题目内容
— I’m sorry, I did not catch you.
— ______ repeat the sentence?
A.Would you like to |
B.Shall I |
C.Will I |
D.Do you want that I |
B
【解析】
试题分析:考查交际用语用法。shall是情态动词,用于第一人称,表示征求对方的意见。用在疑问句中,用来征询对方意见或请求指示的这种用法不能用will来替换。will用于疑问句中,常用在第二称时表示说话人向对方提出“请求”或“询问”。根据句意“要不要我重复一下这个句子……?”选项D不符合英语的交际中的用语,根据语境故选B
考点:考查交际用语用法及对于语境的理解。
点评:本题难度适中。命题者设置了一些干扰项考查学生对语境的理解,学生很容易误选AD。请你重复一下这个句子好吗?其实这句话如果是第一个人说出的可以,但是现在的空设在第二个人说的句子里。

The most frightening words in the English language are, “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I’m sorry, I can’t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”
“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”
“I can’t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”
I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all you people do?”
“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”
“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”
“That’s good, sir.”
“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.
“I have no idea. Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There’s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down it won’t answer us.”
After the girl told me they had no backup(备用) computer, I said. “Let’s forget the computer. What about your planes? They’re still flying, aren’t they?”
“I couldn’t tell without asking the computer.”
“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he’s flying to Washington, ” I suggested.
“I wouldn’t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn’t take you if you didn’t have a ticket.”
“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”
“I wouldn’t know, ” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only ‘IT’ knows. ‘It’ can’t tell me.”
By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.
