1.【C1】(D)
A. in
B. on
C. from
D. with
解析：空格所在句是省略了that的定语从句，修饰the person，且the person在从句中作宾语，根据start a conversation with sb．的固定搭配，此处应填入介词with。
2.【C2】(A)
A. person
B. group
C. staff
D. team
解析：空格前的something distinctive是对前文some item of jewelry、an unusual shirt和a tattoo的概括，都是说明the person的特点，故空格处应填入person。
3.【C3】(D)
A. part
B. pace
C. place
D. point
解析：本句的大意是“这些东西都可以作为谈话的开端”，a starting point“开头，开端”是固定搭配，故选D项。
4.【C4】(C)
A. letter
B. call
C. response

5.【C5】(C)
A. joint
B. mutual
C. common
D. rare
解析：platform后由定语从句修饰，说明这是一个构建双方谈话和关系的平台，可推断这是一个谈话双方共享的平台，a common platform符合文意。注意mutual虽然也有“共同的”意思，但常见的搭配是mutual friend／interest“共同朋友/共同利益”。
6.【C6】(C)

8.【C8】(D)
A. Considered
B. Taken
C. Supposed

9.【C9】(A)
A. say
B. refer
