这是2002年真题的第一篇阅读第四段：
If you feel awkward being humorous ,you must practice so that it becomes more natural. Include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff remarks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner. Often it’s the delivery which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowly and remember that a raised eyebrow or unbelieving look may help to show that you are making a light-hearted remark.
对应的问题在这里，看看能不能解出来~~
To achieve the desired result, humorous stories should be delivered_________.
A. in well-worded language B. as awkwardly as possible
C. in exaggerated statements D. as casually as possible

解不出来没关系，先忍着不要看解析~~~~

选项A：well-worded表示精心遣词造句之意，在本段中并没有提到与well-worded同义的词或表达方式，所以A选项是无中生有
选项B：表示尽可能笨拙之意。单凭常识我们可以推测，幽默的人并非一定要表现得尽可能别扭。另外，awkwardly与本段第一句的awkward非常近似，值得怀疑，越是近似原文的越有可能不是正确答案。
选项C：最后一段的第四句Search for exaggeration and understatements 中出现了exaggeration，看到这么像原文的选项，考生一定要小心。首先，exaggeration是在最后一段出现的，而本题考察的是第四段的内容，根据紧密联系原文原则，出现在另一段的内容不会是正确选项。另外，即便exaggeration是正确的，也只能是部分正确，因为exaggeration与understatements是用and 连接的并列成分，根据全面性原则，正确选项一定具有全面性的特征，所以只有部分正确的选项一定是错的。
选项D：在顺利排除了A、B、C之后毫无疑问D应该是正确的了。既然正确，就必然符合正确选项的一切特征，眼明手快的同学一定早就注意到了casually这个词与本段中的natural是同义替换吧！as casually as possible不就是becomes more natural吗？
