Answer 1

【答案】

【1】G

【2】E

【3】B

【4】A

【5】D

【解析】

本文是議論文。文章中作者提出了幾條關(guān)于提高溝通技巧的建議。

【1】

此題線索是詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)。文章首句提到“擁有良好的溝通技巧是很重要的”；選項(xiàng)G意思為：下面有一些方法，你可以用來提高你的溝通技巧。選項(xiàng)G中“improve your communication skills”和首句中的“good communication skills”語義相符，其中“communication skills”是原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。選項(xiàng)G是承上啟下。故選G項(xiàng)。

【2】

此題線索是代詞指代和邏輯。選項(xiàng)E意思為：它也是我們用來建立和保持關(guān)系的技能。選項(xiàng)E中it指代上一句中的“communication”，其中also表示遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。E選項(xiàng)“它也是我們用來建立和保持關(guān)系的技能�！鼻蓄}。故選E項(xiàng)。

【3】

此題線索是詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)。選項(xiàng)B意思為：這些動(dòng)作示意包括手和面部。空前一句提到“你可以用動(dòng)作示意來幫助”，選項(xiàng)B選項(xiàng)“這些手勢包括手和臉。”是對(duì)空前一句的具體說明，其中“gestures”是原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。故選B項(xiàng)。

【4】

分析文章結(jié)構(gòu)，第二、三段都有小標(biāo)題，而且小標(biāo)題都是動(dòng)名詞短語的形式；該空位于段落開頭，應(yīng)該是該段的小標(biāo)題；下文提到“人們會(huì)通過你的詞匯量來判斷你的能力”，多次提到“vocabulary”“new words”，因此該段是關(guān)于在交談時(shí)要使用恰當(dāng)?shù)脑~匯和語言。選項(xiàng)A意思為：用你的語言，可以作為該段的小標(biāo)題。故選A項(xiàng)。

【5】

空前一句中提到“人們會(huì)通過你的詞匯量來判斷你的能力”；選項(xiàng)D意思為：如果你不知道如何說一個(gè)詞，就不要用它。選項(xiàng)D是針對(duì)空前一句中的問題提出的建議，是順承空前一句的話題。故選D項(xiàng)。
