22、案:delivered)解析:解析:本题询问不好的听众会关注什么。问题是从反面来问,而讲座是从正面来说的。讲座提到,善于聆听的听众不会那么在意讲者的言谈举止以及讲话方式。可见,不好的听众就会关注这些演讲方式。因此,这里考生需要稍微转一下弯,把delivery转换成动词,填delivered。(4).【T4】(分数:2.00)填空项1:_(正确答案:正确答案:comprehension is complete)解析:解析:本题询问我们要等到什么时候才能对别人的演讲做出评论。讲座提到,要等到完全理解了讲者的观点后才能对其做出评价。因此,这里填comprehension is complete。(5

34、众的好感。因此,本题的答案为the good will或者benevolence。考生在遇到一些专有名词的时候不要慌张,因为通常后面紧接着就是英文解释。(3).【T3】(分数:2.00)填空项1:_(正确答案:正确答案:the audiences intelligence)解析:解析:本题考查进行学术讲演的第二个黄金法则,即“不要低估观众的智商”。因此本题填入the audiences intelligence。(4).【T4】(分数:2.00)填空项1:_(正确答案:正确答案:difficult/demanding/difficult and demanding)解析:解析:本节最后部分提到

36、填入ramble on。(7).【T7】(分数:2.00)填空项1:_(正确答案:正确答案:Wrap up/Conclude)解析:解析:演讲人提到,负责任的主持人会在议定的时间提示你时间到了,但是不要等到主持人的提示才停止,要在主持人站起来,或者学生为赶往下一堂课而匆忙离席之前就应该结束你的讲演。因此本题的答案为wrap up或者conclude。(8).【T8】(分数:2.00)填空项1:_(正确答案:正确答案:survey)解析:解析:本题考查第四个黄金法则,即不要笼统地调查整个学术领域。本题可填入survey。(9).【T9】(分数:2.00)填空项1:_(正确答案:正确答案:summ
37、arizing)解析:解析:在解释第四个黄金法则时,演讲人指出,可以在提到主要观点之前涉及一些论点和看法,但是不需要以总结整个学术领域的研究内容为导人。因此本题的答案为summarizing。(10).【T10】(分数:2.00)填空项1:_(正确答案:正确答案:two or three)解析:解析:这里考查的是对每一张幻灯片应该用多少时间。原文提到每一张幻灯片应该有三分钟,或至少要有两分钟。因此这里应该填two or three。(11).【T11】(分数:2.00)填空项1:_(正确答案:正确答案:advocate)解析:解析:第五个黄金法则是:你是在倡导,而不是在辩护。答案应为advoc
