交际英语全真试题
壹、交际用语的考查形式
一、给出问语,选答语(常考)
二、给出问语的一部分,补充完整问语 三、给出答语,选问语
四、给出答语的一部分,补充完整答语
说明:给出问语或答语的一部分,这就给了考生更多的提示,缩小了选择的范围,在一定程度上降低了试题的难度。在做类似考题时,应抓住题干中已有文字提供的信息,选择最符合题意的选项,排除干扰项。例如:
—Would you like another slice of Christmas cake? — I’m full. A. Yes, please. B. No more, thanks. C. Why not? D. Nothing more.
讲解:第一说话人询问对方“你要不要再吃一块圣诞蛋糕?”,根据答者的第二句话I’m full.“我吃饱了”,推断出前一句的答语应该是No more, thanks“吃不下了,谢谢”。而选项A,C表示接受邀请,D表示“没有什么(要说/做)的了”,均不符合题意,可直接排除。所以选B。
贰、交际用语的答题方法
一、答语的三个原则
在学习、使用和复习交际用语部分时,大家要掌握使用交际用语的几个原则: A. 礼貌原则
无论在任何场合、表达什么看法/情感,发话/发问和应答都要有礼貌,即使表达不同看法或批评意见,也要委婉间接表达,使对方听起来不刺耳,例如:
— Do you think I can use your car for one day? — . A. I’m afraid not. B. No, you can’t. C. I won’t let you do that. D. Absolutely not.
解析:此题第一说话人向对方提出请求“想借车一用”,对方如果不能答应,应该委婉地表示拒绝。因此选A。
礼貌原则还表现在拒绝一个请求的方式上:一种是委婉地回绝,上面例子“I’m afraid not”就是这种情况;另一种是先表同意,然后用“but”来个转折,表达出不同意的意思。例如:
I would like to,but… That’s a good idea,but…
B. 利他原则
在日常交际中,英语国家人民形成了一种习俗,即要尽可能为对方提供帮助和方便,对别人遇到的好事/成功要表示高兴,坏事要表示难过/惋惜,因此在交际用语中也要体现出来这种倾向,例如:
— I am going to the City Hall, can you tell me how to get there, madam? — . A. No, you don’t know B. I don’t know. C. Yes, you will. D. Sorry, I am new here too. But you can ask the policeman over there.
解析:此题第一说话人在向对方询问道路,按照利他原则,应尽可能为对方提供帮助和方便。所以选D,首先表示歉意,自己也不知道,同时给出一些有帮助的建议。

C. 文化遵从原则
在选择交际用语时,大家要有跨文化视角,也就是说,要克服本民族的习惯思维和应答模式,要使用得体的、符合对方习惯的方式来应答。例如: —Mary, your dress is really beautiful. How is John? — . A. Thank you very much B. No, no, John is not bad C. Thank you. He is fine D. Don’t say that. It’s ugly. John is good
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, 这与中国人的习惯和思维不太一样,所以选C。
二、排除法
交际用语部分试题的选项中,错误选项不但错得比较明显,而且有一定规律可循,这为我们在解题时使用排除法提供了机会。错项的类型大体有: A.选项明显违反上述三原则; B.选项本身语法错误;
C.选项议题与谈话主题无关;
D.选项虽然与谈话主题有关,但不能提供发问者要求的信息、态度或观点。例如: 1)— Mary, are you and your husband busy this weekend? — . A. this weekend we may go to cinema B. No, we’re not C. Oh, it’s none of your business D. Welcome to our party
讲解:Mary 的问题包含了“忙不忙”的询问,她可能想邀请对方作点什么。选项A属于上述D 的情况,虽然与提问句的主题有关,但并未直接提供“忙”还是“不忙”的信息;C 回答很不客气,显然违反礼貌原则;D 与谈话主题无关,最后只剩下B是答案。 2)— You are not the manager here, are you? — . A. Yes, I’m not B. No, I am C. Yes, I am D. No, not at all
讲解: 选项A,B 都属于本身语法错误,不看发问句也可以排除。D 语法无错,但不能提供发问句要求的信息,属错项,答案是C。
