高考情景交际解析 社会交往
解答社会交往用语题,无需复杂的语法知识,关键是结合有关背景知识,利用交际习惯作出选择。
1) —Excuse me, could you tell me the way to the British Museum?
—Sorry, I’m a stranger here.
—______. (辽宁2007)
A. Thanks anyway B. It doesn’t matter C. Never mind D. No problem

2) —I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.
—______, Bill. (2007全国卷II)
A. You’re welcome B. Go ahead C. Don’t mention it D. No problem
点拨:选D。对道歉的应答常见的有:That’s all right /That’s OK / That’s nothing / Never mind / It doesn’t matter / No problem等,意为“没关系”。而Don’t mention it是用来回答对方表示感谢时的用语。
3) —These books are too heavy for me to carry.
—______. (辽宁2006)
A. You may ask for help B. I’ll give you a hand
C. I’ll do you a favor D. I’d come to help
点拨:选B。考查提供帮助的表达。A和D项不符合交际用语的表达习惯;而do sb. a favor往往在请求对方帮忙时使用;give sb. a hand = help sb.帮某人的忙。
4) —Shall I give you a ride as you live so far away?
—Thank you. ______. (江西2005)
A. It couldn’t be better B. Of course you can

A. Mm, let me think. B. Oh, I beg your pardon?
C. You’re welcome. D. What do you mean?
点拨:选A。问路。本题考查了在真实语境中交际用语的使用。由答话者Oh yes!可知,回答者一下子想不起最近的银行是哪一家,故应说Mm, let me think。答句句意为:哦,让我想一想,对了,经过邮局,就在一家大市场旁边。
8) —It’s a long time since I saw my sister.

高考情景交际解析 特定语境
语言的应用不是静止的、机械的,只有在特定的语境中语言才能显示出它真正的意义。解答情景交际题时,最关键的是要准确地判断语境,作出合乎情理的回答。

A. Yes, I do B. Of course, I have
C. A quarter to ten D. No problem
点拨:选C。对方询问的是时间,A、B、D项都答非所问。
2) —We have booked a room for today and tomorrow.
—______, sir. (2007全国卷II)
A. I’m sure B. My pleasure
C. It’s all right D. I’ll check
点拨:选D。语境是在宾馆,服务员听到顾客已经预定房间的话后,需要查询一下登记情况,用I’ll check符合语境。
3) —My family usually goes skating for vacation. I like skating, but I want to try something different this year.

A. It just depends B. It’s up to you

点拨:分别选C、B。在以上两个考例中,如果我们不熟悉Take it easy (别紧张), It just depends (这要看情况而定), Just in case (以防万一), You’re welcome (不用谢), It’s up to you (你说了算)等表达法的意义,做这类题时就会无从下手,所以,平时要注意积累。
