Starting a conversation is as easy for some people as eating and breathing. However, if you suffer from social anxiety disorder (SAD), a room full of strangers can be as frightening as moving to a foreign country. If the stranger that you are looking to start a conversation with is an authority figure, this just adds to your anxiety. Here are helpful tips when trying to start a conversation.
Often the person you are trying to start a conversation【C1】______ will have some item of jewelry, an unusual shirt or maybe even a tattoo; something distinctive that tells a story about the【C2】______. Items like this give you a starting【C3】______ for conversation.
After you receive a【C4】______, the key is to have something else to say that will give you a【C5】______ platform on which to build a conversation and a relationship. You need to think of a follow-up【C6】______ before you start. This is the key to building a conversation. Follow up with something personal that【C7】______ to the other person and that tells them something interesting about you.
Try the old standby, "Haven’t I seen you somewhere before?"【C8】______ the right circumstances, this conversation starter can work. If you【C9】______ to someone, "You seem really familiar. Do I know you from somewhere?", it makes it very easy to start a conversation.
All these help【C10】______ you to the person and keep the conversation moving: What high school did you【C11】______? Did you play an instrument? Where do you work? I’ve been to that Starbucks.
As you go through the details of the other person’s life story, you should feel 【C12】______ to change subject. Remember, you don’t really want to find out if you’ve met before; you want to get to【C13】______ each other.
One of the best ways to start a conversation is to make a funny【C14】______ about your surroundings. "Hey, doesn’t our instructor look like Harry Potter?" or, "Is the guy in the front row asleep?" The goal is not to be mean-spirited or judgmental, so be sure to 【C15】______ your comments light-hearted.
Try to invite the other person in on the joke. "Where do you think he keeps his magic wand, in his briefcase?" or "Do you think he’s going to sleep through the whole class?" This 【C16】______ of starting a conversation can be risky. Humor is difficult with an audience whom you don’t know well. However, if you find【C17】______ that shares your sense of humor, chances are that it will be the start of a great friendship.
Remember that any of these tricks is【C18】______ to fail some of the time. If you don’t get a positive response from somebody, there are always other people that you can approach. If you are【C19】______, you will find that over time it will get easier to speak with strangers. As you become more【C20】______ and at ease you won’t need to rely on tricks to start conversations.

选项
A、know
B、meet
C、introduce
D、understand
答案
A
解析
本题考点为语义推理。
(1)句式分析。
原句you want to get to______each other与前一句为并列句。get to do sth.表示“能够做某事”。
(2)句意判断。
根据上下文,这句话意为“你并非想弄清你们以前是否见过面,而是想要认识对方”。故此处应填know。
【知识拓展】(1)词汇拓展。
①与know有关的表达:to be known for因……而出名;to be known as作为……而出名,被称为,叫作;to be known to sb.为某人所熟知的;to know about了解,知道……的情况,知道……的消息;to know of听说过,知道有……。
②与meet有关的表达:to make ends meet使收支相抵;to meet halfway迁就一些,折衷解决;to meet with遇见,碰到,会晤;to meet up with碰上(某物或某种情况);to meet one’s eye进入眼帘,被看到。
③与introduce有关的表达:to introduce sb.to sb.把某人介绍给某人;to introduce sth.with sth.用某事物作……的开场白;to introduce sb.to sth.使某人初次接触到某事。
④与understand有关的表达:to make(oneself)understood清楚表达自己的意思;to understand one another/each other了解彼此意图或愿望。
(4)语法拓展:分号的用法。
①将两个没有连词连接而意思上有联系的独立句子连接成一个句子。
e.g.This garden is beautiful;he always goes for a walk in the garden.
这个花园很漂亮;他经常在这个花园里散步。
②分号相当于连词and,but等,把内部含有逗号的两个句子连在一起。
e.g.Li Ming is a kind,easy-going person;but Li Lei,Li Hua and Li Gang are stern and strict people.
李明很友好、很好相处;李磊、李华和李刚很严谨、很严肃。
③用在therefore,however, nonetheless,nevertheless,as a result等连接副词前。
e.g.He has wasted much time;therefore,he has to work harder.
他浪费了大量的时间;因此,他不得不更加努力工作。
