it's a leader's tone of voice __3__ is actually important.

Researchers from the University of California analyzed the vocal styles of four US politicians. They found that while all of them presented __4__ (complete) different messages, they __5__ (change) their voices in similar ways, depending on the audience.

“Politicians use voice as a strong tool __6__ (convey) their charm，” Rosario Signorello, one of the researchers behind the work, said at a recent conference.

When it comes to politics, it's not only about __7__ you say but how you say it. There's a good reason why some of the most successful politicians, for better or worse, are also known as outstanding __8__ (speak), able to persuade large and diverse crowds with __9__ (attraction) speeches. But it's not just about the words they choose; the same paragraph might sound boring in a flat speaker's voice but beautiful when __10__ (recite) by a Shakespearean actor.

1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________ 5．________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________ 9．________ 10.________

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的是领导者的演说魅力的来源。 1．to 考查介词。(be) contrary to “与……相反”，为固定搭配。

2．is delivered 考查动词的时态和语态。本文阐述一种研究成果，且全文用一般现在时作为基本时态，因此此处应用一般现在时；又因speech和deliver “发表”之间是被动关系，所以要用被动语态。

3．that 考查强调句式。一项新的研究表明，一个领导者的语调才是真正重要的东西。本句为强调句的基本句型：It's＋被强调部分＋that＋其他部分，句中被强调的部分a leader's tone of voice为主语。

4．completely 考查词性转换。修饰形容词应用副词completely。

5．changed 考查动词的时态。根据上文的 “analyzed”“found”可知，此处表示发生在过去的事情，故应用一般过去时。

6．to convey 考查非谓语动词。政治家们把声音作为一种有力的工具来表现他们的魅力。use sth. to do sth. “用某物做某事”为固定用法，故空处填to convey。

7．what 考查宾语从句的连接词。当谈及政治的时候，它不仅关乎所说的内容，也关乎你表达它的方式。设空处在句中引导从句作about的宾语，且在从句中作say的宾语，故用what，意为“……的事物、东西”。

8．speakers 考查词性转换。根据语境可知，此处表示一些最成功的政治家也被称为杰出的演讲者。空格前有形容词outstanding作定语，故空格处应填名词，且speaker “演讲者”是可数名词，其前无限定词，故应用其复数形式speakers。

- 9 -

9．attractive 考查词性转换。空格处在句中作定语修饰名词speeches，故应用形容词attractive “有吸引力的”。

10．recited 考查非谓语动词。句子主语the same paragraph与recite之间是被动关系，应用其过去分词形式，构成状语从句的省略形式。
