解答 16.C.细节理解题.该段是介绍clear (清晰)的特征,联系该段主题和文中的"Short,direct sentences(简短、直接的句子)"推断目的是"容易理解",故选C.
17.E.细节理解题.该段主要介绍correct,所以进一步说明correct的含义,故选择E.
18.G.细节理解题.该段介绍complete(完整的),所以具体解析Complete 的含义:每一点要讲全了再继续下一点,故选G.
19.A.细节理解题.该段的主题是conservaational(会话式的),所以下文要具体介绍这种会话式的方式,即"talk to the person和对方谈话",故选择A.
20.B.细节理解题.该段的主题Considerate(善解人意的),considerate就是能从他人的角度看待问题,故选B.
点评 本文是说明文,题目要求从7个选项中选择恰当的语句填入空格处.这种类型的题目关键是符合逻辑和语境,要强调从上下文中寻找具体的解题依据.

How to Find Yourself
Do you often feel lost?Do you think you are living somebody else's life?If yes,discover ways to find yourself by going through the following article.
(61)F
If you are thinking,"how to find yourself when you are lost?",then the first thing to do is to have a rest from everything-work,personal life and all worldly things.Give time to yourself to think why you seem lost.Is it because of over work?Is it because you are not leading a life that you want to?Or is it because you are not satisfied with the people or things around you?Try to find answers to these questions to determine the cause behind your restlessness.
(62)E
For once,instead of being the way others want you to be,be yourself.Look within and find yourself in you.Think about the things that you would want to do if you didn't have any family obligations or any money issues.Think about the kind of relationship you would want to be in,the place that you would like to stay in,the kind of lifestyle you would like to lead,if you didn't have the society or people around you,judging all the time.If you really want to know how to find inner peace,then think,what you would want others to describe you as-an honest person?Or adventurous?Or loving,or realistic?Once you look within,you will know the answer and then try to be exactly that.
(63)D
Thinking deeply about the past,the time or situations when you were the happiest,is another way to find yourself.Think what you were doing or with whom you were,when you were the happiest.This will help you to identify things that you want to do in life that make you happy and also certain people whose company you enjoy.

Once you have discovered what you want to do with your life,make a move for change and self improvement.Even if it means taking up small things such as dancing or painting,go ahead and do it.If you want a career change,plan and take steps so that it can take place smoothly.If you are stuck in a bad relationship and find yourself unable to mend it,break away.At the beginning,you may find yourself slightly unbalanced,but with time everything will be fine.
It is very important for you to truly find yourself,before it is too late.If you do not find yourself now,you will spend your life with somebody you do not even know.
