【解析】

在許多測(cè)試和考試中，通常不得不說(shuō)英語(yǔ)。許多學(xué)生認(rèn)為，口語(yǔ)唯一重要的是不要犯任何錯(cuò)誤，但這不是事實(shí)。這篇文章提供了一些有助于流利表達(dá)的方法。

【1】句意：您是被測(cè)試成功交流的能力，因此流利是交流中非常重要的一部分。

A. pronunciation發(fā)音；B. information信息；C. communication交流；D. tradition傳統(tǒng)。本句中說(shuō)被測(cè)試的是交流能力，因此這里是繼續(xù)敘述，交流中最重要的是流暢度，故選C。

【2】句意：犯錯(cuò)誤是正常的，所以不要驚慌。

A. strange奇怪的；B. fair公平的；C. comfortable舒服的；D. normal正常的。作者提示不要驚慌，因?yàn)榉稿e(cuò)很“正�！�，故選D。

【3】句意：但是，請(qǐng)盡量不要暫停太多或太長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。

A. for持續(xù)（一段時(shí)間）；B. of……的；C. in在……里面；D. on在……上面。介詞for+一段時(shí)間表示“持續(xù)一段時(shí)間”，for too long意為“持續(xù)太久”，故選A。

【4】句意：當(dāng)你回答問(wèn)題時(shí)，請(qǐng)盡量不要給出太多簡(jiǎn)短的答案。

A. long長(zhǎng)的；B. short短的；C. right正確的；D. wrong錯(cuò)誤的。后文講到案例“被問(wèn)到有無(wú)兄弟姐妹的時(shí)候，不要只說(shuō)有無(wú)，要進(jìn)一步描述一下兄弟姐妹”，所以這里的建議是答案不要太短，故選B。

【5】句意：例如，如果對(duì)方問(wèn)：“你有兄弟姐妹嗎？”不要只是說(shuō)“是”或“否”。 例如，可以說(shuō)：“是的，我有一個(gè)姐姐，她12歲，還有一個(gè)兄弟。他11歲�！�

A. ever曾經(jīng)；B. never從不；C. even甚至；D. just只是。這里是舉例描述，不要用太短的答案，不要“只是”說(shuō)有無(wú)，故選D。

【6】句意：總而言之，與他人交流時(shí)，流利地說(shuō)很重要。

A. reading讀；B. writing寫；C. speaking說(shuō)；D. listening聽(tīng)。通篇文章都在強(qiáng)調(diào)如何“流暢地交流”，因此流利地說(shuō)很重要，故選C。
