本文介绍了谈话的艺术,我们知道以前的青年男女非常愿意在外面的环境中约会和谈情说爱,而现在的青年男女们更愿意借助于网络或智能手机来约会见面和交流,而不再借用那种传统的约会聊天方式。
【1】句意:前几天,我的妻子和两个十几岁的孩子做了一些我们很久没做的事情。A. and 和; B. or或者; C. but但是; D. after在……之后。由上下文可知,我的妻子和两个十几岁的孩子进行了一次交谈,my wife和two teenage children作并列主语。故用连词and。
【2】句意:前几天,我的妻子和两个十几岁的孩子做了一些我们很久没做的事情。A. made制造;B. known知道;C. done做;D. seen看见。结合句意和选项可知,C正确。
【3】句意:但我们都很享受它,我们想再做一次。A. act意为“表演”;B. blame意为“责备”;C. decide意为“决定”;D. enjoy意为“享受”。这里是指我们很享受交流过程。故选D。
【4】句意:我们有过一次谈话,那是我成长过程中常见的真实、生动的对话。A. common意为“平常的,普通的”;B. careful意为“小心的,细心的”;C. extra意为“额外的”;D. enough意为“足够的”。在我的成长过程中,这种真实的、面对面的交谈是很平常的。故选A。

【6】句意:我们都知道年轻人什么时候出去约会。A. because因为;B. how 怎样;C. when 什么时候;D. unless除非。分析句意,空格处引导的应该是时间状语从句。故选C。
【7】句意:他们大部分时间都在回复手机。A. buying买;B. collecting收集;C. repairing修理;D. answering回答,答复。现在年轻人约会时,他们的大多数时间都花在了接电话上。answer the mobile phone意为“接电话”。故选D。
【8】句意:现在的青少年似乎更喜欢通过和他们的朋友发短信来与他们交流。A. dislike 不喜欢;B. prefer更喜欢;C. admire欣赏;D. believe相信。根据上文所述可知,现在的年轻人更喜欢发短消息与他们的朋友交流,prefer意为“更喜欢”。故选B。
【9】句意:现在的青少年似乎更喜欢通过和他们的朋友发短信来与他们交流。A. writing写; B. introducing介绍;C. speaking 说;D. hurrying仓促。根据前半句所述可知,现在的年轻人更喜欢发短消息与朋友交流,而不愿意面对面交谈,speak to sb.意为“和某人说话/交谈”。故选C。
【10】句意:我们会失去声音的功能。A. eye眼睛;B. voice 声音;C. mouths 嘴;D. hands手。针对上文所述现象,提醒我们将来会失去声音的功能。故选B。
完形填空题给出的是一篇意思较为完整的短文。做该题型试题时,首先应跳过空格通读全文,以全文为背景,联系句子的上下文进行推理和判断,从4个选项中选出一项进行试填。考生可以从词义用法、固定搭配、逻辑推理和上下文的联系等方面去考虑。最后应再把全文通览一遍,细心检查所选答案能否使短文上下连贯,前后呼应,词句通顺,使短文意思完整。检查时还应从语法、惯用法、逻辑推理和事情发生的情节等方面进行考虑,以达到准确无误之目的。第5小题是考查名词词义辨析,要结合上下文做出准确判断,根据前面的句子“Is the art of conversation dying?” 对话的艺术是否消亡了?还有下文的句子说明今天我们通过聊天室、短信、电子邮件等来聊天,似乎是失去了面对面交流的艺术。故答案为B。
