It is said that Abraham Lincoln searched for exactly the right words to say to his audience in that history-making speech that   1  less than three minutes.

Your speech probably won't be as long-remembered,   2  you can still strive to give your audience the best speech possible by   3  these simple tips:

Write and rewrite the material in your speech until it sounds exactly right to your own ears. Don't use words that are hard to   4  . Avoid technical   5  or keep them to a minimum whenever possible.

Remember to use descriptive phrases so your listeners can get a mental picture in their   6  of what you are talking about. People don't want to be told, they want to be given a   7  picture so they can better understand your words.

Avoid using a lot of statistics that will put your audience asleep in their seats. Keep necessary   8  in your speech to a minimum amount.

Humor can be an effective way to   9  your audience, Humor can also effectively lessen   10  , especially yours. You can use short jokes or personal anecdotes for this purpose. Just make sure your humorous material is appropriate for the audience you are   11  to.

Your speech will probably either inform or   12  your listeners to take action in order to help a charitable organization, etc. Be sure to include localized information in your speech that meet your audience's specific needs.

Read your speech out loud several times to hear how it will sound to your audience. Practice giving your speech in front of a mirror. That way you can see   13  you are going to look to the audience. This technique can help you   14  and feel more comfortable.

Make sure to speak a little louder than   15  conversation when you are giving your speech so that you can be easily heard by the entire   16  , not just the first few rows.

When you are giving your speech to your listeners, remember to   17  your speech down a little bit and don't rush through the words.

You can arrange to have helpful visual aids    18  before, during, or right after the end of your speech. This way the audience will have written information they can take home with them and   19  later.

Remember to be an appreciative speaker and to   20  the person or persons who asked you to give the speech. Also remember to thank the audience for listening.

解析:

本文說(shuō)明的是如何讓演講更有魅力。完成本完形填空要結(jié)合日常生活中人們做演講的實(shí)際和作者的思路結(jié)合在一起。

1. B 演講持續(xù)了不到三分鐘,這四個(gè)詞中只有l(wèi)ast(持續(xù))后面可以接時(shí)間,繼續(xù)(continued)看起來(lái)對(duì)但是沒(méi)有這樣的用法,廣播(broadcast),走(went)就更不合適了。

2. A 你的演講不會(huì)為人們長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的記住,但是(but)你可以應(yīng)用以下的方法讓聽(tīng)眾擁有可能最后的演講。雖然(though),和(and),因此(therefore)等等都不是表轉(zhuǎn)折的意思。

3. B你可以應(yīng)用(就是聽(tīng)從并應(yīng)用:follow)以下的方法讓聽(tīng)眾擁有可能最后的演講。心理上的接受(accepting),復(fù)制(copying),記住(remembering),這些不能使句意通順。

4. A 別使用難以發(fā)音(pronounce)的詞語(yǔ),因?yàn)槭亲鲅葜v,所以不能是理解(understand),學(xué)會(huì)(learn),和聽(tīng)(listen)。

5. B 避免使用技術(shù)專(zhuān)業(yè)術(shù)語(yǔ)(terms),而不是句子(sentences),發(fā)音(pronunciations),和意思(meanings)。

6. A 在大腦(minds)中形成思維圖畫(huà),而不是筆記(notes),話(words),和磁帶(tapes)。

7. C 上文就說(shuō)是思維(mental)圖畫(huà),這兒也是,根本不是智力(intellectual),生理(physical),和視覺(jué)(visual)方面的思維。

8. C 保存必要的統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)(statistics),上文已經(jīng)提到這個(gè),不會(huì)是信息(information),概念(terms),和單詞(words)。

9. A 幽默可能是一條有效的讓你的聽(tīng)眾高興(使……高興:amuse)地方法,控制(control),說(shuō)服(persuade),駕駛(drive),明顯不符合常理。

10. D 幽默可以緩解聽(tīng)眾的緊張(tension),而不是注意力(attention),可怕(terror),悲傷(sorrow)。

11. A 就是要確保你的幽默對(duì)于你正在對(duì)著講(speaking)的聽(tīng)眾是合適恰當(dāng)?shù)。是講話,不是涉及(referring),導(dǎo)致(leading),和歸功于(owing)。

12. B 你的演講可能將會(huì)要么告知要么是說(shuō)服(persuade)你的聽(tīng)眾采取行動(dòng)幫助福利組織等等。演講的功能就是告知或者說(shuō)服(persuade)別人,而不是幫助(help),強(qiáng)迫(force),和困住(trap)別人。

13. B 這樣一來(lái),你就能看清對(duì)于聽(tīng)眾來(lái)說(shuō)你看起來(lái)將會(huì)是怎樣的(how),而不是什么(what),為什么(why),更不是在哪兒(where)。

14. D 感覺(jué)更舒適,就是放松(relax),而不是睡覺(jué)(sleep),休息(rest),和讓別人舒適(comfort)。

15. A 確保比平常(normal)講話的聲音大一些,晚了(later),以前(previous),故意的(intentional)顯得不符合語(yǔ)境。

16. D 這樣一來(lái)就能很容易的讓全體的聽(tīng)眾(audience)聽(tīng)到你的演講,而非僅僅是前幾排。演講的對(duì)象就是聽(tīng)眾,而非演講(speeches),男演員(actors)和朋友(friends)。

17. A 記得要放慢(slow)語(yǔ)速,不會(huì)是加速(speed),停止(stop),和燃燒(turn)。

18. B 你也可以安排提前或在演講期間把相應(yīng)的可視材料分發(fā)(passed out)給聽(tīng)眾,而不是檢票出去(checked out),拿出(brought out),和遺漏(left out)

19. B 這樣一來(lái)聽(tīng)眾就可以把他們記下的內(nèi)容帶回家去看(就是再看一遍:review),根本不會(huì)是賣(mài)了(sell),扔了(throw),或者郵寄出去(mail)。

20. A 記住去感謝(thank)請(qǐng)你做演講的人,不是去找到(find),教學(xué)(teach),幫助(assist)他們。
