的人)”圍繞加入與興趣相關的團體展開，C選項“Joingroupsrelatedtoanyofyourinterests(加入與你的任何興趣相關的團體)”可作為該段主旨句，統(tǒng)領下文內容，與下文緊密銜接。故選C項?！?0題詳析】上文“Besuretotalkaboutyourinterestsinyoursocialmediaaccounts.Thiswilldrawinpeoplewhomightalsobeinterestedinthoseinterests.Theyneverhavetheopportunitytoknowyousharethesameinterestasthem.(一定要在你的社交媒體賬號上談論你的興趣。這會吸引那些可能也對這些興趣感興趣的人。他們之前一直沒有機會知道你和他們有相同的興趣)”表明在社交媒體談論興趣能吸引有相同興趣的人，結合下文中的“Yes,youcantalkaboutyourinterests,butavoidtalkingaboutthingsthataretoopersonal.(是的，你可以談論你的興趣，但要避免談論過于私人的事情)”可知，此空應起到承接上文的作用，A選項“Thiscreatestheopportunity(這創(chuàng)造了機會)”中的“This”指代上文在社交媒體談論興趣這件事，“createstheopportunity”說明這樣做創(chuàng)造了彼此認識的機會，同時，下文內容是對在社交媒體談論興趣進行補充說明，符合語境。故選A項。第三部分語言運用（共兩節(jié)，滿分30分）第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題1分，滿分15分）閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。Myartteacher,Mrs.Lorry,askedherstudentstocreateadrawingrepresentingsomethingtheyfeltthankfulfor.Asshelookedatthesechildren,manyofwhomcamefromdifficultbackgrounds,she___21___howmuchtheyhadtotrulyfeelthankfulfor.Livinginaneighborhoodwheremany___22___justtomakeendsmeet,itseemedunlikelythattheyhadmanymaterialblessings.She___23___mostoftheclasswoulddrawimagesoflargeholidaydinners,thinkingthatwas___24___theyweresupposedtopicture.WhatcaughtMrs.Lorryby___25___,however,wasBruce’sdrawing.Brucewasoftenquiet,stayingclosetohimselfastheclassmateswentoutsidefor___26___.Hisdrawingwassimpleyet___27___:justasinglehand.Theclasswasimmediately___28___toit.“Itmustbethehandofsomeonewho___29___foodforus,”onestudentsuggested.“Afarmer,”anotherstudentoffered,“becausefarmers____30____thechicken.”“Itlookslikeapoliceman’shand,”saidsomeoneelse,“becausepolicemenprotectus.”“Ithink,”Lucysaidthoughtfully,“Brucemeanttoshowallthe____31____thathelpus.”Mrs.Lorrywasdeeplymovedbythese____32____.Afterthestudentsbegantheirnexttask,shequietlyleanedoverBruce’sdeskandaskedhimwhosehanditwas.Brucewhispered,“It’syours,teacher.”Mrs.Lorrysuddenlyrecalledhowoftenshehad____33____Bruce’shand,justasshedidwiththeotherchildren.Butforittomeansomuchtohim...shefeltawaveof____34____.Perhaps,shethought,thiswasthetruemeaningofthe____35____forlife—notthematerialgiftswereceive,butthesmallactsofkindnesswesharewithothers.21.A.doubted
