30、You see, it“s with an advertising company and they“ve asked all the applicants to give a talk as part of the selection process. I do want the job, so I“ve got to try and do something good. W: Well, what“ve you got to talk about? M: We can choose our own subject. I think that makes it harder. We just
31、 have to talk for twenty minutes. And we can use an overhead projector if we want. W: Right, then the first thing to do is to decide what you“re going to talk about. Pick something that you feel strongly about. That“ll make it easier for you to sound enthusiastic and interested yourself which is ver
32、y important if you want to hold your audience“s attention. M: So how on earth do I manage to sound enthusiastic and interested when I“m feeling scared out of my mind? W: Well, I suppose the first thing to do is to prepare your talk well so that you know exactly what you want to say and in what order
33、. Do not just read a script, that“s very dull for the listeners. Talk from brief notesyou can write them on cards, perhapsso that it sounds a bit more spontaneous than reading a prepared script and your eyes are free to make contact with the audience. If you feel really scared just before the talk,
34、take a deep breath; that should be enough to calm you down. M: Anything else about how I should speak? I mean, slowly or fast?

38、音讲到演讲前选取一个擅长的话题很重要，必须做好充分准备，清楚自己要讲什么并以什么顺序讲，同时要有激情且自己也感兴趣，这样才能使听众认真听讲。这分别与 A、B、C 项内容相对应。D 项表述不正确，应聘者的朋友建议写一些简短的笔记(notes)在卡片上，这样能使整个演讲显得更加流畅，而不是纯粹的读稿子，他并没有说把整个稿子(scripts)都写在卡片上。A.Not fast, not slowly.B.With a bit of change.

39、 is the appropriate pace for a talk? 解析 在第一部分对话的最后，男士问女士，演讲速度是要快一些还是慢一些。女士则坦然，有一些节奏变化是个好主意(a bit of variation is a good idea)，因此不难判断应选 B项。A.Great general knowledge.B.Frequent interaction.C.More spontaneity.D.Good intonation. 解析：听力原文 What should be paid attention to during a talk? 解析 此题询问在演讲过程中要注意什么。
40、其中女士说到声音的起伏也很重要，这会让人听起来没那么单调。因此 D项的 intonation是需要注意的。女士没有提到演讲人要有很好的学识，也没提到要与观众频繁互动和更多的即兴发挥，排除 A、B 和 C项。（分数：10.00）A.It produces a visual effect and makes the talk more dynamic.B.It makes the talk well delivered and more attractive to the audience.

42、understand the points you“re making. Any visual aids you use will interest the audience and will provide some welcome variety to your presentation. Perhaps you could take something else with you to illustrate your talk too. M: I“ll think about thatonce I“ve made up my mind about what I“m going to ta
43、lk about! What about the talk itself? Any tips there? W: Well, it“s difficult when you don“t know what you“ve going to talk about yet but I suppose some things are relevant whatever the subject. Make sure you get off to a good start. Outline for your audience what you“re planning to talk about. Also
44、 try to say something interesting or amusing or striking in some way at the very outset so that you capture their attention at the start. Then it“s almost as important to finish on a high with a clear and memorable conclusion. In other words, remember that first and last impressions are particularly
45、 significant. M: And what about the middle? W: Well, the middle part of what you say can take care of itself in a way. Just remember make the structure and point of what you“re saying obvious to the audience. Don“t be afraid to rephrase and summaries your main points to make sure you get them across
46、. But make it enjoyable for the audience too by being amusing, if appropriate, or by, perhaps, illustrating points you make with an anecdote or an analogy.

C.It gives the presenter a logic mind.D.It amuses both
49、 the presenter and audience.解析：听力原文 What do we learn about visual aids? 解析 谈到视觉帮助时，女士说任何一种视觉帮助都会引起观众的兴趣，因此选择 B项。A.Entertain the audience by telling jokes.B.Outline your main points to the audience. C.Find a clear and memorable conclusion.D.Say something that relevant to the subject.解析：听力原文 After getting off a good start, what does the woman suggest to do next? 解析 女士谈完要有一个好的开始之后，接着说 Outline for your audience what you“re planning to talk about。由此可见，B 项的表述最接近女士的原意。A.It is not as significant as the first and last parts.
