32、前的行为，值得注意的是，后文即对作者的行为进行描述，会发现第三段的最后一词即为change符合前后对应原则。2. D考察名词，一天早上，当我在社区图书馆的时候，我的出现了。可以通过理解打出答案3. B 考察动词。对应后文pick up,可知小女孩之前是将书掉落，选dropped4. C 考察短语。根据文意，作者后来发现没人帮助小女孩，说明作者必定重新返回原来的地方5.答案C。考察动词。前文someone else和后文的no one对应，所以动作也应该对应，所以选help。6.答案A。考察动词。后文so是解题点，说明作者的动作与男人的动作一致，故选sitting。7.答案D。考察名词。第44题

33、后面一个词chat即为本题答案，因此选chat的同义词conversion。8.答案B 考察名词。文章说我的新朋友的每中都显示出怀疑的语气。首先joke，cry，和story文中均未提及，直接排除，选response。9. B 考查形容词。文章说，人们对于一个陌生人并不习惯于进行的交谈。此句是由前文作者对于陌生人的反应而总结出来的。前文作者对于陌生人的交谈很不顺利，如何开始如何结束都显得十分困难，因此本题应该选择与困难相近的词，纵观备选项unprepared未准备好的，符合文章。10. A 考察副词，文章说，无论和陌生交谈方式改变的需要无论是，它都不会发生。此题单纯从文章理解比较困难，建议用排除法。frequently, simply, widely这三个选项均不是文章讨论的内容，可以排除，剩下答案desperately十分，非常地修饰这种需要的迫切程度11. D 考查动词。最后一段作者针对与陌生人疏远这种情况，建议人们努力改善，答案容易得出。12. C 对应第一段的apart, 此处应选择相对应的反义词，closer.- 7 - 版权所有高考资源网
