D.what for?‎ 答案　C　[从对话中的“You’re kidding”可知，此处表示对上一句的内容感到难以置信，因此选择come on，意思是“别逗了，算了吧”。so what“那又怎么样”，go ahead“开始做吧”，what for“为何”。]‎ ‎3.(2018·江苏卷)—What happened? Your boss seems to ________.‎ ‎—Didn’t you know his secretary leaked the secret report to the press?‎ A.be over the moon B.laugh his head off C.be all ears D.fly off the handle 答案　D　[根据对话内容可知，秘书向新闻界泄露了机密的报告，因此老板很生气，故选择fly off the handle“大发雷霆”。be over the moon“欣喜若狂”；laugh his head off“大笑不止”；be all ears“全神贯注地听”。]‎ ‎4.(2017·江苏卷)—What does the stuff on your T-shirt mean?‎ ‎—It’s nothing.Just something ________.‎ A.as clear as day B.off the top of my head C.under my nose D.beyond my wildest dreams 答案　B　[句意：——你T恤上的话是什么意思？——没什么，只是我即兴想出的一些东西。A项意为“一清二楚”；B项意为“不假思索”；C项意为“就在我眼皮底下”；D项意为“出乎意料”。“Just something off the top of my head.”意为“只是随便放的一些东西”，契合前文的“It’s nothing.”。]‎ ‎5.(2017·江苏卷)—Going to watch the Women’s Volleyball Match on Wednesday?‎ ‎—________！Will you go with me?‎ A.You there B.You bet C.You got me D.You know better 答案　B　[ 句意：——周三去看女子排球赛吗？——当然了！你跟我一起去吗？A项意为“表示打招呼”；B项意为“当然”；C项意为“你难住我了”；D项意为“你更加清楚”。B项符合题意。]‎ ‎6.(2016·江苏卷)—Only those who have a lot in common can get along well.‎ ‎—________.Opposites sometimes do attract.‎ A.I hope not B.I think so C.I appreciate that D.I beg to differ 答案　D　[句意：——只有那些有很多兴趣相投的人才能够友好相处。——恕我不同意，有时兴趣相反的人却能相互吸引。根据后面的Opposites sometimes do attract.可知，并不同意对方的说法。I beg to differ我可不同意，符合语境。I hope not我希望不是这样；I think so我认为是这样；I appreciate that我很欣赏，都与语境不符。]‎ ‎7.(2016·江苏卷)—Jack still can’t help being anxious about his job interview.‎ ‎—Lack of self-confidence is his ________，I am afraid.‎ A.Achilles’ heel B.child’s play C.green fingers D.last straw 答案　A　[句意：——杰克仍然忍不住担心他的工作面试。——恐怕缺乏自信是他的致命要害。Achilles’ heel致命要害，child’s play儿戏，green fingers园艺能手，last straw导致失败的最后一击。所以选择A。]‎ ‎8.(2015·江苏卷)—Jim，can you work this Sunday?‎ ‎—________？ I’ve been working for two weeks on end.‎ A.Why me B.Why not C.What if D.So what 答案　A　[句意：——吉姆，这个星期天你能工作吗？ ——为什么是我？我已经连续工作两个星期了。Why me 为什么是我；Why not 为什么不；What if 如果……又能怎样；So what 那又怎样；Why me是“Why do you ask me to work this Sunday”的省略。]‎ ‎9.(2015·江苏卷)—Why didn’t you invite John to your birthday party?‎ ‎—Well，you know he’s ________.‎ A.an early bird B.a wet blanket C.a lucky dog D.a tough nut 答案　B　[句意：——为什么你没邀请约翰参加你的生日聚会？——唉，你知道他是一个令人扫兴的人。an early bird早起的人，早到者；a wet blanket令人扫兴的人或物；a lucky dog幸运儿；a tough nut难对付的，难题。]‎ ‎10.(2014·江苏卷)—________ ！Somebody has left the lab door open.‎ ‎—Don’t look at me.‎ A.Dear me B.Hi，there ‎ C.Thank goodness D.Come on 答案　A　[句意：——天哪！有人忘了关实验室的门！——别看我。A.天哪！表示惊讶；B.嗨！这儿哪！表示打招呼；C.谢天谢地！表示庆幸；D.加油！表示鼓励；根据下文可以看出表示说话人的惊讶，故选A。]‎ 一、“3忌”少失误 ‎1.“一忌”上词下用 上词下用指的是答句部分沿用了题干句子的重点词、信息词，按表层意思似乎合情合理，但往往为错误的“虚像”，需经进一步分析后才能确定正确选项。典型的例子如用“I don’t.”应答“Don’t forget to come to my birthday party tomorrow.”，用“Don’t be sorry.”回答“I’m sorry I broke your mirror.”，以及用“No thanks.”回答“Thank you so much for the book you sent me.”等等。如何避免“上词下用”的误区，一是确认题目涉及的交际功能项目；二是确认句子上下文语境；三是确认正确的话语方式。‎ ‎2.“二忌”汉式思维 与上词下用比 较，这一误区更具迷惑性，因为无论按题目内容或是按思维方式来考虑，都非常符合汉语的习惯。显然，掌握英汉两种语言和文化之间的相同和相异之处，对于准确解题至关重要。解题失误之一就是按汉语的表达方式和结构去套英语，去选答案，这属于语言知识的“负迁移”。‎ ‎3.“三忌”直接回绝 这主要是指在对方要求得到帮助，提出请求或邀请时，回答过于直接，不够委婉、客气或礼貌，尽管从语义角度分析是没毛病的，但不符合英语国家的交际习惯，所以语法上正确的、汉语上讲得通的不一定就是正确答案。因此，情景对话的正确回答必须遵循“委婉、客气、礼貌”的原则，特别是在作否定回答时，为了表示礼貌和委婉，通常要用一些委婉词：如but，I’m afraid，I’m sorry，thanks，please，had better等等。‎ 二、“3法”得高分 ‎1.熟记常考情景 高考英语常考如下8种情景：询问信息、个人看法、电话、就餐、请求、问候、谈论天气、购物。熟练掌握上述情景的交际方式和常用表达，解决问题就能有的放矢。比如对于道谢及其答语有：Thank you very much./Thanks a lot./It’s kind of you to help me./That’s (It’s) all right./You’re welcome./Don’t mention it./It’s a pleasure./It’s my pleasure.等；对于道歉及其答语：Excuse me./I’m sorry./Pardon me./That’s all right./Not at all./Don’t worry about it./Never mind.等。‎ ‎2.分析题目语言环境，确保用语和谐一致 交际用语的考查主要设置在真实的语境中，做题时要考虑全面，要注意语境的和谐一致。特别要注意上下句的关系，不能只看到题目的一部分就得出结论。特别是对话，要看答语和问句是否一致。‎ ‎3.注意东西方文化差异，不要受汉语思维影响 东西方文化不同，教育不同，思维方式也不一样，表现在交际中也大相径庭。所以要从西方文化角度去思考问题，不要受汉语思维的影响。‎ 一、10年江苏高考常见交际用语 ‎1.Come on ‎(1)(用于命令)赶快，加把劲 Come on!

of the rarest materials on Earth and has always been considered a valuable and precious resource.It’s very likely that someone in your family owns something made of gold, especially since China is one of the world’s biggest buyers of gold jewellery.It’s even in our smartphones—they contain parts made from this expensive material.‎ But where does this beautiful metal actually come from? The answer：outer space.‎ This August, Chinese scientists became the first in the world to witness gravitational ‎ waves(引力波) caused by the collision of neutron(中子) stars, reported Xinhua News Agency.‎ The sight was witnessed at China’s Kunlun Antarctic Station at the South Pole, and Insight, China’s first X-ray astronomical satellite, also contributed to the discovery.‎ Although collisions of black holes have been recorded before, this was the first time that two neutron stars were known to have collided.It’s believed that such collisions lead to huge explosions of energy, and even to the creation of precious metals such as gold and silver.‎ ‎“The collision of neutron stars is like a very large gold factory in the universe，” Jin Zhiping，a researcher at the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told Xinhua.‎ According to an article published by space.com, scientists have long believed gold and other materials are created in this way, but it wasn’t until the recent collision that their theory was confirmed.‎ ‎“The origin of the really heaviest chemical elements in the universe had confused the scientific community for quite a long time，” Hans-Thomas Janka, a senior scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Germany, said in a news release.“Now, we have the first observational proof for neutron star mergers(合并) as sources.”‎ Indeed, the recently observed collision is thought to have produced an amount of gold that would weigh 10 times more than Earth, according to New Scientist.‎ Don’t expect to be showered in gold any time soon, however.The collision actually took place 130 million years ago, taking all that time for the event’s light to reach Earth.‎ But at least if you want to see a piece of space up close, all you have to do is to look at the ring on your mom’s finger—or the smartphone in your pocket.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　本文是科普说明文。黄金是地球上最稀有的物质之一，一直被认为是一种宝贵的资源。但是这种美丽的金属究竟是从哪里来的呢？答案是：外层空间。‎ ‎1.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the first two paragraphs?‎ A.To emphasize the rareness of gold.‎ B.To list some uses of gold in daily life.‎ C.To explain the reasons for the popularity of gold.‎ D.To interest readers about the source of gold.‎ 答案　D　[篇章结构题。根据第一段可知，作者介绍了黄金这种金属广受欢迎，中国更是黄金首饰的购买大国，智能手机中含有由这种昂贵材料制成的部件，第二段用问答方式提出话题，从而引出全文，故可知，前两段的作用是引起读者关于黄金来源的兴趣，选D。]‎ ‎2.What would the collision of neutron stars lead to according to Xinhua?‎ A.The creation of black holes.‎ B.The death of the stars.‎ C.The disappearance of gravitational waves.‎ D.The creation of gold.‎ 答案　D　[细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句It’s believed that...such as gold and silver.可知，这样的碰撞会导致巨大的能量爆炸，甚至导致黄金和白银等贵金属的产生。故选D。]‎ ‎3.What’s the text mainly about?‎ A.China’s Kunlun Antarctic Station does research into gold.‎ B.Collisions between two neutron stars result in gold.‎ C.Collisions contribute to the discovery.‎ D.Gold is considered a valuable and precious resource.‎ 答案　B　[主旨大意题。文章主要叙述了中国科学家首次发现中子星碰撞产生了引力波，这种碰撞能产生巨大能量，甚至能形成黄金和白银等贵金属，故选B。]‎ ‎4.What can we learn from the article?‎ A.The amount of gold produced by the collision was very small.‎ B.The collision was the largest reported in history.‎ C.China played a big role in the new discovery.‎ D.The collision took place 130 years ago.‎ 答案　C　[推理判断题。根据第三、四段可知，中国科学家在世界上首次发现了中子星碰撞产生的引力波，中国第一颗X射线天文卫星Insight也为这一发现做出了贡献。故选C。]‎ B ‎(2019·天一中学高考模拟)‎ To err is human.Society is suffering from an inability to acknowledge as much.‎ For individuals, errors are painful.The trick, then, is to err well：to recognize mistakes and learn from them.Worryingly, humanity may be getting worse at admitting its mistakes.‎ Few enjoy the feeling of being caught out in an error.But real trouble starts when the desire to avoid a punishment leads to a refusal to deal with contrary evidence.Economists often assume that people are sensible.When faced with a new fact, these people should update their view of the world to take better decisions in future.Yet years of economic research confirms that people frequently disregard information that conflicts with their view of the world.‎ Why should that be? Last year Roland Benabou, of Princeton, presented a framework for thinking about the problem.In many ways, beliefs are like other economic goods.People spend time and resources building them, and get value from them：some beliefs make owners feel good and show their public identity；other beliefs provide value by shaping behavior—for example, religious asceticism(禁欲主义) can help one avoid unhealthy habits.‎ Because beliefs, however, are not simply tools for making good decisions, but are treasured in their own right, new information that challenges them is unwelcome.People often engage in “motivated reasoning” to manage such challenges.Mr Benabou classifies this into three categories.“Strategic ignorance” is when a believer avoids information offering conflicting evidence.In “reality denial”， troubling evidence is rationalized(合理化)：real estate investors might make up fanciful theories for why prices should behave unusually, and supporters of a disgraced politician might claim the negative news to be fake.And lastly, in “self-signalling”， the believer creates his own tools to interpret the facts in the way he wants：an unhealthy person, for example, might decide that going for a daily run proves he is well.‎ ‎“Motivated reasoning” is a cognitive bias(偏见).Not all the errors it leads to are costly：praising the performance of one’s supported football team despite contradictory evidence does little harm.But when biases are broadly shared—within financial world or political parties—danger arises.Motivated reasoning helps explain why viewpoints polarize(两极分化) even as information is more easily available than ever before.‎ Work by Mr Benabou suggests that groupthink is highest when people within groups face a shared fate：when choosing to break from a group is unlikely to spare an individual the costs of the group’s errors or bring much individual benefit.The incentive(动力) to engage in motivated reasoning is high as a result.Even as the fact on a particular issue is obvious, parties can still become increasingly polarized.That, in turn, can make it harder still for a member of one party to get any benefit from breaking from a group.Indeed, the group has an incentive to silence independent voices.‎ Public statements of regret are risky in a rigidly polarized world.Admissions of error can not only annoy partners but also provide opportunities for opponents.But it is rarely in the interest of those in the right to pretend that they are never wrong.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　本文是议论文。我们都会犯错，正确的态度是勇于承认错误，认识错误并从中吸取教训。我们不能假装不犯错，但现实生活中人类在承认错误方面越来越糟糕。‎ ‎5.According to the passage, beliefs are similar to economic goods in that ________.‎ A.both are entertaining and valuable B.both can be shaped by religious faith C.both can reflect who the owners are D.both promote religious development 答案　C　[推理判断题。根据第四段In many ways, beliefs are...other beliefs provide value by shaping behavior可知，信念和经济商品的相似之处：人们花费时间和资源来构建它们，并从中获得价值。它们都能反映主人的身份和价值，故选C。]‎ ‎6.Which of the following is an example of “self-signalling”？‎ A.A fan speaks highly of his team although it has just lost the game.‎ B.A man covers his ears when stealing a bell, believing the bell won’t ring.‎ C.Supporters of Trump believe the news about his affairs with a lady is fake.‎ D.Suspected AIDS carriers refuse to be tested though it can be done for free.‎ 答案　B　[推理判断题。根据第五段in “self-signalling”，the believer creates...that going for a daily run proves he is well.可知self-signalling指的是信徒创造他自己的工具，以他想要的方式解释事实，并且举了不健康的人用跑步来掩盖事实的例子。选项中B项掩耳盗铃的例子就属于“self-signalling”，故选B。]‎ ‎7.What can be inferred from Paragraphs 6 and 7?‎ A.Polarization causes individuals to break from the group.‎ B.Richer sources of information decrease motivated reasoning.‎ C.Individuals with independent voices are dismissed from the group.‎ D.Individuals in a group engage in motivated reasoning for their own interests.‎ 答案　D　[推理判断题。根据第六段Motivated reasoning helps...more easily available than ever before.第七段that groupthink is highest...from breaking from a group.可知，动机推理有助于解释观点两极化更容易得到有效信息，更能在面临共同的命运时，不脱离群体，并且为自己的利益努力。故选D。]‎ ‎8.Which of the following opinions might the author agree with?‎ A.Denying errors is unavoidable.‎ B.Failure to admit errors is harmful.‎ C.Humans are getting better at erring well.‎ D.Wise people ignore contrary worldview.‎ 答案　B　[推理判断题。根据第二段The trick, then, is to err well：...at admitting its mistakes.和全文最后一句可知，我们应该认识错误并从中吸取教训。令人担忧的是，人类在承认错误方面可能越来越糟糕。我们不能假装不犯错误，由此可见作者认为不承认错误是有害的。故选B。]‎
