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
1.答案 B
解析 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者第一次去别人的家里的做法有关,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。
2.答案 C
解析 根据此空后的逗号和空后的句子可知,此空应该填入一个从句。再根据空后的“I have this old,broken-down vehicle”“I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.”可知,空处应涉及交通方式的问题。C项“如果你问‘你怎么到这里的?’”符合语境。
3.答案 F
解析 根据空后的问号可知,此处应填入一个问句,故把答案锁定在A、F项中。空后的“If you can’t take their wine away”“their soapbox(讲台)”与F项中的“has had too much to drink”“won’t stop talking”分别对应,故选F项。
4.答案 E
解析 E项“或者把谈话转向一个他们几乎无话可说的话题”承接空前的“If you’re the host,you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation.”,给出了另一种选择,符合语境。
5.答案 G
解析 本段主要讲面对“dinner-party killer:awkward silence”时应该怎么办。根据空前的“the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment(赞扬)”可知,解决办法是赞扬晚宴的主人,G项“他或她是最能感受到这种尴尬的人”符合语境。G选项中的“He or she”指代前文的the host,“awkwardness”同根词复现也是解题提示。
细研真题
Ⅰ.宏观把握——抓住主旨大意,理清文章脉络
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在晚宴上让自己表现得有趣的一些方法。
文章的脉络如下:
Ⅱ.微观排障——长难句分析
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.
分析 该句为主从复合句。If引导条件状语从句;whomever引导宾语从句;主句为:you’ll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation。
译文 如果你可以用另一个问题开始对话,而不是“你做什么工作?”,你就能从和你谈话的人那里得到更多有趣的对话。
Ⅲ.主题词汇积累 语篇中黑体词汇为主题词汇
代词指代法
代词指代主要是指代前面提及的名词、短语或句子概念,并弄清指代的是单数还是复数形式。
第一步:着重阅读空前空后句子,关注名词或代词。
第二步:在选项中搜索相关关键词。
第三步:对比选项,得出结论。
本文中第5题用的就是代词指代法,根据策略,其解题步骤如下:
Step 1 阅读空前空后的句子:根据空前句“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).”可知此句中有个关键词“the host”;根据空后句“Just quickly turn around and say,‘This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.’”可找到关键词“you”,因此,可推测空格所在句应提到某个人。
Step 2 在选项中搜索关键词发现:G项“He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most”中含有“He or she”。
Step 3 选项G中的“He or she”代指空前句子中的“the host”单数形式,故正确答案为G。
