答案与解析:
1. C。Forget it是口语中一句极为常用的惯用表达，它的主用法有：1. 用于回答感谢，意为“不客气”；2. 用于回答案道歉，意为“没关系”；3. 表示否定或拒绝，意为“不行”；4. 表示不想提及某情况或指某情况无关紧要等。在具体使用时，有时可有其他变体，如说成 forget about it, you can forget it, (you’d) better forget it 等。
2. C。当电话中要找的人正是接电话的人时，接电话的就会说“我就是”，这句话用英语来表达就是 This is Bill speaking (假若接电话的人叫Bill)，也可省略成 Bill speaking，甚至只说 Speaking。
3. B。Why not? 在口语中主要用于表示同意或赞成等，有时也可用来询问原因。其意为“为什么不……呢？”
4. A。That’s [It’s] all right 是口语一句极为常用的惯用表达，主要用于回答感谢或道歉，它也可说成 That’s [It’s] OK, That’s [It’s] okay 等。
5. C。(It’s) no wonder (that)... 的意思是“难怪……”“……并不奇怪或十分自然”，其中的 no 有时也可换成 little, small 等。如：No wonder (that) he didn’t want to go. 难怪他不想去。No wonder you were late! 难怪你来晚了!
6. D。Help yourself 在口语中有两个主要用法：一是用作招呼客人吃东西时的客套话，意为“请随便吃”“请吃……”“别客气”等；二是表示客气地答应请求，意为“请自便”“自己拿吧”。
7. A。I couldn’t agree more表示完全同意对方的观点或看法等，意为“我完全同意”“你说得很对”。其反义表达是 I couldn’t agree less，表示完全不同意对方的观点或看法等，其意为“我完全不同意”“我绝对不同意”。
8. A。It couldn’t be better用于表示称赞或赞扬，其意为“这再好不过了”。
9. A。with pleasure 的意思是“高兴地”、“乐意地”。注意不宜选B，my pleasure 主要用于回答感谢，意为“这是我乐意做的事”、“不用客气”，也可说成 It’s my pleasure 或 It’s a pleasure等。
10. B。It all depends 的意思是“那要看情况”，也可说成 That depends。
11. D。not really 表示否定，但语气较轻，意为“不很……”。
12. D。I’d rather not 通常用于委婉地拒绝对方的邀请或提议。
13. C。从上下文语境来看，一方因音乐声放得太大已对另一方（正在写信）造成影响，所以选C较恰当。
14. B。with pleasure 主要用于回答请求或邀请。
15. A。no way 的意思是“没门”。根据上下文的语境(尤其是It was her fault)可推知。
16. A。That’s OK即可用来回答感谢也可用来回答道歉。在此意为“没关系”。
17. B。回答别人较客气的询问时，可用sure, certainly, of course等。
18. C。句意为“我能借用你的相机吗?”表示同意，此句用No problem 代替Yes, you can / may。
19. C。上句意为“非常感谢你送给我的礼物”，下句答语该表达“不用谢，不客气”之类。With pleasure意为“很乐意”是回答请求时的用语。
20. A 题中 why not 是表示邀请而非问原因，因此，不是回答原因而是应感谢别人的邀请。
21. A 由 Help yourself 可知不介意，故用 Not at all 回答。
22. D。At your service 意为“听您吩咐”。
23. D。excuse me 用作从别人面前经过时的礼貌用语，又如：Excuse me, could I get past? 对不起，让我过去好吗？
24. B。选项 C 和 D 既不语境，也不合英语表达习惯，故排除。选项 A 意为“我也一样”，选项 B 意为“也祝你如此”，根据语境，应选 B。
25. C。never mind 表示安慰，意为“不要紧”、“没关系”。
