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、The key to becoming a good speaker.
B、The increasing importance of public speaking.
C、The significance of cross-cultural communication.
D、The differences between American and Asian cultures.

答案 A

解析 此题为主旨题,通过文中多次提到的presenta-tion,speakers等关键词,以及文中给出的如何成为一个好的演讲人的建议,可以判断说话人关注的是如何成为一名好的演讲人,因此选A。B“公众演讲日益重要”在录音中并未提及;录音开头讲的是来自不同文化的人演讲风格不同,C“跨文化交际的重要性”和D“美国和亚洲的文化差异”都是利用这个信息拼凑出来的干扰项,均应排除。
