【解析】
本文是一篇说明文,介绍了如何与他人和睦相处的几点建议。
【1】空前说世界上有很多不同的人,但尽管我们有不同,我们都想和睦相处,人类是社会性的生物,我们喜欢受到良好的对待,空后又说它是关于尊重和关心他人,因此此处应该会提到错误的与人和睦相处的做法,故D项(与某人相处,不管他们的激情如何,都不是成为他们最好的朋友或分享他们所有的爱好)符合语境。
【2】根据本段首句“Be a good listener”可知,要成为一个好的倾听者,空前说与其一些毫无意义的话,不如说些有价值的话,因此此处要突出倾听的作用,故F项(所以在谈话之前最好先听一下谈话内容)符合语境。
【3】空前说让别人按照他们想要的方式生活,因此此处是说不要试图改变别人,故E项(你只能改变你与人交往的方式,而不能改变他们)符合语境。
【4】空后说有些人不接受暗示,有些人不懂肢体语言,对这些人来说,要和他们说“我真的希望我们能好好相处,我帮助你,支持你,你帮助我,支持我”,这是对空处的举例说明,因此此处是说要直接和别人表达你想和睦相处的想法,故B项(直截了当地说你想和睦相处)符合语境。
在六选四的解题过程中,空后所举的例子和主题句的关系往往是重要线索,例如本篇第4题,空处位于句首,结合文章的段落特点可知空处为段落主题句,根据空后的“ Some people do not take hints. Some people do not read body language. For these people, it really works to just say,” I really want us to work well together. I will help you and back you up, and you help me and beck me up.””可知,有些人不接受暗示,有些人不懂肢体语言,对这些人来说,要和他们说“我真的希望我们能好好相处,我帮助你,支持你,你帮助我,支持我”,这是对空处的举例说明,因此此处是说要直接和别人表达你想和睦相处的想法,故B项(直截了当地说你想和睦相处)符合语境。
