Ⅱ.七选五
(2021全国乙)
According to Jessica Hagy, author of How to Be Interesting, it's not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party.
　1　, if you're out of your comfort zone or if you're wandering into somebody's house for the first time. So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers.
People love to talk about themselves. If you can start the conversation with a question other than “What do you do for a living ”, you'll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you're talking to. 　2　, it can bring in “I have this old, broken-down vehicle”or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.”It just opens up conversation.
　3　 If you can't take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox(讲台). If you're the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. 　4　.
And what about that other dinner-party killer: awkward silence If you're faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment(赞扬). 　5　. Just quickly turn around and say,“This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.”
So being interesting at a dinner party isn't that hard.
A.How do you know the host
B.The first step is to go exploring
C.If you ask the question “How did you get here ”
D.Be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangers
E.Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say
F.What about that person who has had too much to drink or won't stop talking
G.He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most

高考真题练
Ⅰ.◎语篇解读　本文是一篇应用文,文章主要介绍了加的夫的剧院、音乐厅、喜剧俱乐部等娱乐场所。

长难句　
原句　Every weekend this is “Wales” premier comedy club where having a great time is the order for both audiences and comedy stars alike.
分析　本句是一个主从复合句。“where having a great time...alike”是定语从句,在这个定语从句里,“having a great time”作主语,谓语动词为is。
译文　每个周末,这里都是“威尔士”首屈一指的喜剧俱乐部,观众和喜剧明星都希望在这里度过美好的时光。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读　本文为说明文,主题语境为人与社会,主题语境内容为良好的人际关系与社会交往。作者主要介绍了杰西卡·哈吉的书中讲到的几种在人际交往中让自己有趣的小窍门。
1.B　文章第一段提到让自己在宴会上有趣并不难。下文应该讲具体的方法是什么,B项中的“The first step”符合语篇逻辑结构。其次,本段第二句中的“be adventurous,trying different foods and talking to strangers”与B选项中的“go exploring”对应,所以B项是正确的。
2.C　设空处前一句提到如果你能以一个不同的问题开启对话,那么你会跟对方有一个更有趣的交流。根据关键词question,将答案锁定在C项。其次,设空处后的代词it应该指代设空处所说的问题,后面部分中提到的“vehicle”和“bus”指的是交通方式,和C选项中的“How did you get here ”相对应,结合上述两点可知选C。
3.F　设空处后面为问号,所选的句子应该是疑问句,可锁定A项和F项。根据设空处后面两句可知本段主要讲的是如何应对某一部分参加聚会的人。原文“If you can't take their wine away...”中的wine对应F项中的drink一词,可知要应对的是喝酒太多或话多的人。故选F项。
4.E　本段主旨是如何应对喝酒太多或话多的人。设空处前一句讲的是应对他的一种方式——将他支开(ask them to help you in the kitchen)。E项中的“have little to say”与第3空主旨句的“won't stop talking”相对应,由此可知设空处讲的是另一种应对的方法,所以可以确定E项是正确的。
5.G　设空处前面讲到可以通过赞扬主人来化解沉默的尴尬,最后一句讲到“This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.”,这是一句赞扬主人的话。设空处所选句子处于两句中间,应该提到主人,G项中的He or she对应的是上文的the host,awkwardness对应的是本段第一句中的awkward silence,由此可知G项正确。
