【解析】

1.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；

2.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；

3.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；

4.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；

5.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；

6.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；

7.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；

8.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；

9.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；

10.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；

11.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；

12.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；
