Juan Louis, a junior geology major, decided to give an informative speech about how earthquakes occur. From his audience and analysis he learned that only 2 or 3 of his classmates knew much of anything about geology. Juan realized then that he must present his speech at an elementary level and with a minimum of scientific language. As he prepared the speech, Juan kept asking himself, ’’How can I make this clear and meaningful to someone who knows nothing about earthquakes or geological principles?’’ Since he was speaking in the Midwest, he decided to begin by noting that the most severe earthquake in American history took place not in California or Alaska but at New Madrid, Missouri in 1811. If such an earthquake happened today, it would be felt from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean and would flatten most of the cities in the Mississippi valley. That, he figured, should get his classmates’attention. Throughout the body of the speech, Juan dealt only with the basic mechanics of the earthquakes, carefully avoid technical terms. He also prepared visual aids, diagramming photo line, so his classmates wouldn’t get confused. To be absolutely safe, Juan asked his roommate, who was not a geology major, to listen to the speech. ’’Stop me,’’ he said, ’’any time I say something you don’t understand. ’’ Juan’s roommate stopped him four times. And at each spot, Juan worked out a way to make his point more clearly. Finally, he had a speech that was interesting and perfectly understandable to his audience.
Questions 13 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
13. What did Juan Louis learn from the analysis of his audience?
14. How did Juan Louis start his speech?
15. What did Juan ask his roommate to do when he was making his trial speech?
选项
A、By reflecting on Americans’ previous failures in predicting earthquakes.
B、By noting where the most severe earthquake in U. S. history occurred.
C、By describing the destructive power of earthquakes.
D、By explaining some essential geological principles.
答案
B
解析
选项是关于某种方式的。听力篇章接下来讲到这个演讲的开头,路易斯要用美国历史上发生过的最大的地震为例,引入自己的话题,这样会吸引大家的注意力。由此可判断,B为正确选项。
