练习一：
Speaker A: I'd love to come to your barbecue on Saturday but my cousin is arriving from Cali-fornia that day.
Speaker B: That's no problem. The more the merrier. I'm glad__________
A. I can hold such a barbecue for you
B. your cousin will be arriving from California then
C. we finally have a chance to get together
D. that you're too busy to my barbecue
C【解析】说话者A说：“我愿意出席你的周末野餐烤肉会，但我的表兄弟那一天从加利福尼亚来。”说话者B说：“那没问题。人越多越高兴。我们终于有机会相聚了。”言外之意，说话者B请说话者A和他的表兄弟一起来。
Speaker A: You'd better take the umbrella with you. It looks like it's going to rain.
Speaker B: Thank you__________
A. for minding me
B. for reminding me
C. for remembering me
D. for caring about me
B【解析】本题会话情景为致谢，要求考生能够辨别四个单词/短语的词义差别。A项中mind意为“留意，留心”，B项中remind意为“提醒”，C项中remember意为“记住”。D项中care about意为“关心”。会话情景表明，说话者A建议说话者B带上雨伞，因为天看起来要下雨了。据此推断，说话者B应是对其提醒表示感谢。所以B为正确答案。
Anna: Hi, Keith. How's it going?
Keith: __________. I lost my wallet, and it had all my ID and credit cards in it.
A. Not too bad
B. Not too good
C. Not very well
D. Not at all
B【解析]Not too bad是“还可以，不错”的意思;Not too good恰好与Not too bad相反，表示“不怎么样”的意思;Not very well是对询问身体好坏的否定回答;Not at all是回答他人致谢的用法，表示“不客气”的'意思。
练习二：
Johnny: Dear Tommy, why don't you come on holiday with us?
Tommy: __________
A. That's very kind of you ! I'd love to
B. How dare you invite me? I won't go
C. Yeah, thanks anyway
D. Whether I'll go or not is not your business, ok?
A 【解析】当我们接受别人邀请时，一般是首先表示感谢，然后再陈述能去不能去的理由。在这四个选项中B、D是一种非常粗鲁的说法，显然不符合正确选择;C项答非所问。
Waiter: Welcome, sir. May I help you?
Customer: _________
A. Thank you. I'll have fried tofu and stir-fried cauliflower.
B. Yes, please. I'd like a hamburger and a chocolate shake.
C. Sorry. I don't need your help, thank you.
D. If you want to help me, I'll be glad to accept it.
B 【解析】顾客到了餐馆，侍者问客人要吃什么。客人点了hamburger and a chocolate shake，符合当时的场合及语境。
Speaker A: Are you feeling better now?
Speaker B :__________.
A. Well, not too better yet, thank you
B. Well, not too good yet. Better than I was thought
C. Well, it doesn't matter. I am all right now
D. Well, never mind, I'm much better now
B【解析】A中的not too better yet不符合英文的表达习惯;C、D答非所问。B表示“虽不太好，但比以前好多了”，是最佳选择。
