Focus on positives

You are a special person not a clone.

题目解答
答案
(2)B.推理判断题。根据后一句so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do.所以好的演讲训练应该培养这些技能,而不是告诉你什么不该做。与空格形成因果关系,所以空格中应表达"你已经做得很好了"的含义,B项:You already do lots of things well你已经做了很多事情了。符合文意,故选B。
(3)C.标题判断题。本段第一句中提到lots of dos and don'ts,walk away!一大堆该做的和不该做的,走开!可知如果有的培训将太多的条条框框的话,要对条条框框说不,C项:Turn your back on too many rules拒绝太多的规矩。符合文意,故选C。
(4)G.联系上文题。从前句Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about,你的脑子里满是你要讲的内容。可知后一空与前一空形成因果关系,脑子里装满了条条框框只会使情况变得更糟。G项:So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse.因此试图将一整套规则强行纳入其中只会使事情变得更糟。符合文意,故选G。
(5)A.推理判断题。小标题为You are a special person not a clone(你是一个特别的人而不是一个克隆人)以及treat you as a special one,with your own personal habits(把你当作一个特殊的人,用你自己的习惯)可以得出答案You aren't like anybody else(你是与众不同)。故选A。
解析
本题为语篇填空题,主要考查语境理解能力和逻辑推理能力。解题核心在于分析上下文逻辑关系,包括因果、转折、主题句等。需注意段落小标题与内容的关联,以及空格前后句的衔接词、关键词,从而判断最合适的选项。
第(1)题
关键点:段落小标题为“Get a coach(找教练)”,后文提到“so get help(所以寻求帮助)”。空格需引出下文选择培训的原因。
选项E“Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough(无论什么演讲,公开演讲都很难)”作为主题句,引出下文“因为有大量培训机构存在”,符合语境。
第(2)题
关键点:后文“so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do(好的训练应培养你的优点)”表明空格需说明“你已具备的优点”。
选项B“You already do lots of things well(你已经做得很好了)”与后文形成因果关系,强调“发展已有优势”。
第(3)题
关键点:段落内容反对“过多的条条框框”(lots of dos and don’ts),建议远离此类课程。
选项C“Turn your back on too many rules(拒绝太多规则)”作为主题句,直接对应段落核心观点。
第(4)题
关键点:前文“Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about(你的大脑已满是演讲内容)”说明强行加入规则会干扰思考。
选项G“So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse(强加规则会更糟)”与前文形成因果关系,解释结果。
第(5)题
关键点:段落小标题强调“你很特别,不是克隆人”,后文“treat you as a special one(把你当作独特个体)”需呼应此主题。
选项A“You aren't like anybody else(你与众不同)”直接点明个性化的核心,与上下文高度一致。
