that doesnt mean you will not do well.”但是這并不是說你就會學不好可知，空處與下文形成轉(zhuǎn)折，故空處應表示大學的學業(yè)要比高中更難。5選B本段講如果你不知道怎樣做一些簡單的事情，比如你不懂烹飪，你應如何做。B項中的“dont know”與下文“Dont know”相呼應。B(2018杭州模擬)mon public speaking problemsThe use of “I feel”， “I think” and “maybe”In the questionandanswer session of the speaking petition, many contestants began their answers with uncertain expressions like “I feel”， “I guess”， “I hear”， “maybe” and “perhaps”These words show that the person is only speaking from his or her point of view._1_.Work on keeping your answers brief and to the point.Also work on delivering them with calmness and confidence.Instead of the emptysounding “I guess”， using facts, together with a clear conclusion based on those facts, is far more likely to be popular with an audience._2_Dont stick to the same tone.It can be boring.Try to mix it up.For example, when they spoke about their dreams, some sounded romantic.Others used humor.Very few used several different styles together._3_， rather than just sticking with the same one.Irresponsible answers_4_.Youre responsible for your words.Even though you want to answer quickly, you dont want to sound foolish.So you should think twice before you talk.Dont be like the student who, when asked about his opinion on book piracy (盜版), started by saying he supported it.Talking around the topic rather than directly answering itYou should focus on one point and give a clear solution._5_.Is it asking you to discuss a certain topic or to present your own point of view?Use one or two arguments together and give a strong conclusion.Remember that judges are not judging you on whether they agree, but on your ability to say what you think clearly.ATry mixing more than one styleBImproving your munication skillCUsing only one speaking styleDIts

facts and seems not to be reliable語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文，介紹了在演講中常常出現(xiàn)的一些問題。1選G根據(jù)上一句可知，用“我覺得，我認為，我聽說，大概等”這樣的詞匯，而不是事實和數(shù)據(jù)來支撐，就沒有說服力。2選C根據(jù)下文的幾個小標題可知，本文主要說明演講者常常會出現(xiàn)的問題。根據(jù)“Dont stick to the same tone.”可知答案應選C，C項中“only one speaking style”與“the same

clear solution”，而“question is being asked”又與下文問句相呼應。C(2018杭州二模)Why I Got Rid of My Cell PhoneIn 2017 I decided to take a break from my cell phone.Instead of shutting it off pletely, I decided to turn
