Starting a conversation is as easy for some people as eating and breathing. However, if you suffer from social anxiety disorder (SAD), a room full of strangers can be as frightening as moving to a foreign country. If the stranger that you are looking to start a conversation with is an authority figure, this just adds to your anxiety. Here are helpful tips when trying to start a conversation.
Often the person you are trying to start a conversation【C1】______ will have some item of jewelry, an unusual shirt or maybe even a tattoo; something distinctive that tells a story about the【C2】______. Items like this give you a starting【C3】______ for conversation.
After you receive a【C4】______, the key is to have something else to say that will give you a【C5】______ platform on which to build a conversation and a relationship. You need to think of a follow-up【C6】______ before you start. This is the key to building a conversation. Follow up with something personal that【C7】______ to the other person and that tells them something interesting about you.
Try the old standby, "Haven’t I seen you somewhere before?"【C8】______ the right circumstances, this conversation starter can work. If you【C9】______ to someone, "You seem really familiar. Do I know you from somewhere?", it makes it very easy to start a conversation.
All these help【C10】______ you to the person and keep the conversation moving: What high school did you【C11】______? Did you play an instrument? Where do you work? I’ve been to that Starbucks.
As you go through the details of the other person’s life story, you should feel 【C12】______ to change subject. Remember, you don’t really want to find out if you’ve met before; you want to get to【C13】______ each other.
One of the best ways to start a conversation is to make a funny【C14】______ about your surroundings. "Hey, doesn’t our instructor look like Harry Potter?" or, "Is the guy in the front row asleep?" The goal is not to be mean-spirited or judgmental, so be sure to 【C15】______ your comments light-hearted.
Try to invite the other person in on the joke. "Where do you think he keeps his magic wand, in his briefcase?" or "Do you think he’s going to sleep through the whole class?" This 【C16】______ of starting a conversation can be risky. Humor is difficult with an audience whom you don’t know well. However, if you find【C17】______ that shares your sense of humor, chances are that it will be the start of a great friendship.
Remember that any of these tricks is【C18】______ to fail some of the time. If you don’t get a positive response from somebody, there are always other people that you can approach. If you are【C19】______, you will find that over time it will get easier to speak with strangers. As you become more【C20】______ and at ease you won’t need to rely on tricks to start conversations.
【C10】
选项
A、command
B、conduct
C、contact
D、connect
答案
D
解析
本题考点为词义辨析与词语搭配。
(1)句式分析。
原句“All these help______you to the person…”使用了help do sth.(有助于做……)。
you作要填入的动词的宾语,而且该动词能与to搭配。
(2)句意判断。
根据上下文可知,本句话意为“所有这些都有助于你和那个人建立联系”。
(3)词义辨析。
A.command v.命令,指挥,控制,支配
B.conduct v.指挥,处理,进行,经营
C.contact v.联系
D.connect v.连接,联系,接通,连通,衔接
connect常与with,by和to连用,表示“建立联系,把……联系起来”。command,conduct和contact与语义不符,故填connect。
【知识拓展】(1)解题技巧。
形近词的词义及其用法辨析是重要考点。解题时,要注意区别同义词、近义词、反义词、形近异义词和同形异义词。
(2)词汇拓展。
①与command有关的表达:at sb.’s command听从某人的命令;on command按照命令;to be in command(of/over sb./sth.)指挥某人/某物;to be under the command of sb./to be under sb.’s command受某人指挥;to have a good command of sth.很好地掌握某事。
②与conduct有关的表达:to conduct an inquiry进行调查;to conduct a case/defense处理案件/进行辩护。
③与contact有关的表达:to be in/out of contact with和……接触,有联系/失去联系;to bring into/throw in contact with使接触;to come in/into contact with接触,碰上;to have contact with接触到,和……有联系。
④与connect有关的表达:to connect up连起来,接上;to be connected with和……有联系,和……有关;to connect to sth.与……相连;to connect with sb./sth.打中某人/某物;to connect with sb.与某人建立良好关系;to connect with sth.与某处连通。
(3)语法拓展:平行结构与现在分词。
1)平行结构是英语中比较常见的连接句子成分的一种方法。平行结构主要是通过并列连词、关联连词把同一种类型的语法成分连接起来,即用并列连词and,but,as well as,or,or else,both...and,neither...nor,either...or,not only...but(also),rather than等以及从属连词than连接两个对等的词或对等的结构。
e.g.He is not only my friend,but also my teacher.
他不仅是我的朋友,还是我的老师。
注意:所连接的成分必须保持语法上的一致性或相似性。
2)现在分词是非谓语动词的一种重要形式。主要用法包括:
①现在分词作定语。
e.g.The exciting news made us very happy.
这个令人兴奋的消息使我们很高兴。
②现在分词作表语时,相当于形容词,说明主语的性质、特征等。
e.g.My son’s scores are rather disappointing.
我儿子的考试成绩着实令人失望。
③现在分词作状语。
e.g.Generally speaking,what he said is right.
一般来说,他说的都是对的。
