接。故选C项。【20题详析】上文“Besuretotalkaboutyourinterestsinyoursocialmediaaccounts.Thiswilldrawinpeoplewhomightalsobeinterestedinthoseinterests.Theyneverhavetheopportunitytoknowyousharethesameinterestasthem.(一定要在你的社交媒体账号上谈论你的兴趣。这会吸引那些可能也对这些兴趣感兴趣的人。他们之前一直没有机会知道你和他们有相同的兴趣)”表明在社交媒体谈论兴趣能吸引有相同兴趣的人，结合下文中的“Yes,youcantalkaboutyourinterests,butavoidtalkingaboutthingsthataretoopersonal.(是的，你可以谈论你的兴趣，但要避免谈论过于私人的事情)”可知，此空应起到承接上文的作用，A选项“Thiscreatestheopportunity(这创造了机会)”中的“This”指代上文在社交媒体谈论兴趣这件事，“createstheopportunity”说明这样做创造了彼此认识的机会，同时，下文内容是对在社交媒体谈论兴趣进行补充说明，符合语境。故选A项。第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。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
