　　【答案解析】

　　C。细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的：You must speak so that they can hear youloudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself. 可以看出C项为正确答案，而A、B、D三项均与这句话意义不符，可排除。

　　2.B细节理解题。从文中的where a large group of people will remain silent，可见B项为正确答案。 这里的silent与选项中的quiet同义，均意为安静。

　　3.D事实判断题。文章第一段告诉我们：在班上讲话不同于在家中谈话或闲聊，当有一大群人安静下来，等待你的讲话时，你会感到有点不自然，由此可见，D项为最佳选项。

　　4.C文章最后一句：You must take special care that you can be heard.你应特别注意你会被别人听到。很清楚地交代了答案应选C项。这里take special care意为特别注意，特别重视。

　　5.A纵观全文，不难得出这样一个结论：在不同的场合应采取不同的说话方式，A项正有此意，故选之。
