fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks

as you are instructed.

Task 1

Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or

unfinished statements, numbered 36 to 40. For each question or

statement, there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should

make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the

Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

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 presents 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 presener to make the idea clear even at the presentation 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. B) To avoid wasting too much time

C) To allow audience to take notes. D) To leave more time for questions

38. The speaker can help the audience remember the message longer by _______. 标准用时

实际用时 40 minutes

A) displaying text-based slides B ) avoiding long technical terms

C) focusing on the width of coverage 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
