The speech delivery style of Europeans and Asians tends to be very formal. Speakers of these cultures often read oral presentations from carefully written manuscripts. On the other hand, American speakers are generally more informal relative to speakers in other cultures. American audiences prefer natural, spontaneous delivery that conveys a lively sense of communication. They don’t relate well to speakers who read from a manuscript. If you use an outline of your ideas instead of a prepared text, your speech will not only sound more natural, but you will also be able to establish better relationship with your listeners and keep their attention. The language and style you use when making an oral presentation should not be the same as the language in style you use when writing. Well-written information, that is meant to be read, does not work as well when it is heard. It is, therefore, important for you to adapt written texts or outlines for presentations. Good speakers are much more informal when speaking than when writing. They also use their own words and develop their own speaking styles. Whenever possible, they use short words. Listeners are appreciated when speakers use simple, everyday words in a presentation. One advantage is that it is much easier for speakers to pronounce short words correctly. Another is that long and sophisticated vocabulary choices make listening more difficult.
20. What does the speaker say American audiences prefer?
21. What should one pay attention to when making an oral presentation?
22. What does the speaker focus on in the talk?

选项 A、A short presentation clearly delivered.
B、A package of ideas formally presented.
C、A clever use of visual aids in presentation.
D、A natural and spontaneous style of speech.

答案D

解析 四个选项都是名词短语的形式,都是讲演讲的呈现形式,可大概推测问题可能与演讲有关。录音提到,美国听众喜欢自然而发的、能够传递一种生动交流感的演讲,因此选D。A的shortpresentation“简短的演讲”是利用录音中they useshort words“他们使用简短的词汇”制造干扰;B的A package of ideas“一系列观点”是利用录音中的an outline of your ideas“你观点列成的提纲”制造干扰;C的clever use of visual aids"聪明地运用视觉辅助“在录音中并未提及。D的关键词naturaland spontaneous为录音的原词,此题符合“短文听力听到什么选什么”的答题原则。
