问题     Have you ever used email to apologize to a colleague? Delivered a【C1】______to a subordinate (下属) with a voice-mail message? Flown by plane across the country just to deliver important news in person? The various communication options at our fingertips today can be good for【C2】______and productivity—and at the same time very troublesome. With so many ways to communicate, how should a manager choose the one that’ s best—【C3】______when the message to be delivered is bad or unwelcome news for the recipient? We’ ve【C4】______business communication consultants and etiquette (礼仪) experts to come up with the following guidelines for【C5】______using the alternative ways of delivering difficult messages.

A face-to-face communication is the most【C6】______Other choices, in descending order of personalization, are: a real-time phone call, a voice-mail message, a handwritten note, a typewritten letter, and the most【C7】______is email. Some of these may change order according to the【C8】______situation or your own preferences: for example, a handwritten note might seem more personal than voice-mail.

A) avoid I) reward
B) convenience J) silent
C) effectively K) specific
D) escape L) surveyed
E) intimate M) unfriendly
F) particularly N) warning
G) primary O) witnessed
H) prompt
【C10】
选项
答案A
解析 从句子结构来看，空格位于省略关系代词的定语从句中，修饰中心词something。空格前为定语从句的主语I、时间副词now和程度副词totally，因此空格处需要填入一个谓语动词。根据上文，“电子邮件是最不友好的一种沟通方式”“当我道歉的时候，我通常会优先选择当面道歉，或者把打电话作为第一选择，其次是手写便条”。由此可推断，电子邮件道歉不在选择之列。备选项中只有avoid(避免，避开)符合句意，escape意为“逃跑”，不符合句意，故答案为A。
