第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Public Speaking Training
?Get a coach
51.________,so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.
?Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. 52.________, so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do.
?53.________
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about. 54.________. As far as we're concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.
?You are a special person not a clone
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 55.________. Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.
A. You aren't like anybody else
B. You already do lots of things well C. Turn your back on too many rules D. Check the rules about dos and don'ts
E.Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough F.The one thing you don't want is for them to fall asleep
G.So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse 51.E 考查上下文的语境理解。结合后面的so get help“得到帮助”,与E项中的tough“艰难的”呼应,指无论什么报告,公共演讲是比较难的,因此需要帮助。
52.B 考查上下文的语境理解。空格前面的doing well与B项中的do?well意义相同,都是指做得好,故选B。
53.C 考查上下文的语境理解。本段的“If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts,walk away!如果你发现一个公共演讲课程是想告诉你大量的该做什么,不该做什么的内容的话,就走开!”说明不要理睬这些所谓的规则,故选C。
54.G 考查上下文的语境理解。结合前面的“Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about.”可知你的头脑中已经装满了这些内容,所以再听一些规则会更糟糕的,故选G。
55.A 考查上下文的语境理解。根据本段的小标题中的special可知你是一个特殊的人,因此与A中的“You aren't like anybody else”意义相同。

【解析】
1.去掉of 考查介词的用法。read是一个及物动词,不需要使用介词。 2.Have改为Having 考查非谓语动词。这里是v.-ing短语作主语。动词原形不能作主语。
3.that改为which that不能引导非限制性定语从句,which引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中作主语。
4.becomes改为became 考查时态。上下文的时态都是一般过去时。全文谈论的是一件过去的事情。
5.在day前加the 考查冠词的用法。这里指每一天的另一顿饭,属于特指的情况。 6.Interesting改为Interestingly 考查形容词和副词。这里使用副词修饰整个句子,作状语。
7.by改为with/to 考查介词。 have a connection with/to和??有联系,是一个固定词组。
8.drank改为drunk 考查动词语态。 前面有was,后面应该使用过去分词,构成
