Question

【題目】閱讀七選五

We have all seen nervous presenters in classrooms and meetings. One effect of being nervous is moving from side to side. 【1】 In fact the audience can lose interest in a speaker who does not move.

How a speaker moves is important. Wholebody movement should be slow and planned to command attention. Such movement helps to communicate confidence.

【2】 But they look at their notes on a paper or at the screen if they have an electronic presentation.

With posture, the typical problem for new speakers is that they are often moving back and forth, and they're not facing the audience. They'll often be facing the white board or the screen with slides and be talking to that rather than talking to the audience. The same thing with eye contact with the audience, they find it really, really difficult, because they'll be looking at their notes, they'll be looking at their computer, they'll be looking at the screen, or they will be looking at the floor. The problem of having notes and trying to talk from notes often is a big problem. 【3】 The best way to avoid this problem is to use images and few words for notes instead of sentences. The image should help communicate the point you want to make. Writing a few words with the image on your slide helps you remember that point. Then you can look at the audience while speaking.

【4】 When you practice, remember these important tips: be aware of your posture, eye contact, and gestures.

【5】 Then step bystep, you'll become an excellent speaker.

A．So they usually have eye contact with the audience.

C．An important part of public speaking is practice.

D．New public speakers know that they should look at the audience while they speak.

F．Improve your public speaking with body language.

G．Look for opportunities to speak and gain more confidence.

試題分析：

【1】下一句提到，觀眾們對(duì)于不動(dòng)的演講者沒(méi)有興趣，故E選項(xiàng)切題：演講者沒(méi)有必要站著不動(dòng)。

【2】下一句提到，但是，這些人會(huì)看他們的筆記或屏幕，故D選項(xiàng)切題：講話者知道他們應(yīng)該看觀眾。

【3】上文提到，這些人經(jīng)常看屏幕，看筆記，看地板。這是個(gè)大問(wèn)題。故承接上文，B選項(xiàng)切題：他們和觀眾們很少進(jìn)行眼神溝通。下文提到了對(duì)這個(gè)問(wèn)題的解決辦法。

【4】下文提到，在進(jìn)行練習(xí)的時(shí)候，要注意姿勢(shì)，眼神交流和手勢(shì)，故C選項(xiàng)切題：在公眾面前演講很重要的一件事就是練習(xí)。

【5】上文提到要練習(xí)。故承上啟下，G選項(xiàng)切題：尋找講話的機(jī)會(huì)，獲得自信。然后一步步的，你將會(huì)成為一個(gè)優(yōu)秀的演講者。
