Answer 1

1. A根據(jù)"It is +adj.+ for sb. to do sth."結(jié)構(gòu)可知此處應(yīng)該使用動詞不定式。

2. C句意：當你考慮討論的話題的時候，如果你曾經(jīng)以悲傷的微笑結(jié)束你們的交談，這兒有一些可以使它更簡單的建議。end up with...以……結(jié)束,符合文意

3. A根據(jù)上文可知，想一個討論的話題。think of 想，思考，符合語境。bok up査找;get up起床; take care of照顧，均不符合邏輯。

4. B句意：在商業(yè)活動之前準備交談的話題。before在……之前，符合邏輯。

5. D根據(jù)上文"Before the event,plan three or four conversation topics.可推測后句句意為"這將會幫助你容易地發(fā)現(xiàn)一個新的話題"。easily容易地，符合語境。hardly幾乎不; carefully仔細地;really真實地,均不符合語境。

6. C句意:然后至少計劃一個來自你的行業(yè)的"話題"。topic話題，符合文意。其余三項分別表示：事件;對話，交談；朋友，均不符合語境。

7. B句意:在商業(yè)活動中.知道你的行業(yè)正在發(fā)生"什么"。what什么，符合文意。

8. A句意：為了跟上時代的步伐讀你的領(lǐng)域內(nèi)"一些新的東西"。肯定句中使用something,當形容詞修飾不定代詞時，應(yīng)該放在不定代詞的后面。

9. B句意:不用"擔(dān)心"，你不需要一個著名的開場白。worry擔(dān)心，符合文意。talk談?wù)?want想要;ask問，均不符合語境。

10. C句意:你可以使用"簡單的"話題，像天氣或者你為什么在活動中。simple簡單的，符合文意。difficult困難的;impossible不可能的;important重要的，均不符合語境。 

11. C根據(jù)"it's something everyone can talk about"可知前半句句意:那就是我們?yōu)槭裁?quot;談?wù)?quot;天氣。talk about談?wù)�，符合文意。worry about擔(dān)心;think about考慮;learn about了解，均不符合文意。

12. D表示"做某事最好的方法"使用the best way to do sth.，動詞不定式作后置定語。

13. A根據(jù)上文"your experience"和下文"the event you are attending"可知，此處表示"舉例"。such as例如，符合文意。

14. A句意：詢問他對說話者的"觀點"'或者他是怎樣認識主人的。idea觀點，看法，符合語境。其余三項分別表示：名字;愛好；問題，均不符合語境。    

15. B"Any of these questions will give you an instant connection"與"you've had the same experience"之間存在著因果關(guān)系，所以用because來引導(dǎo)后半句，表示原因。
