　　A. Yes, I think so. B. No, the news was unconvincing.

　　C. Not according to the news. D. Yes, the news has told a fact.

　　2. Speaker A: Hey. I'm sorry to interrupt, but there's something important I have to tell you.

　　Speaker B: _____

　　Speaker A: Not really. It's pretty important.

　　A. Can't it wait? B. Will you please leave me alone?

　　C. Why do you choose such a crucial moment? D. Don't you see, I am busy now.

　　3. Speaker A: I'm anxious to get started on my project. Can we discuss it sometime before the weekend?

　　Speaker B:_____

　　A. Why didn't you tell me earlier? B. Yes, that could be arranged.

　　C. I can't spend any time. D. Yes, it's easy to discuss it.

　　Speaker B:_____

　　A. Oh, I'm afraid I won't. B. No, have him call back later.

　　Speaker B:_____

　　A. No, I don't mind doing anything. B. Yes, all right. What do you suggest?

　　答案：

　　1. C。前半句否定，后半句肯定的反义疑问句在回答的时候，要根据事实回答。例如：They don't work hard, do they? Yes, they do. 不，他们工作努力。No, they don't. 对，他们工作不努力。从B的回答可以看出，B也认为经济有问题，所以首先排除A、D两项。B项"是的，新闻是靠不住的。"属于前后矛盾的选项，故答案为C。

　　2. A。通过"not really."这一回答可以看出，B的话语是一般疑问句，通过这一点可以排除C、D两项;B项和D项的回答都很不礼貌。故答案为A。

　　3. B。B、C、D三项都回答了问话，但C项不礼貌，直截了当地拒绝，回答得太粗暴。D项的语气不太好，不太谦虚，所以不选。A项没有明确回答问题。故答案为B。

　　4. B。意思是"不。让他稍后再打电话过来。"A项过于委婉，老板对员工不必用这种比较客气的语气。故答案为B。

　　5. B。意思是"好的，你建议咱们做什么呢?"。A项是对"Do you mind …"的回答;C，D两项都没有对他人的建议做出是与否、同意或不同意的直接回答。故答案为B。
