“分类关联承接”法推测阅读七选五(2)
段中句——瞻前顾后，不可偏颇。挖空在段中，一般说来，文章的行文通常需要一定的衔接手段来实现，主要有以下两种方式：一是词汇线索，二是行文逻辑。
1. 词汇线索主要包括代词指代或者词汇复现，指前后句之间有代词指代同样的内容，或者两者之间出现相同的名词或者代词。
2. 行文逻辑主要是指句子之间的并列、转折、递进、因果、例证等逻辑关系。如果有相应的连词或者副词则比较容易辨别，如果没有这类线索词汇，就要靠句子内在的逻辑关系来判断。
3. 需要特别注意的是，不能仅仅根据某个选项和前句或者后句有相似词就认为是正确答案；也不能仅仅因为某个选项和前句或者后句意义匹配就确定答案，而是要保证在语意逻辑上和前后两句同时匹配，才是正确选项。

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）.
40(). 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
40.G [本题为段中句，根据段首句可以判断本段是关于awkward silence的，空白处前后句提示，可以赞扬一下主人(host)来应对静默的尴尬，比如赞美蛋糕。G选项中的代词He or she对应the host，同时也有关键词awkwardness与段内关键词对应，故选G。]
