问题     Interruption, more surely than anything else, kills conversation. The best of talkers interrupt(1)______in conversation. However, the(2)______interruption of the habitual interrupter and the unintentional, conscious interruption of the (3)______ talker are two very different things. All habitual interrupters are totally unaware that they continually(4)______speeches of their conversers and literally knock their very words back(5)______their mouths.
    Inability to(6)______is responsible for one phase of interruption to conversation. It is the(7)______ eye that tells one’s words have not been heard. " The person next to you must be(8)______ by my conversation, for it is going into one of your ears and out of the other," said a talker to an inattentive dinner-companion whose absent-minded and(9)______ replies had been snapping the thread of the thought(10)______it grew intolerable.

(8)
选项 A、tired
B、excited
C、bored
D、surprised
答案C
解析 形容词辨析题。这句话带有自嘲与讽刺的意味，用来礼貌地表达说话人对于不专心的听众的不满。结合上下文的分析，空格中填入的词的含义应该是“无聊的，无趣的”，因此[C]bored为正确答案。[A]tired“疲惫的”，[B]excited“激动的”，[D]surprised“惊奇的”均不符合文意，故排除。
