Answer 1

分析 文章講述了在做演講的時(shí)候，當(dāng)腦海中一片空白時(shí)，如何做才能繼續(xù)演講，文章給出了幾條建議．

解答 36-40 DEBGC
36．D 上下文理解．根據(jù)前句Mary had feared the day she would draw a blank during a presentation可知，瑪麗害怕那天她會(huì)在演講時(shí)腦海一片空白，有一天在45分鐘演講中，真的發(fā)生了．故答案為D．
37．E 上下文語(yǔ)境．通過(guò)前句My nervousness went away when I concentrated not on myself，but instead just thought可知，當(dāng)我不考慮我自己時(shí)，緊張就沒(méi)有了，相反我在思考，我的演講如何才能幫助觀眾，故答案為E．
38．B 概括總結(jié)題．通過(guò)這段的介紹he gets to the location of his presentation the day before 他提前去場(chǎng)地、確保屏幕燈光正常運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)．所以該段標(biāo)題是提前做好準(zhǔn)備．
39．G 上文理解題．根據(jù)Whether you are giving a one-on-one talk or a speech in front of 400 people，think"story-telling"．無(wú)論你是在個(gè)體還是面對(duì)400人的演講，用將故事的方式，故下句也提到了Stories，即答案為G．
40．C 上下文語(yǔ)境．通過(guò)最后一句one thing that shocks people back into attention is to leave an almost uncomfortably long pause讓觀眾重回注意的方法是留一個(gè)時(shí)間稍長(zhǎng)的停頓，故答案為C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 題目要求從7個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選擇恰當(dāng)?shù)恼Z(yǔ)句填入空格處．這種類(lèi)型的題目關(guān)鍵是符合邏輯和語(yǔ)境，要強(qiáng)調(diào)從上下文中尋找具體的解題依據(jù)．
