【題目】 Some effective ways to Meet New People

It is universally acknowledged that first impressions matter a lot. If you want to know how to meet people, just follow these steps.

◆Live in the moment.

To meet new people, the first thing you have to do is enjoy the present moment of the new conversation. Let go of your expectations and fears. 【1】

When you approach a new person, don’t ask yourself, “How do I look?” or “How do I sound?” Instead, ask, “What would this person like to talk about?” or “What matters to this person?”

◆ 【2】

If you keep up your confidence, people feel that you’re a person who is worth talking to. You should be confident before you walk into a room with new people in it and build your confidence as the conversation goes along. Just smile, talk about the things that you love, and show everyone that you love who you are, where you are, and what you do.

【3】 Stand tall, maintain eye contact, and don’t fidget (煩躁) with your hands or look at the floor. When you introduce yourself, speak clearly and loudly enough that you’ll be heard.

◆Be positive.

【4】 You should smile from time to time. Talk about the things you love, the things that make you happy, and your interests to keep people engaged.

Don’t talk about your longstanding hatred for a certain teacher, or classmate. 【5】 The occasional “That’s so true!” or “I know exactly what you mean!” will be far more positive.

A.Stay confident.

B.Communicate in a fun and casual way.

C.Body language can help you stay confident.

D.They can prevent a conversation from unfolding smoothly.

E.Don't ask for the person's number in the middle of the conversation.

F.Maintaining a positive attitude will make people want to talk to you.

G.Don't nod and agree with what the person is saying every five seconds.

【4】F

【5】G

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一些與新結(jié)識的人談話時的建議。

【1】根據(jù)前文“Let go of your expectations and fears.”可知，要放下你的期望和恐懼，可推知設(shè)空句應(yīng)是對“為什么放下期望和恐懼”做出解釋。選項D. They can prevent a conversation from unfolding smoothly.( 它們能阻止談話順利展開。)解釋了期望和恐懼對于談話的阻礙作用，且句中“They”與前文“expectations and fears”相呼應(yīng)。故選D項。

【2】設(shè)空為小標(biāo)題，根據(jù)后文“If you keep up your confidence, people feel that you’re a person who is worth talking to. (如果你保持自信，人們會覺得你是一個值得交談的人。)”可知要保持自信，本段主題應(yīng)是“自信”。選項A. Stay confident.(保持自信)貼合主題。故選A項。

【3】設(shè)空在段首，后文應(yīng)對設(shè)空句進(jìn)一步解釋。根據(jù)后文“Stand tall, maintain eye contact, and don’t fidget with your hands or look at the floor. When you introduce yourself, speak clearly and loudly enough that you’ll be heard.( 站直，保持眼神交流，不要擺弄你的手或看著地板。當(dāng)你介紹自己時，說話要清楚，聲音要大，這樣別人才能聽到。)”可知，本段主要講述了肢體語言在保持自信方面的重要性。選項C. Body language can help you stay confident.( 肢體語言可以幫助你保持自信。)貼合主旨要義。故選C項。

【4】設(shè)空在小標(biāo)題之后，應(yīng)對其進(jìn)行進(jìn)一步的解釋。根據(jù)小標(biāo)題“Be positive.”可知，該部分在講述的主題是“積極”。選項F. Maintaining a positive attitude will make people want to talk to you.( 保持積極的態(tài)度會讓人們想和你說話。)進(jìn)一步解釋了“積極”的作用。故選F項。

【5】根據(jù)后文舉例：The occasional “That’s so true!” or “I know exactly what you mean!” will be far more positive.( 偶爾說一句“太對了!”或“我完全明白你的意思!”會更加積極。)可知，要使交談變得更加積極，可以說一些表述贊同的話語， 因此選項G. Don't nod and agree with what the person is saying every five seconds.( 不要每隔五秒鐘就點(diǎn)頭同意對方說的話。)提到的“不要只是點(diǎn)頭”與后文舉例相呼應(yīng)。故選G項。

七選五技巧之—代詞的暗示

在做七選五題目時，要注意代詞。代詞可能會出現(xiàn)在空前空后句中，也有可能出現(xiàn)在選項中，無論代詞出現(xiàn)在哪，一定要清楚句中出現(xiàn)的人稱代詞是指代一個或多個名詞的，它的出現(xiàn)是有原因的，即有具體所指。如果代詞在選項中出現(xiàn)，往往該選項會成為答案。比如文章的第1小題：

To meet new people, the first thing you have to do is enjoy the present moment of the new conversation. Let go of your expectations and fears. _____1_____

D. They can prevent a conversation from unfolding smoothly.

通過分析選項可知，選項D. They can prevent a conversation from unfolding smoothly.中含有代詞“They”，且在句中作主語，說明前文應(yīng)是新提及了某個或某些名詞，而句中的主語“They”用作指代該詞，對其進(jìn)一步解釋。通過閱讀全文分析可知，第1小題設(shè)空句前文“Let go of your expectations and fears. ”中的“expectations and fears”應(yīng)是“They”指代的內(nèi)容，且選項D恰好解釋了“期望和恐懼”在交談中的阻礙作用。因此D項為第1小題的答案。
