Question

18．Taking Questions
    When giving presentations，it is common practice to encourage audience involvement and this often takes the form of questions from the audience．A good deal has been written recently discussing the advantages and disadvanges of various approaches to handling these．（71）E
    One approach is to take questions as and when they arise．Usually there are only a few points from the audience but in the event of receiving too many，the presenter may move the presentation on by reminding the audience of the time，and offering to continue the discussion later．（72）BThose who aren't will simply have to wait．
    （73）C A danger here is that too much time may be wasted on questions and，as a consequence，important parts of other main points have to be edited out．The audience may also confuse the presenter by asking about points that he or she intends to cover later in the presentation．If this happens，it is important to make the audience aware that answering their questions now might weaken the structure of the talk．
    Alternatively，mid-point questions can be discouraged by signalling that you would prefer questions at the end．If you take this approach，however，it is important to bear in mind that when you get to the end，it may take a little time for people to reflect on what they have heard and to formulate a question．（74）F To overcome this，it is useful to have a chairperson who is prepared to ask the first question．
    （75）A In that case，the safest response is to tell the truth．Then the rest of the audience may appreciate your honesty．It may also be possible to move the attention away from the questioner by asking other audience if anyone else can provide an answer．

A．Another potential problem is unfriendly questioners who ask the kind of questions they know will be difficult to answer．
B．A statement such as"I will come back to this point at the end"should keep most people happy．
C．Another approach is to ask for questions after each main point has been addressed．
D．It is a good idea to be aware of the traps that this type of questioners try to set．
E．However，my intention here is simply to present the most common approaches．
F．There is even the possibility that an embarrassing silence may ensure．
G．Seeking a question can be an effective way of moving the session on．

Answer 1

分析 在給出陳述的時候，通常的做法是鼓勵觀眾參與，即鼓勵觀眾以問題的形式．但這種做法有缺點也有優(yōu)點．文章作者介紹了最通常的做法．

解答 71．E 72．B 73．C 74．F 75．A
71．E 細節(jié)題．根據(jù)前句A good deal has been written recently discussing the advantages and disadvanges of various approaches to handling these可知，近期寫了很多關(guān)于討論處理這種問題的方法的優(yōu)缺點，所以下句對應(yīng)也提到了approaches，故選E．
72．B 上下文語境．根據(jù)該段的第一句話One approach is to take questions as and when they arise可知，其中之一的方法是當問題出現(xiàn) 就認真對待并處理，所以選項B即使回到該問題的陳述最受大家歡迎，故選B．
73．C  概括題．通過上一段的 One approach is to take…是介紹一種方法，自然下段會提到另外一種方法，即C．
74．F 上下文語境．前句it is important to bear in mind that when you get to the end，it may take a little time for people to reflect on what they have heard and to formulate a question告訴我們要有心理準備，即到最后人們需要有時間去反思所聽到的，所以會有沉默期，故選F．
75．A 概括總結(jié)．通過最后一段的這句話In that case，the safest response is to tell the truth得知，如果出現(xiàn)這種情況，最保險的方法就是說真相，可見前面應(yīng)該是提到一種不好應(yīng)付的情況，而選項A正好是遇到的一個棘手的問題，即提問者提出了一個不好回答的問題，故選A．

點評 本文是一篇選句填空閱讀，題目主要考查上下文內(nèi)容聯(lián)系以及文章內(nèi)容理解．做題時學(xué)生應(yīng)仔細閱讀原文，把握文章主要內(nèi)容，聯(lián)系文章上下文內(nèi)容并結(jié)合所給選項含義，從中選出正確答案，一定要做到有理有據(jù)，切忌胡亂猜測．
