Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從對(duì)話后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. 【1】

So, you have to give a speech and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”

Cheer up! 【2】 Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 【3】 Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. 【4】 And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience. If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the span>experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches ! You’re not convinced yet? 【5】

【解析】

試題分析：演講時(shí)我們都想成功，但難免當(dāng)眾緊張、忘詞、結(jié)巴，文章告訴我們緩解演講緊張的具體方法。

【1】C考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。開頭說(shuō)我們都想做好演講，但有時(shí)多數(shù)人做不好。C項(xiàng)承接上句，引出下文，故選C.

【2】A考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。上段講演講時(shí)的具體表現(xiàn)，此處講振奮起來(lái)，下面的方法能幫到你。A項(xiàng)連接這兩個(gè)句子承上啟下，故選A.

【3】F考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。下句中的their和them都指your audience，所以此處講怎樣對(duì)待你的聽眾們，F(xiàn)項(xiàng)符合文意，故選F.

【4】D考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。上句講演講要簡(jiǎn)潔明了，D項(xiàng)：說(shuō)你必須說(shuō)的然后停止，與上句連接，故選D.

【5】G考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。句意：事實(shí)上，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這種經(jīng)歷是如此令人愉快以至于你會(huì)踴躍參加更多演講。是不是你還不太確信，試試看會(huì)發(fā)生什么。G項(xiàng)順承上句，故選G.
