People in communities have slowly been pushed apart through the years, mostly because people simply aren’t taking the time to say a simple “hello,” After considering this phenomenon, I decided I was going to   36   the way I was doing things.

My   37   came one morning when I was in the community library. I passed by a girl who   38   her books out of her locker .Thinking like most that someone else would help her pick them up, I continued my way. However, when I had to   39   because I stupidly forgot my book, I noticed she had just finished packing them up by herself he one had stopped to   40   her.

“OK,” I thought to myself, “this is where I should have changed.”

My best opportunity came a few days later when I saw a man   41   by himself waiting for the library to open ,so I sat down next to him and began a   42  .It was difficult to get started ,and even when I had to say goodbye, almost every   43   from my new friend had a tone (语气) of doubt in it ,And who could blame him?

People aren’t used to making an   44   chat with a stranger. But a change, no matter how   45   it is needed, doesn’t just happen. It takes people like us to make it possible.

【解析】：依然是往年惯例--记叙文。文章通过作者记叙自己在社区图书馆的经历，来劝告人们通过尝试与陌生人交流来增进彼此之间的关系，符合了当下"和谐社会"的大环境。

36.答案C: change. 考察动词。根据文意，作者在思考了社区内人与人之间距离逐渐疏远这一现象后，决定改变之前的行为。值得注意的是，后文即对作者的行为进行描述，会发现第三段的最后一词即为change，符合前后对应原则，难度等级：中；

37.答案D: opportunity. 考察名词。一天早上，当我在社区图书馆的时候，我的…出现了。可以通过理解得出答案，但也简单按照完形名词解题法寻找重复，第四段第三个词即为答案，难度等级：易；

38.答案B: dropped. 考察动词。对应后文pick up，可知小女孩之前是将书掉落，选dropped，难度等级：易；

39.答案C: go back. 考察短语。根据文意，作者后来发现没人帮助小女孩，说明作者必定重新返回原来的地方，难度等级：易；

40.答案C: help. 考察动词。前文someone else和后文的no one对应，所以动作也应该对应，所以选help，难度等级：易；

41.答案A: sitting. 考察动词。后文so是解题点，说明作者的动作也男人的动作一致，故选sitting，难度等级：易；

42.答案D: conversion. 考察名词。名词寻找重复后发现，第44题后面一个词chat即为本题答案，因此选chat的同义词conversion，难度等级：易；

43.答案B: response. 考察名词。文章说我的新朋友的每个…中都显示出怀疑的语气。首先joke，cry，和story文中均未提及，直接排除，选response。另外，此题也对应上义词必选技巧，难度等级：中；

44.答案B: unprepared. 考察形容词。文章说，人们对于一个陌生人并不习惯于进行…的交谈。此句是由前文作者对于陌生人的反应而总结出来的。前文作者对陌生人的交谈很不顺利，如何开始如何结束都显得十分困难，因此本题应选择与困难相近的词。纵观备选项，unprepared,未准备好的，即兴的较符合文意。此题考察文章归纳总结能力，难度等级：难；

45.答案A: Desperately. 考察副词。文章说，无论和陌生交谈方式改变的需要无论是…，它都不会发生。此题单纯从文意理解比较困难，建议用排除法。frequently, simply, widely这三个选项均不是文章讨论的内容，可以排除，剩下答案desperately:十分，非常地，修饰这种需要的迫切程度。考生无法直接选出此题的原因在于不知道此单词的这种用法。难度等级：难；

46.答案D: advise. 考察动词。最后一段作者针对与陌生人疏远这种情况，建议人们努力改善，答案容易得出。难度等级：易；

47.答案C: closer。对应第一段的apart，此处应选择相对应的反义词，closer。难度等级：易；

除44，45个别难题外，整体选择题型的完形难度适中，建议考生多做历年完形真题熟悉巩固考察点与做题法。
