Question

Everyday we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat（閑談）with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout of appearing to force yourself.

Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease（輕松）but the situation is somewhat（一點(diǎn)兒）different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.

Answer 1

【小題1】C

【小題2】B

【小題3】D

【小題4】C

【小題5】A

解析:

【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的：You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself. 可以看出C項(xiàng)為正確答案，而A、B、D三項(xiàng)均與這句話意義不符，可排除。

【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文中的…where a large group of people will remain silent，可見(jiàn)B項(xiàng)為正確答案。 這里的silent與選項(xiàng)中的quiet同義，均意為“安靜”。

【小題3】事實(shí)判斷題。文章第一段告訴我們：在班上講話不同于在家中談話或閑聊，當(dāng)有一大群人安靜下來(lái)，等待你的講話時(shí)，你會(huì)感到有點(diǎn)不自然，由此可見(jiàn)，D項(xiàng)為最佳選項(xiàng)。

【小題4】文章最后一句：You must take special care that you can be heard.你應(yīng)特別注意你會(huì)被別人聽(tīng)到。很清楚地交代了答案應(yīng)選C項(xiàng)。這里take special care意為“特別注意，特別重視”。

【小題5】縱觀全文，不難得出這樣一個(gè)結(jié)論：在不同的場(chǎng)合應(yīng)采取不同的說(shuō)話方式，A項(xiàng)正有此意，故選之。
