【題目】Public Speaking Training

·Get a coach

【1】 , so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.

【4】G

【5】A

【解析】

試題分析:該類題型考查段落銜接和整段理解。本篇為說明文。文章講述了進行公共演講的訓(xùn)練要點。

縱覽全文，F(xiàn)選項與文意無關(guān)，可以先行去除，將難度降低為從六個選項中選擇五個。

【1】E. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough.根據(jù)下一句ready to offer you public speaking training and courses可知，開頭說的是與public speaking 有關(guān)的問題，故選E。

【2】B. You already do lots of things well本題位于段中，通過上下文得出選項。后一句so good public speaking training should develop those與空格形成因果關(guān)系，所以空格中應(yīng)表達“你已經(jīng)做得很好了”的含義，所以B選項是正確答案。

【3】C. Turn your back on too many rules本題位于段首，為整段的主旨大意。本段第一句中提到lots of dos and don’t walk away!可知，如果有的培訓(xùn)講太多的條條框框的話，要對條條框框說不，所以C選項是正確答案。

【4】G. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse從前句Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about, 可知后一空與前一空形成因果關(guān)系，腦子里裝滿了條條框框只會使情況變得更糟。

【5】A. You aren’t like anybody else小標題為·You are a special person not a clone以及treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits可以得出答案You aren't like anybody else（與眾不同）。
