29、sofreakedoutaboutbeinginanewsituationthatyoustartthrowingoffdont-come-near-mesignals.Andguesswhat?Itworked.”可知,当你处在一个新的环境中很容易让你不安,以至于你开始发出“不要靠近我”的信号。猜猜看?它起作用了。所以判断出此处要说明“不要靠近我”的信号发出后所产生的结果是什么样的。故A项“人们不会靠近你”符合句意。故A选项切题。2.D当我们不安的时候,我们首先看的是地板。没人知道我们是否尴尬。我们不知道是否有人在看着我们。抬起头,眼神交流是一个大胆的举动。它既是自信又是友好的表现。此处要起
30、到承上启下的作用,既要说明上文的眼睛之间的交流方式是错误的,又要说明应该怎样进行眼神的交流是正确的。故D项符合句意。3.B本段主要介绍了在交流过程中,为了使交流能够顺利地继续下去,强有力的开场白通常以“什么”或“如何”这样的提问方式开始。故B项“你所需要的就是一个问题”切题。4.F通常,我们的第一本能是问一个“can”或“do”的问题,比如“我能借一支铅笔吗?”或者“你知道洗手间在哪里吗?所以判断出此处在表明以“can”或者“do”这样的提问方式会得到的答案是什么?故F选项“但这只能让你得到简短的答案”。比如“是”或者“沿着大厅就能看见”。故F项切题。5.G结交新朋友是一项技能。但是你练习得越多,就越感觉放松和自然。所以判断出此处是把交朋友比喻成了艺术、音乐或体育一样。需要练习才能真正对它充满信心,练习得越多,越感觉放松和自然。故G项“像艺术、音乐或体育一样,需要练习才能真正对它充满信心”切题。
