What We Have Here: A Failure to Communicate
It is the thing. There are more ways than ever to communicate with people, yet it sometimes seems like it is more difficult to connect — and stay — with anyone.
Should you off an email? Tap out a text? Post a private message on Facebook? Write on their Facebook wall? Skype, poke, ping or conjure them up on a digital tin can phone?
And once you reach someone, you wonder: Is he paying attention? How do you know? Even with the techno-ease of communication devices, conversations can still be troublesome. Questions are asked and answered of order. Instructions and directions go half-read. Meetings are botched. Feelings are hurt.

答案：1. weirdest 2. connected 3. shoot 4. countless 5. out
解析：
1. 这里考查的是填入形容词的原型、比较级还是最高级，此处因为有the需要用最高级，所以选weirdest。
2. 这里考查的是选择填入动词的恰当形式，根据语境stay后需要接一个表示动作已经完成的形容词，connecting意为连接正在进行，to connect意为连接还没有开始，用在这里都不符合句意，所以选connected。
3. 这里考查的是选择恰当的能和off搭配的动词，动词mail和give与宾语e-mail都不搭配，所以选shoot。
4. 这里考查的是选择恰当的形容词，uncountable意思是“不可数的”，countable意思是“可数的”，意思是“countless”数不清的，根据句意，应该选Countless。
5. 这里考查的是选择恰当的介词，out of order是固定用法，意为“杂乱无章”，所以选out。
