3. “Haven’t seen you for ages! Do you still work in Guangzhou?” “_______. It’s two years since I worked there.”
A. Yes, I have C. No, I haven’t
【陷阱】几个干扰项均有可能误选。
【分析】最佳答案为 D。要做对此题，首先要正确理解 It’s two years since I worked there 的意思。按英语习惯，since用作连词时，它所引导从句的谓语通常应是非延续性动词，若为延续性动词或状态动词，则它所表示的动作或状态的应是其完成或结束(而不是其开始)。如：
I haven’t heard from him since he lived in Beijing. 正译：自从他离开北京以来，我一直未收到他的信。 误译：自从他住在北京以来，我一直未收到他的信。 He has never come to see me since I was ill. 正译：自我病愈以来他还没来看过我。 误译：自我生病以来他还没来看过我。
由此可见，上面一题中It’s two years since I worked there 的实际意思是“我没在那儿工作已有两年了”。弄清此句的意思后，再结合上下文的语境，答案选D就不难理解了。
4. “I’ve never found a better job.” “_____.” A. I don’t think so B. Too bad C. Congratulations D. Don’t worry
【陷阱】容易误选B或D，主要是将上文的意思理解错了，即将其理解为“我从来没找到一份好工作”。
【分析】最佳答案为 C。I’ve never found a better job 的实际意思是“这是我所找到的最好的一份工作”，可视为 I’ve never found a better job than this job (我从来没有找到比这份工作更好的工作，即这是我所找到的最好的工作)省略。只要正确理解了这话的实际含义，答案选C也就不难理解了。请再看两题：
(1) “How do you like the food in this restaurant?” “Oh, _______. We couldn’t have found a better place.”
A. too bad
B. sorry
6 用心 爱心 专心
B. Yes, I do D. No, I don’t
C. wonderful D. impossible
答案选 C。We couldn’t have found a better place 的实际意思是“这是我们所能找到的最好的地方”，可视为 We couldn’t have found a better place than this place 之省略。
(2) “How do you like the food in this restaurant?” “Oh, _______. We couldn’t have found a worse place.”
A. too bad C. wonderful
B. sorry D. impossible
答案选 A。此题与上面一题仅差一词，即将 better 改成了 worse。We couldn’t have found a worse place 可视为 We couldn’t have found a worse place than this place 之略，其意是说“我们不能找到一个比这个地方更好糟的地方了”，言外之意，“这是最糟的地方”。
