6.C空前提到一个术语etiquette，接下来自然要介绍这个单词，故选C项“它的意思是正常的、有礼貌的社会行为”。17.G空后的forexample是解题关键，由其后所举例子可知，该空应该表达礼仪标准的不同，故选G项。18.A能与空后的“在公共场所压低嗓门更好”衔接的只有A项“即使你跟朋友们在一起”。19.D空后的so是关键词，表明空格处与该句构成因果关系，我们必须小心翼翼的原因是“人们通常不喜欢被批评”，故选D项。20.F尽管各地的礼节常有差异，但有些规矩在世界各地都是一样的，比如，乱扔垃圾几乎从来都是不被允许的。由最后一句中的pickingitup也可推测该空与乱扔垃圾有关，故选F项。第二部分语言运用第一节【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，文章讲述了作者经历中两位英语老师的不同幽默，一位是可以变严肃为幽默，使人受益颇多；而另一位虽然也可以让人发笑，但是却让人受到伤害。因此作者最后提出了自己的问题幽默的功能到底是什么呢？21.A下文语境题。下一句说这位老师可以让每一样东西都幽默可乐，即使是在早上8点钟。所以空白句语境为“我最喜爱的英语老师可以让最枯燥的材料变得幽默”。dry干的，枯燥无味的，符合此处的语境。ordinary普通的；teaching教学的；special特殊的。22.C上下文语境题。上文提到这位老师可以使枯燥的材料具有幽默性，下一段也在介绍这位老师的这个特点，故此处选择C项funny滑稽的，有趣的。meaningful有意义的；simple简单的exciting令人兴奋的。23.B下文语境题。空格后的but表示转折，but后讲到只要作者听老师讲一遍，就会发现材料很有趣，所以第一遍应该是发现材料“无趣”。dead无趣的，没有活力的，符合此处的语境。difficul
