问题补充:
(·浙江嘉兴一模)—Can you tell me Sams telephone number?
—. Who is Sam? The newcomer?
A. I think so
B. Thats OK
C. Id rather not
D. Im afraid not
答案:
A. I think so
B. Thats OK
C. Id rather not
(答案→)D. Im afraid not
解析:选D考查情景交际。句意:“你能告诉我Sam的电话号码吗?”“恐怕不能。谁是Sam?新来的?”根据空后的两个问句可知,答话人不知道谁是Sam,故Im afraid not“恐怕不能”符合语境。
