问题     The listener has a given amount of energy to expend in completing the communication process. Any distraction that demands part of that energy will diminish the probability that communication will take place. One of the easiest distractions to eliminate is the too soft voice. You will find it necessary to adjust your voice level to accommodate the size of the room, the number of people in the audience, the furnishings, and the ambient noise level.
    The desired level is one that seems slightly greater than that normally heard in conversation. If the room is large and filled with people, you will have to put an appropriate amount of power in your voice to be easily heard. In some cases, you may require electronic amplification, which will usually enable you to speak in an ordinary conversational tone.
    Furnishings such as heavy carpets and drapes absorb a good deal of sound, thereby creating a deadening effect on the speaker’s voice. You should be able to judge the effects of the furnishings after speaking the first few sentences. You can then modify your voice level as necessary to account for any sound-absorbing material.
    The ambient noise in the room may be made up of motor sounds from and overhead projector, air-conditioning, outside traffic, etc. You may find it necessary to vary your voice level at times to adjust for changes in the ambient noise level. ,
    Finally, you should be aware of cues from members of the audience who may communicate by body language an inability to hear what you are saying.
Which of the following statements is not true?
选项 A、A speaker’s voice level should be tailored to convenience of hearing for the audience.
B、Adjustment of the speaker’s voice level for the effects of heavy carpets usually happens before the speech.
C、A voice level a little greater than the normal one in conversation is suitable in a speech.
D、A speaker may adjust his voice level several times according to changes in the ambient noise level.
答案B
解析 细节理解题。本文主要就是说演讲者要根据各种条件适当调整自己的音量以让听众能更好地听而不分心，所以A是对的。从第二段的第一句“The desired level…in conversation”可以知道C也是正确的。从第四段的最后一句“You may find…the ambient noise level”看出D正确。根据第四段“You should be able to judge the effects of the furnishings after speaking the first few sentences”知道随着设备的影响所作的调整是发生在演讲刚开始的时候而不是演讲之前。
