题目内容
—Will you go there with your parents?

| A.Not at all | B.Not exactly | C.Not nearly | D.Not likely |
D
解析试题分析:句意:--你将和你的父母一起去那里吗?--不可能,我将呆在家里准备我的语言考试。Not at all没关系;Not exactly未必是;Not nearly远非;Not likely不可能。根据句意故选D。
考点:考查交际用语的用法。
点评:本题难度适中。交际用语是高考的热点,对于这些用语都是用在特定的语言环境之下,要充分理解语境,才能做出正确的判断。交际用语部分的试题以对话的形式出现,测试考生掌握日常生活常见情景中的基本交际用语的能力。这里考生容易误选B。
即学即练:—May I turn down the radio a bit? —______, if you insist.
A. No B. My pleasure? C. All right D. That’s right
解析:C。上文在征询意见,请求许可。下文尽管有点不乐意,还是同意了。All right, OK都可以。如果没有if you insist,可以爽快地说Go ahead/Yes, of course.
The porter brings your bags to your room and helpfully explains all you want to know. Then he points to the phone and says, “If there's anything else you need, just call.” All this time you have been thinking one thing, “How much should I tip(付小费) him?” To make your next trip a little easier, here's a guide to tipping across some Asian countries.
Bangkok
In general, the more Westernized the place is, the more likely you will be expected to leave a tip. Some top-end restaurants will add a 10% service charge to the bill. If not, waiters will appreciate you tacking on(附加) the 10% yourself. However, if you're eating at a lower-end(低档的) restaurant a tip is not necessary. If you're staying at one of Bangkok's many five-star hotels, expect to tip the porter 20 to 50 baht(泰国货币单位), depending on how many bags you have. Taxis are now metered in Bangkok. Local custom is to round the fare(车费) up to the nearest five baht.
Hong Kong
Tipping is customary in this money-mad metropolis(大都市). Most restaurants add a 10% service charge to the bill, but the extra money often ends up in the pocket of the owner. If the service is good, add another 10% to the bill, up to HK $100 in an especially nice restaurant. For HK $10 hotel porters should do it at all but the nicest hotels where a new HK $20 bill may be more acceptable. When in a taxi, round up(凑整数) to the nearest dollar.
Kuala Lumpur
Tipping in Malaysia is limited to the expensive Westernized hotels, which often add a 10% service charge to your meal or hotel room. If you are at a hotel restaurant, expect a 10% service charge. But at local restaurants, there's no need to add a tip. At five-star hotels, one or two ringgit(马来西亚货币单位) will content a porter. At lower-end buildings don't feel you have to tip. Like Bangkok, many taxis are now metered so you can just round up to the nearest ringgit.
Seoul
Tipping is not part of Korean culture, although it has become a matter of course in international hotels where a 10% service charge is often added. If you're at a Korean barbecue joint(烧烤处), there's no need to add anything extra. But a nice Italian restaurant may require a 10% contribution. If you're at a top-end hotel, so expect to pay 500~1 000 won per bag. Taxi drivers don't accept a tip. Keep the change for yourself.
