问题     If you were to tape-record one of David Letterman’s comedy routines, memorize it word for word, and stand up before your friends to recite it, would you get the same【C1】______Letterman does? Not very likely. And why not? Because you would not【C2】______the jokes as Letterman does. Of course, the jokes are basically funny. But David Letterman brings something extra to the jokes—his manner of presentation, his vocal inflections, his【C3】______timed pauses, his facial expressions, his gestures. All these are part of a(n) 【C4】______delivery.
    No one expects your speech class to transform you into a multimillion-dollar talk show host. Still, this example demonstrates how important delivery can be to any public speaking situation. Even a mediocre speech will be more effective if it is presented well,【C5】______a wonderfully written speech can be ruined by【C6】______delivery.
    This does not mean dazzling delivery will turn a mindless string of nonsense into a triumphant oration. You cannot make a good speech【C7】______having something to say. But having something to say is not enough. You must also know how to say it.
    Speech delivery is an art, not a science. What works for one speaker may【C8】______for another. And what succeeds with today’s audience may not with tomorrow’s. You cannot become a skilled speaker just by following a set of rules in a textbook. In the【C9】______run, there is no【C10】______for experience. But take heart!
A)deliver B)expert C)fail D)long
E)perfectly F)poor G)recite H)response
I)short J)substitute K)therefore L)whereas
M)with N)without O)use
【C8】
选项
答案C
解析 空格前what引导名词性从句，因此，空格需填入动词。根据语义“对于一位演讲者适用的东西用到另一位演讲者身上可能就会失败”，故应选择C)fail。
