Answer 1

分析 本文作者主要針對人們如何克服演講時的焦慮恐懼心理以做好演講提出了一些建議．

解答 答案：
71．C   內容歸納題   根據上文講到：在我們的生活中曾經需要做演講時，我們中的大部分人都沒能做好這件事；以及下文主要講述了做演講時的注意事項可知，此處應起到引起下文的作用，即表達了對如何做好講演提出了一些建議；故選C
72．A   細節推理題    根據第二段講到了我們以往演講時會經常出現的緊張，恐懼以及應付的心理狀況，以及上一句"Cheer up!（振作起來!）"表示的是鼓勵的語氣，故此處承接上文的內容，表達的意思應是：還不至于壞到那種程度；故選A
73．F    細節理解題    根據第三段中的"Don't talk over their heads，…They will appreciate your thoughtfulness．"（不要仰面而言或是埋頭而讀，尊重你的聽眾，他們會對你深表贊賞）可知，此處提到應是你對待觀眾的態度；故選F
74．D    細節推理題  由于第四段主要提到了在做演講時應記住的幾點事項，并且根據上一句"Be brief（要簡明扼要）"可知，此處的意思應是：說你需要說的，然后停止；故選D
75．G     細節推理題     根據第五段講到：按照上面的建議去做，不但會克服演講時的恐懼心理，而且可能還會使你發現這種體驗是如此地令人愉快并主動愿意去做更多的演講；故此處表達的應是鼓勵你按照作者的建議去試試；故選G
