选项
A、remarked
B、said
C、addressed
D、talked
答案
C
解析
addressed"向…做(正式)讲话,对…发表演说"。根据文章一致性的原则,该词与上文的 "speaker"形成一种照应。而选项remarked"说,评论说",选项said"说,讲"和选项talked"讲话;谈话,交谈",均不符合题意。这四个词的主要区别为address指在正式、隆重的场合(如就职、颁奖、毕业典礼上)发表的"演说",强调演说的重要性或突出演讲者;remark意为"评说、评论",含有经过观察后陈述事实的意味,say意为"说出、说道",着重所说的话,talk指非正式的"讲话、演讲",用于较随便的场合。
