模拟试题答案与解析
一、交际英语（共5题）
1. B
题干中第一句话的意思是：感谢你帮我做作业。选项A意为“没关系”；选项B意为“我很高兴（这样做）”；选项C意为“非常正确”；选项D意为“不要感谢我”。向他人表示感谢时，答语应该是“My pleasure.”或“It’s a pleasure.”因此，正确答案应该是选项B.选项D (Don’t thank me .) 是汉语的表达方式，可以排除。
2. D
题干中第一句话的意思是：请问这件衣服多少钱？选项A意为“噢，不。那样可以”；选项B意为“你买吗”；选项C意为“你喜欢哪一个”；选项D意为“你想试穿一下吗”。选项A与上文没有任何逻辑联系，不符合对话的常理，所以不正确。按常理接下来售货员应该问顾客是否想试穿一下（选项D），而不该说“你买吗”（选项B），因为这样说太突兀，或“你喜欢哪一个”（选项C）,因为顾客已经指明了就是这件，故选项B和选项C均可以排除。因此，正确答案应该是选项D。
3. B
题干中第一句话的意思是：外面太吵了，你介意我关上窗户吗？选项A意为“是的，请吧”；选项B意为“不介意，关上吧”；选项C意为“当然，请吧”；选项D意为“我不喜欢”。在向他人征求意见时，回答如果是不介意就应该是 “NO, go ahead.” (不介意，关上吧。)；回答如果是介意，则应该说 “Yes, you’d better not.”。所以，正确答案为选项B。
4. A
题干中第一句话的意思是： 我能和大卫•弗雷德讲话吗？选项A意为“我就是，请讲”；选项B意为“噢，你是谁”；选项B意为“我在听”；选项D意为“我是大卫”。在电话用语中，如果接电话的就是他本人，就应该说 “Speaking，please.” 或 “That is … speaking.”，所以正确答案应该是选项A。如果在电话中问“你是谁”，则应该说 “Who is that speaking?” 故可以排除选项B；如果说“我就是”，则应该说 “That is David (speaking). “ 选项C和选项D也可以排除。
