43、a refill”这一行为；同时空后的“make a move fast.as well”与选项 B 的内容相呼应。2C 解析：空后的代词 it 指代空处前一句中的“Im not in a good mood.Can I talk to you later if you dont mind？” ，所以空处及后一句与这一问题有关；同时后一句中的“Say it firmly”与选项 C“不要为了获得同情而表现得太礼貌”在内容和语气方面是一致的。3G 解析：根据该段的主题句以及空后两句可知，空后的两句话是对选项 G 这一疑问句的回答，选项 G 能够引出下文，符合语境。4D 解析：根据上文中的主题句都使用祈使句这一特点可知，该段也应用祈使句作主题句；同时根据该段中的第一句可知，把目光从这个人身上移开，不要有眼神交流，这样可以给对方强烈的暗示，使其发现这段谈话极其无聊，这与选项 D “使用肢体语言暗示厌烦”相吻合。95F 解析：空处起承上启下的作用，且根据该段主题句可知，使用肢体语言暗示厌烦，所以选项 F “看向别处并假装你的注意力被其他东西吸引”与之吻合。
