Directions:
This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to
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 _______.
