【解析】

這是一篇說明文。作為一名學生，你可能會被要求在班級或學校發(fā)表演講。你怎樣才能以一種有趣的方式讓你的聽眾理解你的觀點呢?短文介紹了一些幫助讀者實現(xiàn)演講目標的小技巧。

【1】由下文每段的小標題“Practice makes perfect.”熟能生巧“Consider your audience.”考慮你的聽眾“Use note cards wisely.”明智地使用卡片“Slow down your speed.”放慢你的語速�？芍�，每段都在介紹實現(xiàn)演講目標的小技巧。所以選項起到總起下文的作用。故F選項“下面是一些幫助你實現(xiàn)演講目標的小技巧”切題。故選F項。

【2】由下文“Practice. Practice your speech in front of a mirror to get an idea of how to improve your body language and gestures.”可知，在鏡子前練習你的演講，以便了解如何改善你的肢體語言和手勢。所以下文是對空處選項的回答。故C選項“他們成功的關鍵是什么？”切題。故選C項。

【3】由下文“The more you can relate your points to their own experiences, the better your speech will be.”可知，你越能把你的觀點和他們自己的經歷聯(lián)系起來，你的演講就會越精彩。所以選項承接下文。故G選項“找一些他們可能感興趣的話題”切題。故選G項。

【4】由上文“If you’re allowed to use notes when speaking, considering putting your main points on note cards.”可知，如果你被允許在演講時使用筆記，考慮把你的要點寫在筆記卡上。所以選項與上文為轉折關系。故E選項“但不要把整句話都寫在卡片上”切題。故選E項。

【5】由下文“The biggest mistake teen speakers make is talking too fast. It usually happens when you’re feeling anxious. You can prevent yourself from speeding by practicing your speech ahead of time for a friend or listening to a tape recorder.”可知，青少年說話的最大錯誤就是語速太快。你感到焦慮的時候，語速就會很快。你可以通過提前為朋友演練演講或聽錄音機來防止自己語速過快。所以本段主要在說放慢語速也就是選項本段的標題所要說明的內容。故A選項“放慢語速”切題。故選A項。

找出句子之間的連接性的詞語是解決7選5題型的重要解題方法， 文章的語句間的組合，除了從語句間的意義關系分析外，還可借助句子之間的連接性詞語來把握，因為連接性詞語能表明這個語段句與句之間、層與層之間的基本關系有承接關系（如 so, therefore, thus, hence, accordingly, consequently, as a result 等）平列關系（如first, second, third…; firstly, secondly, thirdly…; first, next, then…; in the first place, in the second place…; for one thing, for another thing…;to begin with, to conclude 等）。轉折關系（如 however, nevertheless, nonetheless, still, though, yet, in spite of, at any rate, in any case, whoever, whatever on the contrary, in contrast, by contrast, in comparison, by comparison, conversely, otherwise 等）。層遞關系（如 also, further, furthermore, likewise, similarly, moreover, in addition, what’s more, too, either, neither, not…but…, not only…but also 等）。

由上文“If you’re allowed to use notes when speaking, considering putting your main points on note cards.”可知，如果你被允許在演講時使用筆記，考慮把你的要點寫在筆記卡上。所以選項與上句為轉折關系。故E選項“但不要把整句話都寫在卡片上”切題。故小題4選E項。
