My teachers suggested that I see a speech specialist (專家) in school.
I never really gave much thought to my speech. If other people understood what I was saying, then that was good enough. I didn’t mind repeating myself many times.
Before testing me, the speech specialist asked me what I thought of having good speech. I told her I thought it was not important.
“Well, when you are in an interview for a job, and they don’t know what you are saying, what are they going to say to you? Nice meeting you, bye,” she said.
Maybe good speech was important. I took part in 20-minute classes each week with the specialist.
After she tested me, she told me that I spoke too fast, and didn’t give enough eye contact (眼神交流). I learned that when I made eye contact with someone, it meant that I was talking to that person, and I could also see what he or she thought about what I was saying.
When my first speech class started, I found that I had been speaking too fast to be understood. Every time I spoke too fast, the specialist stopped me and told me to start again. At first, I got stopped after almost every other sentence. After a while, I felt my speech slow down. I wasn’t sure if people could understand me better, but my friends stopped asking me to repeat myself.
Speech is an important skill to have. If you do have good speech, that’s a good thing, but if you don’t have it, it is never too late to improve.

【解析】
試題分析:本文主要講述的是作者在專家培訓之前,語速很快,也沒有與聽者有眼神交流。在專家第一次給作者本人上課時,因為說的太快,幾乎每句話都會被專家叫停重來,慢慢地作者的語速變慢,專家也不再打斷。作者從開始認為演講好壞是不重要的,轉(zhuǎn)變到認為演講是一門應(yīng)該掌握的技能。
1.推理判斷題。a newspaper一份報紙an advertisement一份廣告 a detective story一個偵探故事 a science book一本科學書。本文是關(guān)于如何演講的,不會出現(xiàn)在廣告,偵探故事和科學書上,故選A。
2.細節(jié)理解題。從 I told her I thought it was not important.我告訴她我認為這不重要,可知作者在上專家的課之前認為好的演講并不重要,得知答案選B。
3.細節(jié)理解題。從 After she tested me, she told me that I spoke too fast, and didn’t give enough eye contact.I learned that when I made eye contact with someone, it meant that I was talking to that person, and I could also see what he or she thought about what I was saying.她測試我之后,說我講的太快,沒有充分的眼神交流。我得知當我與某人眼神交流時,這意味著我正在和那人說話,我也能看到他或她在思考我正在說的,可知作者說的太快,沒有給聽者時間想問題,故選C。
4.細節(jié)理解題。從 Every time I spoke too fast, the specialist stopped me and told me to start again. At first, I got stopped after almost every other sentence.每次我講快了,專家都讓我停下來,重新開始。開始幾乎每句話都停下來,經(jīng)過多次練習,專家不再打斷他,說明他的語速變慢了,故選C。
5.標題歸納題。從Speech is an important skill to have演講是一門需要掌握的很重要的技能,可知答案選A.
