Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】E

【4】F

【5】D

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了如何充滿自信地演講。

【1】C 根據(jù)上句：大多數(shù)人對公開演講很緊張�？芍�下句應(yīng)該是在講消除緊張的方法，C項“應(yīng)付緊張的最好辦法是做好充分的準(zhǔn)備”符合語境。

【2】B 根據(jù)空格下句：在你演講期間，試著改變你的面部表情來表達(dá)你的情緒。可知上句表達(dá)的意思是“演講前微笑表明你不緊張”。故選B。

【3】E 根據(jù)空格上句：如果觀眾多，盡力地去看房間的中間，----�？芍�空格處的意思是：不要看地板、天花板和窗外。故選E。

【4】F 此空是小標(biāo)題。下文講的內(nèi)容是Enthusiasm的重要性，故F項Speaking with enthusiasm（充滿熱情地說）概括本段內(nèi)容。

【5】D 根據(jù)上句：如果你解釋復(fù)雜的信息，放慢速度。故D項If you are happy or enthusiastic, you should speed up.（如果你高興或充滿熱情，你應(yīng)該加速。）與之相匹配，故選D。
