日常交际用语●精典题例解读［例1］（2002 NMET，21）—Good morning,Grand Hotel.—Hello,I’d like to book a room for the nights of the 18th and 19th.—______A.What can I do for you?B.Just a minute please.C.What’s the matter.D.At your service.【解析】本题检测考生在实际情景中运用英语进行交际的能力。
考生需要根据题干内容判断对话背景及说话者的身分。
这是旅馆服务员与旅客间的对话。
由于一些考生只注意到服务员与顾客之间常用What can I do for you?没有认真审题就选择了A项。
实际上是这位顾客通过电话询问是否可以定一间房间，服务员接到电话后，他需要查一下登记情况，所以正确选项应为Just a minute.A项为提供帮助，但在对方已明确提出要求时还问这样的话不合情理。
B项虽未正面回答对方要求，但也属于一种合理的应答：Just a minute…=Please wait for a while,I’m going to check it.C项用于询问有何问题或有何故障，用于此处语境显然不合适。
D项的迷惑性最大，但如果能够把握at your service这一说法的真实含义，即可做出准确判断。
请观察以下例子：If you need any help,I and my car are at your service.显然，at your service意为willing to help（乐意为您效劳，听候你的吩咐），本题中对方已经提出明确要求，（a room for the nights of…）,再说这样的话，实在是多此一举了。
【答案】B［例2］（2000 NMET，9）—Waiter!—______—I can’t eat this.It’s too salty.A.Yes,sir?B.What?C.All right?D.Pardon?【解析】Yes,sir?的意思是“先生，什么事？”以便知道对方的请求。
【答案】A［例3］（2002北京春季，21）—I’ve got your invitation.—Oh,good.______A.Can you come?B.Thanks a lot.C.I’ll take it.D.May I help you?【解析】对方说：“我收到你的邀请。
”Can you come?是问对方是否能来的日常用语。
Thanks a lot.是收到请帖应该说的话；I’ll take it.表示要收下；May I help you?是售货员问顾客的用语。
【答案】A●应用强化训练1.―How is your mother?―______.A.She is oldB.She is kind-heartedC.She is no better than she wasD.She is in her forties【解析】根据How is your mother?可以确定用she is no better than she was回答。

【答案】D5.―I’d rather have some wine if you don’t mind.―______？Anything you want.A.SurelyB.Of course notC.Certainly I doD.Indeed【解析】If you don’t mind是表示征求许可的日常用语。

【答案】C12.―______―What’s the matter?A.Hello!B.Is that Tom speaking?C.Help!D.Excuse me.【解析】从What’s the matter(怎么啦？出什么事了？)来推测对方一定遇到麻烦或意外情况而发出求救信号，故只能选C。
