Thus, the speaker needs to look for common ground with the audience and try to relate to
16、what they might agree on. The last type is a ceremonial speech. It tends to be less formal and more personal than the other types of speeches. No matter how well you know the person you are giving speech to, try not to say bad things about them, even if it is meant to be a joke._2_ Sparing some time
17、 to practice will help build confidence and help determine how long the presentation will last. Aside from it, knowing who the audience will be is quite necessary. Try to get as much information as possible regarding this particular area related to the audience. Knowing the “battlefield” in advance
18、will give the speakers a huge advantage.Language is the main aspect a speaker needs to pay attention to while giving a speech. _3_ A speaker needs to choose their words carefully and make it clear to the audience what they mean.

19、em something new and useful. _4_ Language and delivery (演讲方式) alone will not be sufficient if the speaker does not have the body language.

21、 it with a special message and encourage the audience to ask questions.FKnowing how public speaking is done is a key part in understanding the importance of it.GThus, the speaker needs to know how to deliver their speech to fulfill the audiences expectation.本文介绍了公共演讲的几个类型以及做好演讲所需注意的事项。1C解析:从结构上看,第二段
22、首先介绍了公共演讲的三种目的;接下来对这三种目的分别介绍了其对应的演讲类型以及注意事项,空处位于介绍informative speech这种类型之后,应是说明它的注意事项,故C项表述不要输入太多的信息符合语境。其中information是关键提示词。2D解析:本空是段首句。本段讲述了公共演讲的两个注意事项。下文“Aside from it.is quite necessary”讲的是第二个注意事项:要提前了解观众是谁。接着进一步阐述了注意事项。空后讲的是多加练习对于演讲的好处,由此可推知,空处应是第一个注意事项,并且与空后一句中的“practice”相呼应,故选D。3A解析:本空是段中句。空前
23、一句是说语言是演讲中需注意的主要方面。空处应是对其进行进一步的说明,关键词是Language,A项中的It可推知指的就是Language,且根据空后的“make it clear to the audience”可知,A项“它(语言)需要使用得很清楚”符合语境。4G解析:本空是段中句。空前讲的是观众期待演讲者能给他们新的有用的东西,故G项“因此,演讲者需要了解如何发表他们的演讲来满足观众的期待”与空前一句构成逻辑上的因果关系,所以答案是G。5E解析:本空是段尾句。空前讲的是演讲者可以重申要点,提醒观众所讲的重要事情来结束演讲,空处应是叙述另一种结束主式,故E项符合语境。.短文改错Last mo
