答案:1. C 2. E 3. D 4. B 5. A
解析:
1. 根据空格后和下面的回答“Everything is going OK”来看,应填“询问近况”的表达。C项是正确答案。
2. 根据空格后的问题和回答来看,应填入关于家庭情况的问句,E项为正确答案。How可用来询问情况,比如 How are you? How is everything? 等
3. 跟前两个空格类似。我们可以从回答中(“attend the international schools”意为“上国际学校”)判断是询问孩子的情况,因此D项正确。
4. “That’s very interesting.”是对别人回答的积极评价,表示自己对话题的兴趣。因此B项合适。
5. 别人回答过问题之后,要表示致谢。另外,根据最后的“Pleasure”(不客气)判断,此处应该是A项(意思为“谢谢你与我分享你的家庭情况”)。
