七、阅读短文,根据语篇要求填空,使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词。
Last Friday night, my father was out. After finishing my homework, I started to listen to music on the computer. I was 1. careless that I poured some water on my father's new watch near the computer. It was an expensive watch from his friend. 2. of the water, it didn't work.
When my father came back, I was afraid 3. tell him the truth. I was really worried at that time. The next day, I shared my problem 4. my best friend. He advised me to tell my father about it. I did as he told me. To my surprise, my father was not angry with me at all. Instead, he told me that good communication can solve any problem. Nothing is 5. important than love and trust for family members.

1. so
2. Because
3. to
4. with
5. more

1. so，考查固定句型“so...that...”，表示“如此……以至于……”，这里说我是如此粗心以至于把水泼到了爸爸的新手表上，故填so。
2. Because，根据前后句逻辑关系，手表不工作是因为进了水，“because of”表示原因，这里of后接名词短语，故填Because。
3. to，“be afraid to do sth.”是固定搭配，意为“害怕做某事”，所以这里填to。
4. with，“share sth. with sb.”是固定短语，意思是“和某人分享某事”，故填with。
5. more，“比较级+than”表示两者相比，important是多音节词，其比较级是more important，意为“没有什么比家人的爱和信任更重要”，故填more。

八、根据下面的对话情景,在每个空白处填上一个适当的句子,使对话的意思连贯、完整。
A：Hi, I'm writing a report about communication. Can you help me?
B：Sure! What do you want to know?
A：Well, the first question. 1. ?
B：If you want to communicate well with others, I think listening is the most important. 2. .
A：I agree. What else?
B：3. . If you are always honest, people will trust you more.
A：Yeah, you are right. 4. ?
B：Of course. Body language can sometimes speak louder than words. So if you make eye contact while talking, it shows that you're interested in what the other person is saying.
A：5. . You give me so many good ideas.
B：You're welcome.

1. What is the most important thing in communication?
2. Good listening helps you understand others better.
3. Being honest is also very important.
4. Is body language important in communication?
