38.A [考 查 对 上 下 文 的 理 解 和 推 理 判 断 能 力。根 据 空 后“A
speakerneedstochoosetheirwordscarefulyandmakeitclearto
theaudiencewhattheymean.”可知,一个演讲者需要仔细选择他
们讲的话,让观众明白他们的意思。所以此空要起到承接下文的

39.G [考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“Often,
whengivenaspeech,theaudiencelookuptothespeakertogive
themsomethingnewanduseful.”可知,通常,当演讲时,听众会抬

expectation.“因此,演讲者需要知道如何发表他们的演讲来满足

points,justtoremindtheaudienceoftheimportantthingsthat
havebeensaid”可知,在结束演讲或陈述时,演讲者可以重述他们
的要点,只是为了提醒听众已经说过的重要事情。所以小题20

E.Theycanalsoenditwithaspecialmessageandencouragethe
audiencetoaskquestions.“他们也可以用特别的信息来结束演
讲,并鼓励听众提问”符合句意。故选E。]
