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.

【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。
