题目解答

答案

这道题目考察的是我们在说话前通常会思考的内容。题目背景信息提到，我们在说话时，不仅要注意说什么，还要注意怎么说，包括语调、语速和音量等。但通常情况下，我们很少会特意去思考怎么说，除非是在一些特殊情况下，比如面试或绩效评估。 题目要求我们选择在说话前我们通常会思考的内容。根据题目背景信息，我们可以得出以下分析： - A. what we want to say（我们想说什么）：题目中提到，我们通常会 conscious（有意识地）考虑要说的内容，这与题目的描述一致。 - B. what the situation is（情况如何）：虽然情况会影响我们的说话方式，但题目中没有特别强调这一点。 - C. how to express ourselves（如何表达自己）：题目中提到，我们很少会特意去思考怎么说，除非是在一些特殊情况下。 - D. how to communicate with others（如何与他人沟通）：这与 C 选项类似，通常情况下我们不会特意去思考这一点。 综上所述，最符合题目描述的选项是 A。 答案：A what we want to say

解析

本题考查对文章细节信息的理解。解题的关键在于准确把握文中关于说话前人们通常思考内容的描述。

  • 文中明确指出“Whereas often we consciously consider what to say before speaking, we rarely think about how to say it, unless the situation is obviously loaded” ，这句话清晰地表明了在说话之前，人们通常会有意识地去考虑要说的内容。
  • 对各选项进行分析：
    • A选项 “what we want to say” ，与文中提到的人们通常会有意识考虑要说的内容相契合，所以该选项正确。
    • B选项 “what the situation is” ，文中虽提及特殊情况会影响说话方式，但并没有强调说话前通常会思考情况如何，所以该选项不符合文意。
    • C选项 “how to express ourselves” ，文中明确表示除非是特殊情况，否则很少会特意去思考怎么表达自己，所以该选项不符合通常情况。
    • D选项 “how to communicate with others” ，和C选项类似，通常情况下人们不会特意去思考如何与他人沟通，所以该选项也不符合文意。
