M: How long shall we stay at the Grand Canyon?

　　W: A day?（↗）

　　Q: What does the woman mean?

　　(A) We shall stay at the Grand Canyon for one day.

　　(B) Shall we stay at the Grand Canyon for one day?

　　(C) To stay at the Grand Canyon for one day is too short.

　　(D) To stay at the Grand Canyon for one day is enough.

　　正确的答案是B哦。

　　4．陈述句式一般读降调，用以陈述事实。若读升调，往往表示对所说事情的怀疑。如:

　　She lent him her car.（↙）（用以陈述事实）

　　She lent him her car?（↗）（表示惊奇、的怀疑，含有"Did she really lend her car to him ?"之意。）

　　5．有些一般疑问句的句式读作降调，实际上表示感叹。如：

　　Hasn't she grown!（↙）这句话实则表示：她成长得多快！

　　请看下面的试题:

　　M: Wasn't Sam's speech great!（↙）

　　W: Are you serious?

　　Q: What does the man say about Sam's speech?

　　(A) Sam's speech wasn't great, was it?

　　(B) Sam's speech was great, wasn't it?

　　(C) Sam gave a serious speech.

　　(D) Sam was not serious.

　　男人所表达的意思是啥？其实是对Sam发言之精彩发表感叹呢，也就是B选项。

　　有些一般疑问句句式也不需要回答，其功能也相当于陈述句，但肯定结构表否定，否定结构表肯定，而且传递了说话人浓烈的情绪。如：

　　W: Haven't you got anything better to do?（↗）

　　M: Ok, Mum, I'll turn off the TV and begin to do my homework.

　　显然，妈妈的意思是责备儿子不应该看电视，而应该做比看电视更有益的事——也就是说，妈妈认为儿子有更好的事可做。而对话中，儿子当然也明白妈妈的意思，因此说要关掉电视，开始做功课。

　　今天说了那么多，不知道大家都明白记牢了吗？总而言之，只要我们在内心树立起重视语调问题的意识，经过不断的学习和积累，一定能成功将其内化！
