C.If you ask the question “How did you get here?”

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
解析:B 本题考查段落主旨句。根据空后的“if you're out of your comfort zone or if you're wandering into somebody's house for the first time”可知,空处内容应与走出舒适区或第一次去别人家里的做法有关;再结合下文的“just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers”可知,露面、敢于冒险、尝试不同的食物以及和陌生人交谈是应该做的事。B项(第一步是去探索)是对这些做法的总结,符合语境。
[典例2] (2020·全国Ⅰ卷)·Recognize all of your strengths.Write them down in a journal.Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness.List all of your accomplishments and achievements.You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today. 39

B.Where do you start?
C.Nothing is too small to celebrate.
D.Remember, you are only human.
E.Set an intention for self-acceptance.

解析:C 本题考查段落总结句。根据本段首句可知,本段的主题是“认识到你所有的优点”,段中列举了一些小的成绩,如有了一份工作,拿到了学位等,段尾对这些成绩做了一下总结:没有什么事情因太小而不值得庆祝。
[设空特点]
1.设空在段首:通常是段落主题句或段落小标题句,认真阅读空后内容,推断出主题句。
2.设空在段尾:一般是对上文或全文进行概括总结,得出结论。解题时应快速浏览七个备选项,注意选项中是否出现表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词,如so, therefore, as a result, in short, in a word, all in all等词或短语,快速缩小选项范围,再根据段落主题一致性原则,从而确定正确选项。
