73.________

If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about. 74.________. As far as we're concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.

You are a special person not a clone

Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits.       75.________. Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.

  A. You aren't like anybody else

  B. You already do lots of things well

  C. Turn your back on too many rules

  D. Check the rules about dos and don'ts

  E．Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough

  F．The one thing you don't want is for them to fall asleep

试题答案

71．E　考查上下文的语境理解。结合后面的so get help“得到帮助”，与E项中的tough“艰难的”呼应，指无论什么报告，公共演讲是比较难的，因此需要帮助。

72．B　考查上下文的语境理解。空格前面的doing well与B项中的do…well意义相同，都是指做得好，故选B。

73．C　考查上下文的语境理解。本段的“If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts，walk away！如果你发现一个公共演讲课程是想告诉你大量的该做什么，不该做什么的内容的话，就走开！”说明不要理睬这些所谓的规则，故选C。

74．G　考查上下文的语境理解。结合前面的“Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about.”可知你的头脑中已经装满了这些内容，所以再听一些规则会更糟糕的，故选G。

75．A　考查上下文的语境理解。根据本段的小标题中的special可知你是一个特殊的人，因此与A中的“You aren't like anybody else”意义相同。
