Learning how to write is like taking a course in public speaking. I’d ask whether anyone in class had ever taken such a course. Generally a few hands would go up.
"What did you learn in that course?" I’d ask.
"Well, the main thing was learning how to face an audience... not to be inhibited (拘谨)... not to be nervous..."
Exactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don’t hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to reach out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your longstanding nervous inhibitions.
The same is true of writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous emotion, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ll read what you wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and reach out to the person at the other end of the line.
Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you’re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary or at least it’s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously "talk on paper". [br] What does the author compare writing and public speaking?
选项
A、Writing needs more experience and imagination than public speaking.
B、Both writing and public speaking require great efforts.
C、Writing is just as imaginative as public speaking.
D、Writing is not as natural as public speaking.
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。本题考查对比处。结尾段对比了演讲和写作的不同之处,第1、2句和第3、4句形成了内在的对比关系,由此可推断写作比演讲更需要经验和努力.因此可确定A正确,而C不正确。虽然在这一段可找到effort和naturally等词,但原文并没有从是否要付出同样多的努力(B)或是否自然(D)等方面对比演讲与写作,因此B和D也不正确。
