Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】G

【3】E

【4】C

【5】F

【解析】

试题分析：本文主要就如何在众人面前克服恐惧进行成功的演讲提出了若干建议。

【1】D此空前后句都提到了“practice”，故D项中的The more you have it memorized, the better对空前句做补充说明。

【2】G根据空前句The speech organizers must have seen…．可以看出你受邀做演讲时因为组织者看中了你的专长，G项The knowledge of other people's respect刚好与此句对应。

【3】E空前句fear of public speaking is very common刚好与E项it's normal to feel nervous or stressed out是顺承关系。

【4】C此空为本段主题句，根据空后句mention the good work state 和state why you want to help these people可知C项合适，F项为干扰项。

【5】F根据此空后句pick one person in each section可知在此之前应该separate the crowd into three sections故选择F。

关于小标题的选择

七选五题型空格的设计主要分布在句首、句中、句尾，另一种就是小标题的空格设计。凡是作为标题的句子，一定要短小精悍，概括性强，多数用祈使句。本文第39空是主题句，相当于一个小标题。【4】C此空为本段主题句，根据空后句mention the good work state 和state why you want to help these people可知C项合适，F项为干扰项。
