题目解答
答案
细节推理题。
（1）根据下文if you're out of your comfort zone or if you're wandering into somebody's house for the first time.So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous，trying different foods and talking to strangers.（如果你走出了自己的舒适区，或者你第一次走进别人的房子。所以最主要的事情就是去尝试，去冒险，尝试不同的食物，和陌生人交谈。）可知此处说的是要去尝试新的事物。所以B项"The first step is to go exploring第一步是去探险"引出下文，符合语境。故选B。
（2）根据下文it can bring in "I have this old，broken-down vehicle" or "I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back." It just opens up conversation.（它可以带来"我有一辆破旧的车"或者"我和这些疯狂的人一起坐公共汽车，他们在后面嘲笑愚蠢的笑话。"这只是打开了对话。"）可知此处说的是你来的方式。所以"C.If you ask the question "How did you get here？如果你问你是怎么到这儿来的？"承上启下，符合语境。故选C。
（3）根据下文If you can't take their wine away，you should certainly try to take away their soapbox.（如果你不能拿走他们的酒，你当然应该试图带走他们的讲台。）可知此处说的是客人喝多了。所以"F.What about that person who has had too much to drink or won't stop talking那些喝了太多酒或不停说话的人怎么办"引出下文，符合语境。故选F。
（4）根据上文If you're the host，you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation.（如果你是主人，你可以让他们到厨房帮你做点什么，然后把他们赶出去。）可知此处说的是客人喝多了一直在说。所以"E.Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say或者把谈话转到他们没什么好说的话题"承接上文，符合语境。故选E。
（5）根据上文If you're faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party，the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment .（如果你在宴会上面对尴尬的沉默，唯一能让每个人都再次开口的就是恭维主人。）和下文Just quickly turn around and say，"This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it."（快转身说："这个蛋糕非常好吃，你得告诉我所有的事情。"）可知，上文提到如果你在晚宴上遭遇了尴尬的沉默，唯一能让大家再次交谈的方法就是赞美主人。下文提到你只需快速转过身，说："这块蛋糕非常美味，你必须告诉我关于它的一切。"可知此处说的是怎样缓解尴尬。所以"G.He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most他或她是最能感受到尴尬的人"承上启下，符合语境。故选G。
