In giving a business presentation, many speakers think that if their idea is strong, their audience will get it readily. They feel discouraged when the audience is unable to understand their presentations. That happens a lot especially when technical experts are invited to make a product presentation to a group of users.
What can we do to make a business presentation easier to understand? In my view, good presentations have always been simple and visual. In an effective business presentation, the fewer the points, the better
the message gets passed on. You focus on the depth of coverage instead of the width(广度) of coverage. Additionally, you make your ideas visual and relevant, so the message is understood better and remembered longer. Great business presenters relate their ideas and concepts to their audience by using simple, powerful diagrams instead of relying on text-based slides. In fact, drawing diagrams forces a presenter to make the idea clear even at the preparation stage. It is impossible to draw a diagram when you are not clear about an idea. When your idea is clear, it is easier to transfer it. Most audiences understand a diagram faster and remember it longer. This possibly explains why most of the memorable presentations have been visual in nature.
36.Many speakers believe that the stronger their idea,.
A)the more powerful their speech will be
B)the more meaningful their speech will be
C)the more easily the audience will understand it
D)the harder the audience will find it to follow
37.Why are you advised to give fewer points in your
presentation?
A)To pass on the messages better. C) To allow audience to take notes.
B)To avoid wasting too much time. D) To leave more time for questions.
38.The speaker can help the audience remember the message longer by.
A) displaying text-based slides C) focusing on the width of coverage
B) avoiding long technical terms D) using simple and powerful diagrams
39.The underlined word “transfer” in this passage most probably means.
A) create B) pass on C) take off D) describe
40.This passage is mainly about.
A) how to make an effective business presentation
B) how to present strong ideas in a presentation
C) how to focus on the depth of coverage
D) how to prepare a powerful diagram
Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are
numbered 41 to 45.

If you are interested, you can visit our website andmake your application online. 16．【答案】a brief introduction / an introduction about。

题目询问说话人一开始要谈什么。

短文开头说话人就点明了I’ll first give you a brief introducti on，故空格可根据录音直接填人 a brief introduction或概括为an introduction。

17．【答案】food items。

题目询问公司的主要产品有哪些。

抓住空格前后的clothing和household products去听原文，在上下文就能听到答案food items。

18．【答案】Over 50 years。

题目询问该公司已开业多久。

题目的how long提示
答案应该是表示“多久”的一个数字。

原文提到的数字就只有一个more than 50 years，可见此处应填入50。

19．【答案】website。

题目询问在哪里可以找到有关“家庭财富”公司的职位空缺的信息。

题目的问题也是说话人自己提出的问题（You may wonder where to...)，他在提出了这个问题之后自问自答，马上提供了答案：The most obvious place is our website.表明在其“网站”就能找到相关信息，因此，空格处应填人website—词。

20．【答案】online / on the website / on its website。

题目询问申请工作职位的途径。

短文末尾提到make your application online,故空格可根据录音直接填入online —词，或者表达相近意思的on the website或on its website。

PartⅡ
Section A
21．【答案】C。

本题考查分词作状语的用法。

本题开头提到的investigation(调查）和主句当中提到的“委员会发表事故原因的报告”存在着时间的先后顺序，一般来说，要先调查，才能下结论发表报告，因此，状语的分词应为现在完成式，表示“调查”发生在前，可见本题答案为C项Having completed。

22．【答案】D。

本题考査suffer from...的词组搭配。

当suffer用作不及物动词的时候，一般只和介词from搭配，构成固定词组suffer from...，意为“遭受……”。

23．【答案】A。

本题考査引出让步状语从句的连词用法。

本题四个选项都可用于引出让步状语从句，其中A项however意为“无论怎么……”，表示程度，其后一般为形容词或副词。

本题空格后的challenging为形容词，因此A项however正确。

24．【答案】D。

本题考査倒装句的用法。

only放在句子开头会引起句子的主谓倒装，only引起的倒装句为半倒装句，即助动词与主语的倒装，符合这个规律的有B项has he left和C项he left,再根据题目中的时间状语从句的提示可以知道主句应为一般过去时，两点结合可确定本题答案为D项did he leave。

25．【答案】B。

本题考査与过去事实相反的虚拟语气句。

根据条件从句引导词If和从句时态had worked就可推断本句陈述的与“过去”事实相反，在这样的虚拟语气句的主句中，动词时态应为would have done,故本题应选 B 项 would have finished。

26．【答案】D。

本题考査非限制性定语从句的引导词。

空格前的逗号表明空格应为非限制性定语从句的引导词，而且该引导词代指的是主句整句的内容，在四个选项中，只有D项which能引导这样的非限制性定语从句。

27．【答案】C。

本题考查并列连词neither... nor的用法。

neither... nor总是一起出现，意为“既不…也不…”
28．【答案】B。

本题考查让步状语从句连词。

从句子前后“工资不高”和“有其他优势”的对比可推断句子开头需要的是表示转折的连词，能表示“虽然……但是……”意思的有B项While和C项As，但是as引导让步状语从句时，用倒装语序，所以正确答案为B。

29．【答案】B。

本题考查与impact搭配的介词。

当impact用作名词表示“影响”的时候，与其搭配的介词只能是on。

have an impact on...意为“对……产生影响”
30．【答案】A。

本题考査主语从句引导词。

本题需要的是主语从句的引导词，该引导词在从句当中还代指“让我印象深刻的‘事情’”，具有这种功能和语义的是A项What。

Section B
31．【答案】cooperation。

本题考査动词和名词的转化。

空格前的our long-term是定语成分，表明空格应为名词。

cooperate是动词，可通过在其后加上后缀-tion，变成适合本题要求的脅词
cooperation。

32．【答案】valuable。

本题考査名词和形容词的转化。

空格前的some和空格后的名词resources表明空格应填写形容词。

value可用作动词或名词，其对应的形容词形式是valuable。

33．【笞案】more efficient。

本题考査形容词比较级的使用。

根据空格后的比较级标记词than可以知道空格处应该填写形容词efficient 的比较级形式more efficient。

34．【答案】be sent。

本题考査动词的被动形式。

句子的主语是“报价和样品”,谓语是“发送”，主语和谓语之间应构成被动关系，因为“报价和样品”并没有行为能力。

句子为一般将来时，只要将给出的单词send变为其被动语态 be sent 即可。

35．【答案】receiving。

本题考査介词宾语的形式。

句子开头的After是表示时间先后顺序的介词，其后应使用名词或动词的- ing形式，因此只要将提供的动词receive改写为receiving即为本题答案。

Part Ⅲ
Task 1
36．【答案】C。

事实细节题。

题干要求査找many speakers的想法，题干与全文首句中many speakers think that if their idea is strong基本同义，只要将选项与原文中的their audience will get it readily对比，找出意思ft近的就是正确选项。

C 项easily与原文的关键词readily基本同义，C项与原文意思最为接近，为本题正确答案。

37．【答案】A。

事实细节题。
