题目解答

答案

根据题目，我们需要找出关于公共演讲最流行的神话是什么。文章第一段明确指出：“Perhaps the most popular myth about public speaking is that it is a particular activity reserved for unusual occasions.” 这表明最流行的神话是“公共演讲是一种仅限特殊场合的特殊活动”。 选项分析： A. 公共演讲会让人感到害怕。 B. 公共演讲是沟通的平台。 C. 公共演讲对职业人士有益。 D. 公共演讲是一种特殊活动。 根据原文，最符合的选项是D。A项未提及“最流行”，B项未提及“平台”，C项未提及“职业人士”。只有D项“公共演讲是一种特殊活动”与原文“a particular activity reserved for unusual occasions”完全对应。 答案：D. Public speaking is a special activity.

解析

考查要点：本题考查学生对文章核心观点的定位能力，需要准确识别文中明确提出的“最流行神话”的具体内容。
解题思路：

  1. 定位关键句：文章首段明确指出“最流行神话”的定义和具体内容。
  2. 排除干扰项：需对比选项与原文描述的匹配度，注意原文中“particular activity reserved for unusual occasions”这一核心表述。

关键步骤解析：

  1. 锁定原文关键句：
    原文中明确提到：“Perhaps the most popular myth about public speaking is that it is a particular activity reserved for unusual occasions.”（最流行的神话是“公共演讲是为特殊场合保留的特殊活动”）。
  2. 分析选项对应性：
    • 选项D“Public speaking is a special activity”直接对应原文中的“a particular activity reserved for unusual occasions”，完全匹配。
    • 选项A“Public speaking brings people to fear”未提及“最流行”这一限定，且文章未将“恐惧”作为神话的核心内容。
    • 选项B“Public speaking is a platform for communication”未涉及“特殊场合”的限定，与原文描述不符。
    • 选项C“Public speaking benefits professional people”未提及“活动性质”，且文章未强调职业人士的受益性。

结论：只有选项D与原文核心表述完全一致。
