第二节（每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Directions：After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper from of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank
In order to present the best presentation and eliminate room for error, you need to keep in mind certain guidelines Here are some of my ideas for presenting quality presentations that demand genuine attention1．your listeners
Picking out a topic is the hard part It has to be interesting, impactful and unique, 2． it is crucial to choose something you care about rather than randomly select one Ask yourself if it covers angers—is it informative? Will it keep my listeners hooked? Will it create an air of boredom? Will I be able to get all my facts and research done? Is it appealing to me, but not to them?
There is nothing more annoying than having someone blabber on about a topic he/she 3．(not do) extensive research on It is obvious from the way they speak, how monotonous their tones sound and how robotic their movement and gestures are So don’t be that someone Take the effort 4．(learn) as much as you can Make it matter to you, and remember 5．it can impact your listeners, and enlighten(启发) them on things they didn’t know about at all
No one is perfect, and there are bound to be mistakes or circumstances 6．you didn’t count on and couldn’t avoid You 7．stutter(结巴) with a word, mix up slides, or forget some important sheets of your presentation and so on Straighten up Crack a minor joke in your defense In other words, improvise(即兴表演) and don’t beat yourself up about it or else your presentation will end in disaster Don’t let it ruin the rest of it, and finish the presentation as planned, so that people think more of how well it ended
The 8．(good) thing about presenting a topic is eye contact 9．you are able to say it by heart, and not by looking at a piece of paper you will have mastered the most effective presentation technique Memorize your lines, and points, and only glance at your notes occasionally if you think you may forget something In end if, you think that you are well prepared to answer questions, then by all means invite 10．
