Period Ⅳ Using Language & Other Parts of the Unit 习语、委婉表达或地道表达 习语、委婉表达或地道表达常用于英语中。在听力选项中一般找不到一模一样的选项，这会使听力内容中跟正确答案密切相关的信息往往不是直接表达，而是通过委婉的地道表达，或者相反的信息来误导学生。这就要求学生正确理解听力信息，平时多多积累日常口语的地道表达，以及关键信息提示词(同义词、近义词、反义词)。 【对应训练1】 What is the man doing A.Offering help. B.Asking for advice. C.Making an appointment. [听力原文] M：Here，let me help you carry your bags. W：Oh，that’s all right.I can manage. M：Yes，but I’ve got two hands free. W：OK.Thank you very much. [解题思路] A [做此题时首先得审清楚题目，问的是对话中男士在做什么，而且听力信息中的I can manage以及I’ve got two hands free均是地道表达，很多学生可能听不懂是什么意思。前者指的是自己可以应付(不需要帮忙)，后者说的是现在两手空空，想帮忙。] 【对应训练2】 How does the man feel after retirement A.Lonely. B.Depressed. C.Relaxed. [听力原文] W：Hello，David.I heard you had just retired.Are you enjoying your retirement M：To be honest，I really feel down.Now that I am not working every day，I don’t know what to do with myself.
