举例
It is sometimes said that the English are polite people. This can make life difficult for foreigners, suppose a foreign boy asks an English girl to go out with him and she says, "If I finish my work, I'll meet you in the care at 7 o'clock." Is she saying "yes" or "no" to his invitation?
In grammatical terms, she is using the conditional structure. By using the conditional, speakers of English can avoid giving a "yes" or "no" answer to a question. It enables people to be diplomatic. If the girl doesn't want to go out with the boy, she won't turn up at the cafe. She will let him understand she is still working. If she wants to go out with him, but doesn't want to appear too easy to catch, she has achieved that with her reply. But in this case, as she uses the first conditional which shows probability, she is quite likely to turn up at the cafe. Being polite can make life very difficult!
The conditional is often used by people in the news -- politicians, for example -- who wish to avoid speaking out their ideas. This is very important if they are on their way to discuss an agreement. No one wants to give away his or her points before he or she starts. A government spokesman might say to a group of workers, "If we could pay you more, we would." The use of the conditional here makes room for argument although the speaker is using the second conditioner form, which shows improbability. So it is unlikely the workers will get their rise.
“If” is a small word, which appears often in the English language. It can show politeness, reported speech arid conditionals such as the First probability -if I can come to your party, I will; the Second--- improbability --- if I saw you tomorrow, I'd give you the book; and the Third --
impossibility (meaning it is too late to change something that has happened ) --~ if you have told me, I would have helped you.
注：conditional structure 表示条件的从句 avoid 避免 diplomatic 婉转的
achieve 达到 politician 政客
1)Polite people can make a speech to understand.
A)more exciting B)easier C)quicker D)difficult
2)The English girl gives the boy answer

C) English people never speak out their idea D)“If” can show different meanings
5) This passage mainly talks about
A) Strange British people B) Spoken English
C) The Britain Life D) the conditional Communication
【答案解析】
1) D 从文中第一段可知
2) C 通过第二段的解释，可以看出，如果女孩接受邀请，也要让你明白她不是随随便便就出现（turn up）若不接受，则不会来，但从“If”引导这句话中，很难臆测。
3) B 从后句中“shows improbability”可知。
4) D 本文最后一段表达了“if”的三种意思。
5) D 全文围绕这一现象展开。
【趋势预测】中西文化交流最主要的载体是语言交流，而真正了解一种语言精髓莫过于研究其日常生活习语，这种现象应该是英语考试的重点，在各省市中考及高考考题中，文化意识方面的渗透越来越多，故本题中涉及的话题正迎合了这方面趋势。
【解题关键】
本文谈到了中西方文化的冲突问题，英语中的委婉语是颇使人头痛的。相信读过本文，就会惊诧这门语言的精妙的魅力。
解决此种题目，单从字面意思理解很难行得通，为正确理解文中出现的“单词都认识，但意思不晓的”的句子，务必细心观察文中出相的相应的注释和恰当的意境，凭着这些提示正确科学的猜词断义，是解题的关键。
