  综合类C级:阅读判断Look After Your Voice

  Often speakers at a meeting experience dry mouths and ask for a glass of water. You can solve the problem by activating the saliva in your mouth. First gently bite the edges of your tongue with your teeth. Or, press your entire tongue to the bottom of your mouth and hold it there until the saliva flow. Or you can imagine that you are slicing a big juicy lemon and sucking the juice.

  Before you begin your talk, be kind to your voice, Avoid milk or creamy drinks which coat your throat. Keen your throat wet by drinking a little sweetened warm tea or diluted fruit juice.

  If you sense that you are losing your voice, stop talking completely. Save your voice for your speech. You may feel foolish using paper to write notes, but the best thing you can do is to rest your voice. If you need to see a doctor, perhaps you can get some advice from a professional singer. In the meantime, do not even talk in a low voice.

  What about drinking alcohol to wet your throat? I advise you not to touch alcohol before speaking. The problem with alcohol is that one drink gives you a little confidence. The second drink gives you even more confidence. Finally you will feel all-powerful and you will feel you can do everything, but in fact your brain and your mouth do not work together properly. Save the alcohol until after you finish speaking.

  Perhaps you want to accept the advice, but you may wonder if you can ever change the habits of a lifetime. Of course you can. Goethe, who lived before indoor skating rinks or swimming pools, said, "We learn to skate in the summer and swim in the winter". Take this message to heart and give yourself time to develop your new habits. If you are willing to change, you will soon be able to say that you will never forget these techniques because they became a part of your body.

  答案解析:

  1. B. 根据本文章的第一段第一句话“Often speakers at a meeting experience dry mouths and ask for a glass of water”,可以得知喝的是水(water),而不是奶(milk),所以答案选择B.

  2. A. 在一段中,我们可以看到三个标志性词语“first,or,or”(第一,或者,或者),这说明作者列举了三种方式。所以答案选择A.

  3. 对于第三题,我们可以通过自己的常识来判断。这道题的意思是“作者建议当你感觉完全失声的时候,再去看医生。”根据我们的常识,这种做法是错误的,所以答案选择B.

  4. 在第四段中,作者提到,“I advise you not to touch alcohol before speaking”,意思是说“我建议在演说之前不要喝酒。”而且“The problem with alcohol is that one drink gives you a little confidence. The second drink gives you even more confidence. Finally you will feel all-powerful and you will feel you can do everything, but in fact your brain and your mouth do not work together properly.”在这句话中,作者先是说出了一些现象,喝酒能够增强信心,但是在文中,作者用“but”否定了这种做法,综上所述答案选择B.

  5. 在第四段中,作者提到“but in fact your brain and your mouth do not work together properly.”,意思是“事实上,喝酒之后,你的大脑和嘴不能正常合作”,故答案选择A.

  6. 从最后一段的这句话中,“Goethe, who lived before indoor skating rinks or swimming pools”我们可以了解到,作者只说到Goethe进行室内滑雪和游泳,并没有提及室外活动,所以答案选择C.

  7. 从最后一段中,“Take this message to heart and give yourself time to develop your new habits. If you are willing to change, you will soon be able to say that you will never forget these techniques because they became a part of your body.”意思是“用心记住,给自己时间来发展新的爱好。如果你愿意改变,不久之后你会说,你永远不会忘记这些技术,因为它们变成了你身体的一部分。”从这句话中,我们可以判断出,作者引用Goethe的例子,是要说明人的爱好和习惯是可以改变的,所以答案选择A.
