解析:

本文说明的是如何让演讲更有魅力。完成本完形填空要结合日常生活中人们做演讲的实际和作者的思路结合在一起。

1. B 演讲持续了不到三分钟,这四个词中只有last(持续)后面可以接时间,继续(continued)看起来对但是没有这样的用法,广播(broadcast),走(went)就更不合适了。

2. A 你的演讲不会为人们长时间的记住,但是(but)你可以应用以下的方法让听众拥有可能最后的演讲。虽然(though),和(and),因此(therefore)等等都不是表转折的意思。

3. B你可以应用(就是听从并应用:follow)以下的方法让听众拥有可能最后的演讲。心理上的接受(accepting),复制(copying),记住(remembering),这些不能使句意通顺。

4. A 别使用难以发音(pronounce)的词语,因为是做演讲,所以不能是理解(understand),学会(learn),和听(listen)。

5. B 避免使用技术专业术语(terms),而不是句子(sentences),发音(pronunciations),和意思(meanings)。

6. A 在大脑(minds)中形成思维图画,而不是笔记(notes),话(words),和磁带(tapes)。

7. C 上文就说是思维(mental)图画,这儿也是,根本不是智力(intellectual),生理(physical),和视觉(visual)方面的思维。

8. C 保存必要的统计数据(statistics),上文已经提到这个,不会是信息(information),概念(terms),和单词(words)。

9. A 幽默可能是一条有效的让你的听众高兴(使……高兴:amuse)地方法,控制(control),说服(persuade),驾驶(drive),明显不符合常理。

10. D 幽默可以缓解听众的紧张(tension),而不是注意力(attention),可怕(terror),悲伤(sorrow)。

11. A 就是要确保你的幽默对于你正在对着讲(speaking)的听众是合适恰当的。是讲话,不是涉及(referring),导致(leading),和归功于(owing)。

12. B 你的演讲可能将会要么告知要么是说服(persuade)你的听众采取行动帮助福利组织等等。演讲的功能就是告知或者说服(persuade)别人,而不是帮助(help),强迫(force),和困住(trap)别人。

13. B 这样一来,你就能看清对于听众来说你看起来将会是怎样的(how),而不是什么(what),为什么(why),更不是在哪儿(where)。

14. D 感觉更舒适,就是放松(relax),而不是睡觉(sleep),休息(rest),和让别人舒适(comfort)。

15. A 确保比平常(normal)讲话的声音大一些,晚了(later),以前(previous),故意的(intentional)显得不符合语境。

16. D 这样一来就能很容易的让全体的听众(audience)听到你的演讲,而非仅仅是前几排。演讲的对象就是听众,而非演讲(speeches),男演员(actors)和朋友(friends)。

17. A 记得要放慢(slow)语速,不会是加速(speed),停止(stop),和燃烧(turn)。

18. B 你也可以安排提前或在演讲期间把相应的可视材料分发(passed out)给听众,而不是检票出去(checked out),拿出(brought out),和遗漏(left out)

19. B 这样一来听众就可以把他们记下的内容带回家去看(就是再看一遍:review),根本不会是卖了(sell),扔了(throw),或者邮寄出去(mail)。

20. A 记住去感谢(thank)请你做演讲的人,不是去找到(find),教学(teach),帮助(assist)他们。
