【解析】

本篇文章難度適中，主要講述如何做一個優(yōu)秀的演講者并給出一些建議。

【1】翻譯題。be afraid of害怕……；make a speech做演講；in public在公共場合。故填“通常人們往往害怕公開演講”。

【2】翻譯題。in fact事實上；so...that...如此……以至于……；volunteer to do主動做……，故填“實際上，你可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)這樣的經(jīng)歷是如此美妙，甚至會主動的進行更多的演講”。

【3】代詞指代題。根據(jù)Usually people are often afraid of making a speech in public. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, your talk took long, and you get your audience bored. Later you think,“Thank Goodness!(B) It’s over可知，一些人害怕演講，你會緊張、你會忘記你要說的、你的演講太長、你讓觀眾感到厭倦，隨后你會感謝，終于結(jié)束了，所以指的是“演講結(jié)束了”，故填The speech。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Just remember! Be prepared. Know your subject and your audience. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And trust yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to -person contact with your audience可知，要提前準備、要簡練、要相信自己，故填Be prepared,be brief and trust yourself。

【5】主旨大意題。本篇文章主要講述如何做一個優(yōu)秀的演講者并給出一些建議。故填Some suggestions on how to make an excellent speech。
