你绝对要掌握的热点口语(上)

交际口语是近几年高考英语单项填空的一个重要考点，每年必考，每省市必考。非常有趣的是，许多省市对交际口语的考查不仅考点相同，而且所涉及的句子也相同，有的热点口语，甲省考了乙省考，去年考了今年考。亲爱的同学们，猜猜看，别省的“老”题，会不会登上你省明年的考卷? ――It’s hard to tell and it all depends. 但是千万不要Forget it.

热点句一：Forget it.

今年的安徽卷有这样一道考题(答案D)：

―I’m terribly sorry I broke your glass.

―____________. (2005安徽卷)

A. That’s right B. Bad luck C. Sorry D. You can forget it

其实，去年全国有两套试题考查了此交际口语的用法，下面的第2题虽然侧重考查(you’d) better后接动词的正确形式，但考生若熟记了 you’d better forget it这一表达，做对此题显然是轻而易举的事(答案1―2 C A)：

1.―I’d like to take a week’s holiday.

―____________, we’re too busy. (2004全国卷Ⅲ)

A. Don’t worry B. Don’t mention it

C. Forget it D. Pardon me

2. If you are planning to spend your money having fun this week, better____________it―you’ve got some big bills coming.(2004广东卷)

A. forget B. forgot C. forgetting D. to forget

【备考归纳】 Forget it 是口语中一句极为常用的表达，它的主要用法有：(1)用于回答感谢，意为“不客气”；(2)用于回答道歉，意为“没关系”；(3)表示否定或拒绝，意为“不行”；(4)表示不想提及某情况或指某情况无关紧要等。在具体使用时，有时可有其他变体，如说成forget about it, you can forget it, (you’d) better forget it 等。如：

A：Thank you very much for your help. 多谢你的帮助。

B：Forget about it . 不用谢。

A：I’m sorry for what I said. 我为我所说的话道歉。

B：Forget it! I don’t remember anyway. 没关系，反正我也没有记住。

A：I’ll take the small truck. 我要开那辆小卡车。

B：And leave me to drive the other one? Forget it. 啊，让我开另外那辆?不行不行。

A：What’s he got to do with it? 这跟他有什么关系?

B：All right, forget it. 好吧，别提了。

热点句二：It (all) depends.

去年全国有两套试卷考查了此交际口语的用法(答案 1―2 BC)：

1.―How often do you eat out ?

―____________, but usually once a week. (2004天津卷)

A. Have no idea B. It depends

C. As usual D. Generally speaking

2.―How long are you staying?

―I don’t know.____________. (2004江苏卷)

A. That’s OK B. Never mind

C. It depends D. It doesn’t matter

其实，此句交际口语在三年前的上海卷中就考查过(答案B)：

―Will you do skiing with me this winter vacation?

―It____________. (2002上海卷)

A. all depend B. all depends

C. is all depended D. is all depending

你估计它会出现在今年的高考题中吗？请看：

―It’s cloudy outside. Please take an umbrella.

―____________. (2005湖南卷)

A. Yes, take it easy B. Well, it just depends

C. OK, just in case D. All right, you’re welcome

不过，此道题的答案不是B，而是C。比较：take it easy 不要急，慢慢来；it just depends 那要看情况；just in case 以防万一； you’re welcome 不用谢。像这样不是直接考查 it depends的用法，而是将其作为干扰项出现的情形，在各省的高考命题中也时有出现。如：

―What do you want to do next? We have half an hour until the basketball game.

―____________. Whatever you want to do is fine with me. (2004浙江卷)

A. It just depends B. It’s up to you

C. All right D. Glad to hear that

此题答案选 B。比较： It just depends 那要看情况； It’s up to you 这由你决定；All right 好吧； Glad to hear that 听到这事很高兴。

【备考归纳】 it depends 也可说成it all depends, it just depends, that (all, just) depends 等，有时甚至只说depends。主要用于表示某事或某情况还没有决定，得看情况而定，通常译为“这很难说”“那要看情况”。如：

I may help you, but that depends. 我可能会帮你，但那要看情况。

Sometimes we’re busy and sometimes we’re not so busy. It all depends.有时我们很忙，有时我们不太忙，这要看情况。

A：Are you going to the dance this Saturday? 这周星期六你去跳舞吗?

B：It all depends. Are you going yourself? 到时候看情况而定，你去吗?

热点句三：My pleasure.与 With pleasure.

今年的山东卷考了这样一道题(答案D)：

―Could you do me a favour and take these books to my office?

―Yes,____________.(2005山东卷)

A. for pleasure

B. I could

C. my pleasure

D. with pleasure

其实，类似的考题最近几年经常出现。如：

1.―Would you do me a favor and give me a ride?

―____________. (1997上海卷)

A. Yes, that’s right B. No trouble

C. Never mind D. With pleasure

2.―It’s been a wonderful evening. Thank you very much

―____________. (2002北京卷)

A.My pleasure B.I’m glad to hear thatC.No, thanksD. It’s OK

3.―Thanks for the lovely party and the delicious food.

―____________. (2003安徽春招卷)

A. No thanks B. Never mind C. All right D. My pleasure

以上三题的答案为：1. D2. A3. D

再看下面一题，It’s my pleasure是用作干扰项设置的(答案C)：

―Let’s go swimming, shall we?

―____________. (2001上海卷)

A. It’s my pleasure B. It doesn’t matter

C. Yes, let’s go D. I agree with you

【备考归纳】 my pleasure 与 with pleasure 仅有一词之差，但意义区别很大。my pleasure 主要用于回答感谢，意为“不用谢”“不客气”，它也可说成 it’s my pleasure, it’s a pleasure, it was my pleasure, pleasure was all mine 等；with pleasure 主要用于愉快地答应对方的请求或邀请，在美国英语中多用 Okay, Sure, Certainly 等，其意为“好的”“没问题”“十分愿意”。如：

A：Thank you for helping me. 谢谢你帮了我。

B：It’s a pleasure. 别客气。

A：Thank you for helping me yesterday!谢谢你昨天帮我。

B：My pleasure! Nice to see you again. 谢什么，很高兴再见到你。

A：May I borrow your car? 我可以借用你的汽车吗?

B：Yes, with pleasure. 可以。

热点句四：Speaking.

今年有两套题对这一句电话用话作了考查(答案1―2 CD)：

1.―Can I speak to Mr. Wang, please?

―____________. (2005全国卷Ⅰ)

A. Who are you? B. I’m Wang C. Speaking D. Are you John?

2. Tara：This is Tara Patel from Cotton House in Kidderminster. Could I speak to Mr. Smith, please?

Mr. Smith:____________(2005广东卷)

A.Hello. B.I’m Mr. Smith.C.Who are you? D. Speaking.

其实，此表达在早几年前的上海卷中就考查过(答案A)：

―Hello, may I speak to Bill, please?

―____________(1998上海卷)

A. Bill speaking. B. I’m Bill.

C. You’re speaking to Bill. D. I’m speaking.

【备考归纳】 当电话中要找的人正是接电话的人时，接电话的就会说“我就是”，这句话用英语来表达就是 This is Bill speaking (假若接电话的人叫 Bill)，也可省略成Bill speaking，甚至只说 Speaking。如：

―Oh, hello. Could I speak to Mary, please? 喂，请找玛丽接电话好吗?

―Yes, speaking. 我就是。

―May I speak to Mary? 请找玛丽接电话好吗?

―Yes, this is she ［her］ speaking. 我就是。

热点句五：Why not?

今年有两个省的考题对这一口语表达作了考查(答案1―2 BB)：

1.―Let’s go to a movie after work, OK?

―____________(2005山东卷)

A. Not at all. B. Why not? C. Never mind. D. What of it?

2.― How about putting some pictures into the report?

―____________ A picture is worth a thousand words.(2005江苏卷)

A. No way. B. Why not? C. All right? D. No matter.

其实，why not这一口语表达在去年的高考题中也不止一次地出现过(答案3―4 AB)：

3.―Let’s go and have a good drink tonight.

―____________ Have you got the first prize in the competition? (2004重庆卷)

A. What for? B. Thanks a lot. C. Yes, I’d like to.D. Why not?

4.―Do you mind if I open the window?

―____________I feel a bit cold. (2004广东卷)

A. Of course not. B. I’d rather you didn’t.

C. Go ahead. D. Why not?

【备考归纳】 Why not? 在口语中主要用于表示同意或赞成等，有时也可用来询问原因。如：

A：May I go with you? 我可以和你一起去吗?

B：Why not? 可以呀。

A：Let’s eat out tonight. 今晚我们出去吃吧。

B：Yes, why not? 那好啊。

A：Don’t touch it. 别碰它。

B：Why not? 为什么?

A：It’s hot! You’ll burn yourself. 那很烫，你会烫着的。

热点句六：Never mind.

今年全国有四套试题涉及了这一口语表达，其中全国卷是直接考查Never mind的用法，重庆卷、湖北卷和山东卷是间接考查其用法(答案1―3 ABDB)：

1.―Oh, dear! I’ve just broken a window.

A. Never mind B. All right C. That’s fine D. Not at all

4.―Let’s go to a movie after work, OK?

―____________. (2005山东卷)

A. Not at all B. Why not? C. Never mind D. What of it?

其实，never mind这一表达在去年的高考题中也出现过(答案C)：

―How long are you staying?

―I don’t know.____________. (2004江苏卷)

A. That’s OK B. Never mind

C. It depends D. It doesn’t matter

【备考归纳】 Never mind 在口语中有三个主要用法：一是用来表示安慰，意为“别着急”“不要紧”“没关系”；二是用来谢绝别人的提供，意为“不用啦”“别费事啦”；三是用来回答道歉，意为“没关系”“没什么”。如：

Did you miss the bus? Never mind, there’ll be another one in five minutes. 你没赶上公共汽车吗?不要紧,五分钟后还有一趟。

A：Can I help you with it? 要我帮你做这事吗?

B：Never mind. 别费心啦。

A：Sorry to have kept you waiting. 对不起，让你久等了。
