For eachquestion or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C andD. You should make the correct choice and mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single linethrough 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 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 theiridea, .A) the more powerful their speech will beB) the more meaningful their speech will beC) the more easily the audience will understand itD) the harder the audience will find it to follow37. Why are you advised to give fewer points in yourpresentation? .A) To pass on the messages better. C) To allow audience totake notes.B) To avoid wasting too much time. D) To leave more timefor questions.38. The speaker can help the audience remember the message longerby .A) displaying text-based slides C) focusing on the width ofcoverageB) avoiding long technical terms D) using simple and powerfuldiagrams39. The underlined word “transfer” in this passage most probably means“”.A) create B) pass on C) take off D)describe40.

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 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. Itis 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 beB)the more meaningful their speech will beC)the more easily the audience will understand itD)the harder the audience will find it to follow37.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 coverageB) avoiding long technical terms D) using simple and powerful diagrams39.The underlined word “transfer” in this passage most probably means .A) create B) pass on C) take off D) describe40.This passage is mainly about .A) how to make an effective business presentationB) how to present strong ideas in a presentationC) how to focus on the depth of coverageD) how to prepare a powerful diagramTask 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1.
