you do.B. Please, thanks.C. No, thanks. I am just looking around.D. Oh, you’re so nice.从第一句可以看出,这段对话发生在商店,是店员招呼顾客的话语。
顾客只有要买与不买两种考虑,回答也要用符合英美人习惯的话语,答案是C。
再如,―Are you ready to order, sir?",提示对话发生在餐馆;―Can I speak with Caroline?",提示在打电话;―You have a nice house, Jane.‖,表明说话者第一次来到对方的家;―Officer, how can I get to Madison Street?"是向警察问路…等等。
3)Test 2-24(模拟题二,24小题)—Hurry up please, or I’ll be late?—.A. Sorry sir, but the traffic is thick nowB. Well, it’s alright, sirC. How can you say that, sir?D. Oh, we are going the right way译文:—开快点好吗,否则我就要迟到了?—抱歉先生,现在交通太拥挤了。
解析:此题第一说话人是在请求汽车司机开快一点。
如果回答是否定的,需要表示歉意并说明理由,因此正确答案为A。
4)Test 3-30(模拟题三,30小题)—Could I use your dictionary for a moment?—.A. It’s wellB. It doesn’t matterC. By all meansD. I have no ideas译文:—能用下你的字典吗?—当然可以。
解析:此题同样是第一说话人向对方借用字典,此时我们可以用“By all means”表示同意请求,因此正确答案为C。
5)Test 4-21(模拟题四,21小题)—Can you turn down the radio, please?—.A. Oh, I knowB. I’m sorry, I didn’t realize it was that loud.C. I’ll keep it down next timeD. Please forgive me译文:—能把收音机音量关小点吗?—抱歉,我没有意识到声音太大了。
