Answer 1

这篇文章介绍了成功演讲的技巧。或许演讲是件困难的事情，但如果你能摆脱紧张，准备好材料，让话题接近听众，恰到好处，你就会发现演讲是一件令人愉悦的事情。

1. B考查转折关系。由后文中的"and you are terrified,you stumble over words,you talk too long,and you bore your audience",可知B项的结构和信息与之相配。

2. E考查总分关系。依据前文的"你不必紧张" 和后文的具体策略，可以推断E起着衔接上下文的作用。

3. A考查递进关系。后文提及如何对待听众，因此B项符合空缺之意。

4. D考查总分关系。本段说明演讲所要做的准备，只要做好准备，演讲并不是难事。

D项作为段首十分合适。

5. F考查因果关系。根据后文"in fact,you may find the experience so enjoyable"可以推断，F项合适。
