Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】G

【3】E

【4】C

【5】F

【解析】

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。
