【答案与解析】

(1) study result/findings

(细节题。这篇演讲稿主要是介绍如何写实验报告。在第二段中，作者提到“All report is, ...like what you did, why you did it, what you found out in the process and so on”，从中可以得出实验报告的内容包括研究主题、研究目的以及研究结果。根据题干

中的信息，此处可以填入study result或study findings。)

(2) unknowledgeable audiences

(细节题。作者在第二段最后一句提到“...you’ll need to spell out the details and assume little knowledge of the area on the part of your audience”，题干中，“as”

后需填入一个与“readers”并列的名词，且为复数形式，所以答案为unknowledgeable audiences。)

(3) disciplined

(细节题。第一段第三句介绍实验报告的基本结构时，作者讲到“A highly structured and disciplined report is written in sections...”，可见实验报告的另一特点是“disciplined”。)

(4) what you did

(细节题。作者把实验报告分为引言、方法、结论、讨论四部分，本题主要涉及引言部分。

演讲者提到引言里出现的内容是你做过什么和为什么做，所以可以直接提取答案what you did。)

(5) METHOD

(细节题。原文提到“How you did it is in the method section and what you found out is in the results section”，所以这里提到的“how you did it”是在METHOD板块。)

(6) DISCUSSION

(细节题。在讲讨论部分时，作者提到“...what you think it shows appears in the discussion part”。由于此处与上文的“INTRODUCTION”“METHOD”“RESULTS”

并列，故答案为DISCUSSION。)
