【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章介紹了公眾演講的一些好處。

【1】

前一句提到：你可能想在觀眾面前獲得自信，或者你可能想?yún)⒓诱�治辯論。該句講到了進(jìn)行公眾演講的一些目的。承接該句，C選項(xiàng)（無(wú)論你的目標(biāo)是什么，公眾演講都能幫助你實(shí)現(xiàn)它）符合語(yǔ)境，尤其是C中的Whatever your goal is與上文自然銜接。故選C。

【2】

空后一句提到：在這個(gè)過程中，你的信心會(huì)增強(qiáng)。那么，該空應(yīng)該對(duì)空后一句中提到的“this process”做出明確解釋。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，F(xiàn)選項(xiàng)（與聽眾的聯(lián)系提醒著你有寶貴的觀點(diǎn)可以分享）符合語(yǔ)境。在和聽眾聯(lián)系的過程中，你的自信會(huì)大大提高。故選F。

【3】

空前提到：有效的公眾演講技巧對(duì)職業(yè)發(fā)展是有益的，因?yàn)樗�體現(xiàn)了創(chuàng)造力、批判性思維能力和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力。所有這些品質(zhì)對(duì)于就業(yè)市場(chǎng)來(lái)說(shuō)都非常重要。他們還能讓你在工作中脫穎而出。該部分介紹的公眾演講對(duì)職業(yè)發(fā)展的好處。該空承接上文，應(yīng)對(duì)此做出更明確的解釋。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，E選項(xiàng)（你將學(xué)會(huì)在會(huì)議上發(fā)言，把自己表現(xiàn)得很專業(yè)）符合語(yǔ)境。故選E。

【4】

空前提到：當(dāng)你寫一篇演講的時(shí)候，你必須仔細(xì)思考最好的框架、說(shuō)服策略和語(yǔ)言來(lái)向觀眾傳達(dá)你的信息。B選項(xiàng)中的“This type of thinking”與空前內(nèi)容自然銜接。因此，B選項(xiàng)（這種思維方式可以提高你的溝通能力）符合語(yǔ)境。故選B。

【5】

空后一句提到：從古至今，人們都在使用這種力量來(lái)改變世界，這已經(jīng)不是什么秘密了。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，G選項(xiàng)中的a powerful way和空后的the power一致，故G選項(xiàng)（公眾演講是團(tuán)結(jié)人們并激勵(lì)他們采取行動(dòng)的有力方式）符合語(yǔ)境。故選G。

詞語(yǔ)重現(xiàn)是指詞語(yǔ)的重復(fù)出現(xiàn)，但這里不是指詞語(yǔ)的簡(jiǎn)單重現(xiàn)，而是指某詞語(yǔ)可能以不同詞類、詞性、數(shù)、格、時(shí)態(tài)、語(yǔ)態(tài)等形式出現(xiàn)。還可能是以同義詞、近義詞甚至反義詞等形式出現(xiàn)。例如，第4小題中，空前的think和B選項(xiàng)中的thinking；第5小題中，空后的power和G選項(xiàng)中的powerful都屬于此類情況。
