Answer 1

分析 本文為一篇說(shuō)明文，文章由"一問(wèn)一答"組成，解答篇有"導(dǎo)語(yǔ)和三個(gè)要點(diǎn)"構(gòu)成．文章首先介紹了"我"在公司獲得了一個(gè)重要職位，新任務(wù)之一便是在其他公司高層領(lǐng)導(dǎo)面前，就"我"所在部門所取得的進(jìn)展，作每月一次的進(jìn)展報(bào)告．在第一次會(huì)議上，我做完報(bào)告后大家便開(kāi)始自由提問(wèn)，可是有很多難以回答的問(wèn)題，在這種公司會(huì)議上如何沉著冷靜、有效地回答提問(wèn)呢？下面是就這一問(wèn)題的答復(fù)．

解答 71．D 承上啟下型．根據(jù)前一句"…I presented and then opened the floor to questions．"以及下句"My first reaction was to answer defensively．"可知應(yīng)選D．
72．C 概括總結(jié)型．本段為開(kāi)篇語(yǔ)，解答者先是總體上回答咨詢者的問(wèn)題，接著才是具體的建議或?qū)Σ撸瓽有一定的干擾性，但接下來(lái)的三個(gè)要點(diǎn)不是對(duì)下一次會(huì)議的具體的建議，G不太合適．故選C．
73．A 概括主題型．本空為第一個(gè)要點(diǎn)，根據(jù)要點(diǎn)下的解釋語(yǔ)中的"show interest and a desire"可知選A．
74．F 承上啟下型．上句講的是通過(guò)重復(fù)問(wèn)題來(lái)贏得時(shí)間，下句主語(yǔ)"These techniques"，顯然該空是介紹另一個(gè)技巧，B、E和F與此關(guān)聯(lián)．但B與上句方法重復(fù)，可排除．
75．E 語(yǔ)篇拓展型．本段講的是"建議召開(kāi)一個(gè)一對(duì)一的會(huì)議"，上句講的是召開(kāi)一對(duì)一會(huì)議的好處之一，E講的也是召開(kāi)一對(duì)一會(huì)議的好處，是對(duì)最后一個(gè)要點(diǎn)"Suggest a private meeting．"的進(jìn)一步展開(kāi)．故選E．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 該類題型要求從短文后的七個(gè)選項(xiàng)中（均為完整的句子）選出五個(gè)能填入文章空處的最佳選項(xiàng)，主要考查考生對(duì)文章的整體內(nèi)容和結(jié)構(gòu)以及上下文邏輯意義的理解和掌握． 分析篇章結(jié)構(gòu)，把握全篇文脈是解題的關(guān)鍵．
