　　答案解析：

　　1. B． A说：“很抱歉我迟到了，找到您的办公室相当的困难。”本题情境中A因迟到而感到很抱歉，根据英语交际语言习惯，B应礼貌的表示谅解。A项表达很粗鲁，不符合情境。C项不符合谅解的表达法。D项也不符合对于谅解的表达法。只有B项是正确的表达法。

　　2．B．老师“Richard，九点上课，你迟到了”学生“我知道，很抱歉我错过了公车”老师“______,你应该暗示到校。”可以推断老师没有因为学生的道歉而原谅他的失误，B项符合英语语言表达习惯。

　　3. B．A：“我昨天回来的很晚，希望没有打扰到你”，B项符合题意“不，我没听到任何声音”A项No, I heard a lot of noise.前面否定，后半部分却是肯定，自相矛盾。C项和D项Yes, I didn’t hear any noise.前半部分肯定，后半部分否定，自相矛盾。
