问题    So much emphasis is placed nowadays on oral skills in all area of work, study and lecture, that the training course has proved very popular and last year I run a week’s presentation skills course at the annual International Summer School.
   After a shorter introductory meeting on the Saturday night when Bridget Stevens, Summer School Director greeted all the new students attending a wide variety of courses. And the courses began in earnest with a two-hour session the following morning.  Then followed full  days, 9:30 a. m.～3:30 p. m. , with the examination taking place on the fifth day (Friday).
   In order to give the students a change from my voice in this very concentrated week, Irene Randine, a very experienced lecturer, was invited to give two sessions, first on "Voice" and later on "Reading Aloud", both of which were a success.
   The group was from a variety of countries.  We have required that only fluent English speakers would be accepted and all were competent communicators.
   To my mind the first session is always the most important, for it is at that point we take stock of each other, students and lecturer.  During the next four days the pressure is intense as we cover the various situations in which speakers might find themselves.
   Of course, time has to be given to discuss examination and by Thursday I expect to see a presentation from each of the students.
选项 A、Because International Summer School is popular.
B、Because the training program has proved popular.
C、Because so much emphasis is placed on the popular area of work, study and lecture.
D、Because people pay more attention to oral skills in all area of work, study and lecture.
答案 D
解析 本题为细节题，信息点定位在第一段。文中的“so much…that…”表明前后句为因果关系，因此在前半句，即各个行业的工作，学习和演讲都特别强调口语技巧，选项D与其最相符。
