试题分析:该类题型考查段落衔接和整段理解。本篇为说明文。文章讲述了进行公共演讲的训练要点。

纵览全文，F选项与文意无关，可以先行去除，将难度降低为从六个选项中选择五个。

【1】E. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough.根据下一句ready to offer you public speaking training and courses可知，开头说的是与public speaking 有关的问题，故选E。

【2】B. You already do lots of things well本题位于段中，通过上下文得出选项。后一句so good public speaking training should develop those与空格形成因果关系，所以空格中应表达“你已经做得很好了”的含义，所以B选项是正确答案。

【3】C. Turn your back on too many rules本题位于段首，为整段的主旨大意。本段第一句中提到lots of dos and don’t walk away!可知，如果有的培训讲太多的条条框框的话，要对条条框框说不，所以C选项是正确答案。

【4】G. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse从前句Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about, 可知后一空与前一空形成因果关系，脑子里装满了条条框框只会使情况变得更糟。

【5】A. You aren’t like anybody else小标题为·You are a special person not a clone以及treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits可以得出答案You aren't like anybody else（与众不同）。
