问题    When Andrew Chadwick-Jones, a management consultant with Oliver Wyman in London, went to pitch to a private-equity firm late last year, he【C1】______the usual: about 20 minutes and a brisk attitude. He was surprised to find the private-equity people【C2】______explaining their strategy,【C3】______introductions to senior staff and being more open and friendly.【C4】______money and deals are scarce, they’ve got to be nicer to all the people they【C5】______with, in case they might help bring business in future, he says.
   Rudeness is out, and civility is the new【C6】______in an uncertain world. On Wall Street, says a banker, it’s now all about charm and openness and taking time with people. Cocky young things straight【C7】______the best business schools have stopped skipping interview appointments, recruiters say, and there is much less【C8】______people’s shoulders at drinks parties, reports one veteran.
   Many people, fearful for their jobs, are trying to burnish their contacts at other firms. The change in tone also【C9】______an upheaval in the balance of【C10】______between companies.【C11】______the crisis, says Michel Pretie, head of investment banking at Societe Generale in Paris, he would go and see a senior chief executive with a mergers-and-acquisitions【C12】______, get in for a short【C13】______and, on the way out, walk past a line of all his competitors.

【C2】
选项 A、however
B、instead
C、likewise
D、therefore
答案B
解析 副词辨析题。首先要明确，instead和however不是连词，而是副词。其次，A项however“然而”，表示一种转折，说明后面陈述的内容与前面的内容相反，通常用在句首(较正规)，若用在句中必须用“，”隔开；B项instead“相反”虽然也表示转折，但它的意思更侧重于“取而代之”，所以往往翻译成“相反地”；根据文中he expected the usual：about 20 minutes and a brisk attitude．He was surprised to find the Drivate-equity people______explaining their strategy，前后有转折关系；C项likewise“同样地，照样地，又，也”，作副词使用，表示一种并列关系；D项therefore“因此”，表示因果关系。因此不能选C项和D项，再根据在句中的位置，B项符合条件，故B项为正确选项。
