Question

【題目】

In Britain, people often invite friends for a meal, a party or just coffee. People who know each other very well close【1】, family or neighbors visit each other’s houses without an invitation (邀請), but usually an invitation is needed．【2】people invite someone to their homes, they often say: “Would you like【3】for dinner on Saturday?” Answers are: “Thanks. We’d love to. What time?” or “I’m sorry. We’d love to but we have tickets【4】the concert.” However,【5】is not polite to say “No, we wouldn’t!”

Sometimes, the British use expressions (表達) that sound like invitations but which are not invitations. For example: “You must come over for【6】drink sometime.” or “Let’s go out for a meal one of these days.” These are usually just polite【7】of ending a talk. They are not real invitations【8】they don’t mention an exact time or day. They just show that the person is【9】

to be friendly and the answers are: “Yes, that would be nice.” or “OK, yes, thanks.”

So next time you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen【10】. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?

【解析】本文講述了在英國，人們經(jīng)常邀請朋友，鄰居等來家里做客，但是也會出于禮貌發(fā)出一些假的邀請，我們可以通過文章了解有關(guān)“真假邀請”的事情，并能知道怎么去回應(yīng)別人。

【1】句意：彼此非常了解的朋友家人或者鄰居參觀彼此的房子的時候不用發(fā)出邀請。根據(jù)句意選friends。Close friends關(guān)系密切的朋友。

【2】句意：當人們邀請某人去他們家的時候，他們經(jīng)常說：“星期六來吃晚飯好嗎？”根據(jù)句意選When當···時候。

【3】句意：星期六來吃晚飯好嗎？Would you like_to do sth?你干什么好嗎？用于發(fā)出邀請，would like to do 故填to come

【4】句意:對不起，我們非常愿意去，但是我有兩張音樂會的票。For是介詞，ticket for the concert.音樂會的票

【5】句意：然而，說“No, we wouldn’t!”是不禮貌的。句型：It is +形容詞+（for sb）+to do sth.（對某人來說）做某事是···。It是形式主語。真正的主語是后面的動詞不定式to say “No, we wouldn’t!”。故填it

【6】句意：你一定找個時候過來喝點東西come over 過來；順便來訪;for a drink喝一杯； drink在這里是一個名詞。

【7】句意：這些通常僅僅是結(jié)束談話的禮貌的方式。Polite是形容詞修飾名詞，“方式，方法”,又因為前面是These are故填復(fù)數(shù)形式ways。

【8】句意：他們并不是真正的邀請，因為沒有確切的時間和日期。根據(jù)句意填because

【9】句意：他們只是表明這個人盡力表示是友好的。Trying to be friendly是動名詞短語做表語。

【10】句意：因此下次再聽到聽起來像邀請的時候，仔細聽。根據(jù)句意選careful,又因為該空修飾動詞listen，故使用副詞carefully。
