问题     Misjudging someone’s use of silence can take place in many contexts and on many levels. Take pausing for example. One’s conversational style may be marked by frequent pausing, thus giving room(or time)for the discourse partner to jump into the conversation by taking his or her next turn. Some speakers, however, may think that the pauses others leave for them are not long enough to claim the floor(发言权)without being rude, while it may be the feeling of the other party that longer pauses would create awkward silences. Such differences in the perception and valuation of pauses may lead to conflict. The person who does not tolerate long pauses may wonder why the other does not want to talk, whereas the person who needs longer pauses to take a turn may think of his or her partner as intolerably talkative.
Conflicts may be aroused except______.

选项 A、when the person needs longer pauses while the other needs short pauses
B、when the person’s conversational style is marked by frequent pausing
C、when the person thinks pauses are too short while the other thinks they may create awkward silences
D、when the person wonders why the other stops while the other thinks why his or her partner is so talkative

答案B

解析 细节考察题。本题考察对细节的理解,特别是指示代词such的所指,即有些人会认为别人给他们时间不够长,而有些人会认为停顿太长会出现令人尴尬的沉默;这句话后面还有进一步的解释:一个无法容忍长时间停顿的人会奇怪对方为何不想说了,而一个需要长时间停顿才能接过话头的人可能会认为对方难以忍受健谈。
