【答案】

1.G2.A3.C4.B5.D

【分析】

本文是说明文。文章介绍了成为好的演讲者需要掌握的一些原则。

1.本文主题是介绍成为好的演讲者要掌握的一些原则。上句提到有些人生来就有演讲的天赋。G项:然

而，大多数人之所以能成为有影响的演讲者，是因为他们受过训练。与上句转折，引出本文主题-演讲者

要训练。故选G。

2.下句FocusonIhespeaking.是本段主题，建议演讲者把注意力集中在演讲上。上句提到一种常见现象，

当站起来发表演讲时，演讲者往往会把注意力放在“公众"匕而不是“演讲“上。这是错误的做法，A项Do

theopposite.承上启下，说明了上句做法的错误，引出了下句正确的做法。故选A。

3.本段提到即使成功的演讲者也会犯错误，观众不会太在意你的错误。上句建议当出错时不要停止演

讲，除非是非常严重的错误。C项:你不需要为一个小失误道歉。与上句承接，是对待演讲出错的方法。故

选C。

4.本段是说明练习的重要性。上句提到你的目标不是成为一个完美的演说家，下句应该说明目标是什

么。B.Youwanttobeaneffectivepublicspeaker.与上句衔接，是我们演讲的真正目的。故选B1>

5.下文提到观众并不是认为演讲越长越好，根据Alwaysmakeyourpresentationjustabitshorterthan

anticipated.可知，作者建议让演讲比预期的短一点，给观众更多的期待胜过让他们坐立不安地等待演讲结

束。D项:公开演讲时，通常少就是多。说明了演讲时，多和少的辩证关系。故选D。

高考高考阅读理解之七选五命题特点及阅读技巧

句子在段中的位置不同，所起的作用也不同。命题人之所以采用段首、段中和段尾三种挖空方式，正是

利用挖空位置的暗示作用和挖空上下文的提示作用，来考查考生的逻辑思维能力。段首、段中、段尾题在文

中所起的作用可归纳为下表：

挖空位置逻辑关系具体解读

主旨句常以段落小标题或主题句的形式出现。

例证关系子）。常见的表示例证关系的标志词语有：forexample,for

instance,infact/asamatteroffact,actually,inotherwords/thatisto

say等。

若空格前后两句之间是逻辑上的逆转，则空格处很有可能表示

转折。表示转折关系的标志词语有：but,however,yet,

转折关系

while/though/although,or/otherwise,onthecontraiy,instead,

段中题

nevertheless（然而）,still,incontrast/comparison,bycomparison等。

表示因果关系的标志词语有：so,therefore,thus,consequently（结

因果关系

果）,asaresult（of）,so/such...thatsothat...等。
