Answer 1

分析 本文作者主要针对人们如何克服演讲时的焦虑恐惧心理以做好演讲提出了一些建议．

解答 答案：
71．C   内容归纳题   根据上文讲到：在我们的生活中曾经需要做演讲时，我们中的大部分人都没能做好这件事；以及下文主要讲述了做演讲时的注意事项可知，此处应起到引起下文的作用，即表达了对如何做好讲演提出了一些建议；故选C
72．A   细节推理题    根据第二段讲到了我们以往演讲时会经常出现的紧张，恐惧以及应付的心理状况，以及上一句"Cheer up!（振作起来!）"表示的是鼓励的语气，故此处承接上文的内容，表达的意思应是：还不至于坏到那种程度；故选A
73．F    细节理解题    根据第三段中的"Don't talk over their heads，…They will appreciate your thoughtfulness．"（不要仰面而言或是埋头而读，尊重你的听众，他们会对你深表赞赏）可知，此处提到应是你对待观众的态度；故选F
74．D    细节推理题  由于第四段主要提到了在做演讲时应记住的几点事项，并且根据上一句"Be brief（要简明扼要）"可知，此处的意思应是：说你需要说的，然后停止；故选D
75．G     细节推理题     根据第五段讲到：按照上面的建议去做，不但会克服演讲时的恐惧心理，而且可能还会使你发现这种体验是如此地令人愉快并主动愿意去做更多的演讲；故此处表达的应是鼓励你按照作者的建议去试试；故选G
