13、ay use the blank sheet for note-taking. You have THIRTY seconds to preview the gap-filling task. 0 【听力原文】 Good morning. Today Id like to discuss with you about the secrets of good conversation: that is how to talk to anyone, anytime, anywhere. When someone tells you that you have to give a speech, y

14、our response may be “Ive got to do what?! “ But its important to remember that speeches are like anything else in life theres always a first time. (1)People even those who are wonderful talkers in a conversational setting are often terrified over the prospect of giving their first speech. Some are s

15、cared about it no matter how many speeches they have given before. I suspect you may have the same experience or have seen others in similar situations. I give speeches many times a year to groups of every possible description. (2)My secret is simply that I think of public speaking as no different f

16、rom any other form of talk. (3)Its a way of sharing my thoughts with other people. You know, in one sense, (4)/(5)its actually easier than social conversation because you are in complete control of where the talk is going. At the same time, you have to have something to say, of course. (6)This leads

17、 us to the first key of being a successful public speaker talk about something you know about. The second key to being a good speaker is to follow the motto of the Boy Scouts: be well prepared. Never go to a speech without some prior work on it. If you are talking about a subject you know well, as I

18、ve just advised, prepared, preparing the speech itself should not be too difficult. (7)/(8)If you let the audience know where you are going at the beginning, they will follow you more easily through the body of your speech. (9)At the end of your speech, try to summarize your most important points in

19、 slightly different words from the ones you used in your opening. Here are some other key tips based on my own speaking experience and what Ive noticed in other good speakers. (10)Look at your audience. Ive already said how important it is to make eye contact. First, be sure to look up from your tex

20、t or notes. Second, dont talk to the wall in the back or to the window or to the side. Theyre not the audience. Each time you look up from your text, look at a different part of the audience, so the whole group feels theyre being addressed. (11)Know the pacing and inflection you want to use in speec

21、h. Some speakers, if theyre reading from a complete text, underline the words they want to emphasize. If you are using an outline or notes, highlight ideas or phrases you should stress in your speech with a different coloured pen or something. This accomplishes two things: it guarantees that your em

22、phasis will be where you intend it to be, and it assures your audience that you wont be speaking in a dull monotone that will put them to sleep, especially if youre talking after a heavy meal. Stand up straight. I dont mean that you have to assume a parade-ground posture, but stand in a comfortable,

23、 natural way, rather than hunching over the lectern. Hunching constricts your breathing, and it makes you look bad as well. (12)If theres a microphone in front of you, adjust it to the right height, rather than forcing yourself to stoop during the speech. If you can, check this out before its your t

24、urn to speak. Talk normally into the microphone. If you speak at a high volume into it, you will actually be harder to hear. And be careful to keep your mouth in range of the mike; dont weave around or turn away to answer a question from the side. (13)Last but not least, a speaker has to keep in min

25、d the value of brevity. Its not easy to be brief, especially on a topic you know a lot about. But in any kind of communication, its always worth taking the time to boil your message down to its essentials. That emphasis on brevity applies even more when you are delivering a speech. The show business

26、 expression “know when to get off“ comes into play again. And the best public speakers always know when. Some of the longest speeches ever inflicted on the American public have been the inaugural addresses of our presidents. However, (14)one of the shortest inaugural addresses is also one of the bes

27、t remembered and most often quoted. It was delivered on January 20th, 1960, by John F. Kennedy. Kennedy spoke for less than fifteen minutes. (15)We can learn from these speakers, whose ability to talk effectively was central to their success, as is the case with so many successful people in every pr

28、ofession. Brevity is the first thing we can learn from them. If people like Kennedy are willing to keep it short to maximize their effectiveness as speakers, we should be smart enough to do the same thing. To sum up, Ive mentioned several key points in becoming a successful public speaker, such as g

29、ood preparation, audience awareness, brevity, etc. I hope youll find them very useful in making your speeches effective. Thank you. 【知识模块】 听力 1 【正确答案】 terrified/scared 【试题解析】 讲座一开始便提及们对首次演讲的反应，其中明确指出人们 (甚至是那些会谈中的健谈者 )在他们首次做演讲之前也会感到恐惧 (are often terrified over the prospect of )随后补充说有些之前做过很多演讲的人也还是会感到

31、a way of sharing my thoughts)。由于空格前有不定式 to，故填入动词原形 share。本题还可填入 exchange或 communicate，分享想法本身就相当于在交换或交流彼此的想法。 【知识模块】 听力 4 【正确答案】 social conversation 【试题解析】 本讲座的演讲者提到，在某种意义上，演讲实际上比社交性交谈更容易 (easier than social conversation)，因此空格处填入 social conversation。 【知识模块】 听力 5 【正确 答案】 content/essentials 【试题解析】 本讲座的

32、演讲者提到演讲实际上比社交性交谈更容易。因为演讲者可完全掌控接下来谈什么话题 (in a complete control of where the talk is going)。本题问及原因，可将讲座中提到的 where the talk is going总结、归纳为一个意思相近的词语，即 content或 essentials。 【知识模块】 听力 6 【正确答案】 familiarity 【试题解析】 讲座指出，成为一名 成功演讲者的第一个秘诀是谈你所知道的话题(talk about something you know about)。提纲中列出的第二个秘诀用了名词形式good prep

33、aration，为保持形式一致，此题也应概括为名词。 “谈论自己知道的话题 ”实际上就是熟悉或了解所谈的话题， familiarity和 knowledge都适用，但由于空格后是 with，故答案应填 familiarity。 【知识模块】 听力 7 【正确答案】 promote/facilitate 【试题解析】 讲座在介绍完成为成功演 讲者的秘诀后，补充提到应在演讲的开头和结尾如何做，以便听众跟上演讲者的思路。概括起来即介绍了辅助听众理解的方法，故空格处可填入或 facilitate或 promote。 【知识模块】 听力 8 【正确答案】 notify 【试题解析】 为了让观众更容易跟上

34、演讲的内容，讲座提到应在开头部分让听众知悉演讲者的思路，概括起来即告知演讲内容，可填入 notify。 【知识模块】 听力 9 【正确答案】 a summary 【试题解析】 为了让观众更容易跟上演讲的内容，讲座明确指出在演讲结 尾处应试着总结要点 (try to summarize your most important points)，且措辞要稍稍和演讲刚开始时所使用的词语不同。 with后面需接名词性成分。故此处应填summarize的名词形式 a summary。 【知识模块】 听力 10 【正确答案】 eye contact 【试题解析】 在提及演讲的其他技巧时，讲座给出的第一个建议

36、置，因此空格处填入 microphone。 【知识模块】 听力 13 【正确答案】 brief 【试题解析】 讲座提到的最后一个技巧是演讲者要牢记简短的重要性 (the value of brevity)，即演讲要简洁明了。空格前的 be表明此题应填入 brevity的形容词形式 brief。 【知识模块】 听力 14 【正确答案】 shortest/briefest 【试题解析】 讲座提到演讲要简短时，列举了美国总统肯尼迪的就职演说，指出肯尼迪在 1960年 1月 20日所做的演说是最简短、也是被记得最好、最 常被引用的就职演说之一。空格后用了形容词最高级 best remembered和

37、most quoted。故答案应是 shortest或 briefest。 【知识模块】 听力 15 【正确答案】 effective talking 【试题解析】 讲座提到，我们可以学习前面提到的那些演说者，有效交谈的能力(ability to talk effectively)是他们获取成功的关键。也是其他各行各业成功人士取得成功的关键。此空要求概括许多成功人士成功的关键。由前一个分点 inaugural speech of Kennedy可知，应填入名词性成分， ability to talk effectively超出了题目要求的填入三个词以内的限制，故应将其概括改为 effectiv
