问题     The listener has a given amount of energy to expend in completing the communication process. Any distraction that demands part of that energy will diminish the probability that communication will take place. One of the easiest distractions to eliminate is the too soft voice. You will find it necessary to adjust your voice level to accommodate the size of the room, the number of people in the audience, the furnishings, and the ambient noise level.
    The desired level is one that seems slightly greater than that normally heard in conversation. If the room is large and filled with people, you will have to put an appropriate amount of power in your voice to be easily heard. In some cases, you may require electronic amplification, which will usually enable you to speak in an ordinary conversational tone.
    Furnishings such as heavy carpets and drapes absorb a good deal of sound, thereby creating a deadening effect on the speaker’s voice. You should be able to judge the effects of the furnishings after speaking the first few sentences. You can then modify your voice level as necessary to account for any sound-absorbing material.
    The ambient noise in the room may be made up of motor sounds from and overhead projector, air-conditioning, outside traffic, etc. You may find it necessary to vary your voice level at times to adjust for changes in the ambient noise level. ,
    Finally, you should be aware of cues from members of the audience who may communicate by body language an inability to hear what you are saying.
This passage is mainly concerned with_____.
选项 A、the communication between a speaker and the audience
B、the use of body language in addressing an audience
C、various distractions of a speaker from the speech
D、the appropriate use of voice level in public speech
答案D
解析 大意判断题。选项D的意思为：“演说时音量的正确使用”。本文的主旨陈述在第一段第四句：”你会发现有必要调整自己的音量，以便适宜于(accommodate)会议室的大小、听众的数量、室内装饰以及周围的噪音量(或：你会发现有必要根据会议室的大小、听众的数量、室内装饰以及周围的噪音量适当调整音量)。”文章第二、三、四段分别从这几方面更详细地说明了根据演讲时的情景调整音量的必要性。最后一段还指出：应该根据听众的反应来及时调整音量。A太抽象、太宽泛，因此不对；B意为：“体势语在演讲时的使用”：C意为：“演讲者在演讲过程中所面临的各种干扰”。本文说明的重点是演讲者如何排除干扰、合理调整自己的音量，以便让听众听清自己的演讲。
