【答案】What can I do for you?;When did she arrive?;Please wait a moment.;Have you ever been there to find her?;Can I take a message for you?
【解析】
(1)What can I do for you?根据下句Jack的回答Could you give us the room number of Mrs. Taylor, please?(请 你给我们泰勒夫人的房间号码好吗?)可知上句是宾馆接待员主动提供服务的问句即为What can I do for you?(我能为你做什么吗?)故填写:What can I do for you?
(2)When did she arrive?根据下句Jack的答语 She arrived yesterday.可知上句是接待员询问到达宾馆的时间,应用when提问,时态为一般 过去时,即表达为When did she arrive?故填写:When did she arrive?
(3)Please wait a moment. 根据上文接待员说Would you like me to call the room?(你要我给房间打电话吗?)及下句 Yes, please. That would be great. Jack很愿意这样做,所以空处应该是接待员在打电话,所以应该是叫Jack稍等一下, “请稍等”可表达为祈使句Please wait a moment. 故填写:Please wait a moment.
(4)答案:Have you ever been there to find her? 根据上句接待员的提议Why not look in the restaurant? (为什么不在餐厅里找?)及Jack的答语 I've been there already.(我已经去过那里了)可知空处接待员应询问你曾去那里(餐厅)找过她吗?根据答语 I've been there already可知问句也应用现在完成时,强调对于现在造成的影响,去过某地应用have/has been to,这里用there代指餐厅,there为副词故省掉to;此处主语为you,故助动词用have,疑问句提至句首,所以此句可表达为Have you ever been there to find her?故填写:Have you ever been there to find her?
(5)Can I take a message for you? 根据下句Jack的答语Yes. Could you tell her to call me when she comes back? (是 的,你能告诉她回来的时候给我打电话吗?)可知上句应是接待员询问给Jack带个口信怎么样,“带口信”或“捎口信”为固定表达take a message (for sb),这里是征求对方的意见应用问句,可用情态动词can完成这个问句,表达为“我能给你带个口信吗?”can提至句首,后跟动词原形,即Can I take a message for you?故填写:Can I take a message for you?
【题目】A)阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容,在文章后的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填1个单词。
Nowadays, many people in China and Japan are racing against time. They put a lot of value in “being on time”. However, in some countries of the world, people have different opinions on “being on time”.
Germany
Thanks to its industrial past, in Germany you are expected to arrive at least ten minutes earlier for any planned meeting. In Germany, being on time is risky enough because your hosts will probably already be there waiting, wondering how on earth you could be so stupid. What will you do if anything unexpected happens, like heavy traffic or a sudden rain? So remember to arrive early in Germany.
Saudi Arabia
Some countries care little about time and Saudi Arabia is one of them. It’s because of their long history of desert living where time is not the first thing to think about. It could be that it’s too hot to do anything on time. So don’t expect them to be on time. Moreover, looking at your watch during an event is even considered as bad manners. So don’t get angry with them, either.
Ghana
Most meeting times can be changed, even if an exact time is given. Ghanaians are very easygoing. They think that if everyone is late, then no one is late. After all, what can’t be done today can get done tomorrow. If you find it difficult to deal with, prepare to be unhappy.
Russia
Patience is considered a very important quality in Russian culture but being on time is not. When doing business in Russia, do be on time. Otherwise, it will be considered disrespectful. But Russians won’t hold themselves to the same standard. So, again, patience can be key.
