【解析】

本篇文章難度適中，主要講述幾個讓對話變得有趣并減少尷尬的方法。包括肢體語言、雙方共同參與以及不要害怕安靜等。

【1】句意：畢竟每個人都頻繁地和對方說話。

above all首先，尤其是；in brief簡言之；after all畢竟；even though盡管。由Holding conversations may not seem like a skill“通話似乎不是一種技能”可知，表示“畢竟每個人都頻繁地和對方說話”，故選C。

【2】句意：雖然聽起來很奇怪，但是很多交流都是無聲的。

emotion情感；communication交流；information信息；situation情況。根據(jù)When you’re talking with someone, stand up straight and look them in the eye. This shows that you’re confident“當(dāng)你正在和某個人談話時，站直并且看著他們的眼睛，這表明你是自信的”以及without any words可知，表示很多交流都是無聲的，故選B。

【3】句意：一個好的對話不是演講，這就意味著兩個人都需要參與。

dialogue對話；game游戲；discussion討論；speech演講。根據(jù)which means that both people need to participate“這就意味著雙方都要參加”可知，對話不是演講，故選D。

【4】句意：人們通常會很興奮地發(fā)現(xiàn)有相似興趣的人。

difficult困難的；faithful忠誠的；excited振奮的；honest誠實的。根據(jù)Maybe they’ll say something relate with and can reply. to“可能他們會說一些相關(guān)的事情并且你可以回答”可知，人們發(fā)現(xiàn)有相似興趣的人會很振奮，故選C。

【5】句意：不要害怕安靜。

conclusions結(jié)論；question問題；conversation對話；silence安靜。根據(jù)Don’t panic if the conversation has quiet moments“如果對話有安靜的時刻不要驚慌”可知，不要害怕安靜，故選D。

【6】句意：和其他技能一樣，你會在與時間對話方面有所改善。

increase增加；improve提高，改善；better更好的；rise增加。根據(jù)Here are some ways to make conversations more fun and less awkward“這有一些讓你在對話方面更加有趣以及減少尷尬的方法”可知，表示“有所改善”，故選B。

做完型填空時，首先要通讀課文，明白主旨大意，然后再做題。做完型時要記住“瞻前顧后想結(jié)果”這一原則，根據(jù)上下文以及語境做題，切忌主觀臆斷。另外，平時還要多多積累詞匯。完型填空�？济�詞、動詞、形容詞和副詞等辨析。做詞義辨析題時，首先要確認四個選項的含義，然后分析語境和邏輯關(guān)系，確定答案。

例如第3題，首先確定四個選項的含義，A. dialogue對話；B. game游戲；C. discussion討論；D. speech演講。再根據(jù)which means that both people need to participate“這就意味著雙方都要參加”可知，對話不是演講，故選D。
