Your speech probably won"t be as long-remembered, 2 you can still strive to give your audience the best speech possible by 3 these simple tips:
Write and rewrite the material in your speech until it sounds exactly right to your own ears. Don"t use words that are hard to 4 . Avoid technical 5 or keep them to a minimum whenever possible.
Remember to use descriptive phrases so your listeners can get a mental picture in their 6 of what you are talking about. People don"t want to be told, they want to be given a 7 picture so they can better understand your words.
Avoid using a lot of statistics that will put your audience asleep in their seats. Keep necessary 8 in your speech to a minimum amount.
Humor can be an effective way to 9 your audience, Humor can also effectively lessen 10 , especially yours. You can use short jokes or personal anecdotes for this purpose. Just make sure your humorous material is appropriate for the audience you are 11 to.
Your speech will probably either inform or 12 your listeners to take action in order to help a charitable organization, etc. Be sure to include localized information in your speech that meet your audience"s specific needs.
Read your speech out loud several times to hear how it will sound to your audience. Practice giving your speech in front of a mirror. That way you can see 13 you are going to look to the audience. This technique can help you 14 and feel more comfortable.
Make sure to speak a little louder than 15 conversation when you are giving your speech so that you can be easily heard by the entire 16 , not just the first few rows.
When you are giving your speech to your listeners, remember to 17 your speech down a little bit and don"t rush through the words.
You can arrange to have helpful visual aids 18 before, during, or right after the end of your speech. This way the audience will have written information they can take home with them and 19 later.
Remember to be an appreciative speaker and to 20 the person or persons who asked you to give the speech. Also remember to thank the audience for listening.

答案
解析
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。

举一反三
The program allows users to display alerts on the missing computer’s screen and even to set a spoken message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.
Owners must report their laptop missing by visiting a website, which sends a message to the model: a red and yellow “lost or stolen” sign appears on its screen when it is started. Under the latest version(版本)of the software, users can also send a spoken message.
The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds, no matter how many times the thief closes it.” One customer sent a message saying,’ You are being tracked. I am right at your door’,” said Carrie Hafeman, chief executive of the company which produces the program, Retriever.
In the latest version, people can add a spoken message. For example, the laptop’s speakers will say: “Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, report me now.”
The Retriever software package, which costs $29.95 but has a free trial period, has the functions of many security software programs .Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details.
If a thief accesses the internet with the stolen laptop, Retriever will collect information on the internet service provider in use, so that the police can be alerted to its location.
Thousands of laptops are stolen every year form homes and offices, but with the use of laptops increasing, the number stolen while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply.
Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.

When you hear a person’s name,repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
Ask the other person to recite and repeat.
You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone,ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.
Admit you don’t know.
Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”
Use associations.
Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example,you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair. " To reinforce you’re your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.
Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.
When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.
Go early.
Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That"s fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others—an automatic review for you.

So far,scientists have named about 1.8 million living species(物种),and that’s just a small number of what probably exists on Earth.With so many plants,animals,and other living things covering the planet,it can be tough to figure out what type of grass is growing by the roadside or what kind of bird just flew by.
A soon-to-be-started Web site might help.An international team of researchers has announced the creation of Web-based Encyclopedia(百科全书) of Life(EoL).The project aims to list every species on Earth in a single,easy-to-use reference guide.
To get the encyclopedia started,the creators will use information from scientific databases(数据库) that already exist.And eventually,in special sections of the site,non-scientists with specialized knowledge will come to help.Bird-watchers,for example,will be able to input what birds they’ve seen and where.To make sure the encyclopedia is accurate,scientists will review much of the information added to it.
As the EoL develops,you might find it useful for school projects.The site will feature(以……为特色)_____special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems in their neighborhoods.Another convenient feature of the EoL is that you’ll be able to pick the level of detail you want to see to match your interests,age,and knowledge.
It now takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to describe and analyze species.The creators of the Encyclopedia of Life hope that their new fool will speed up that process.
