D．public

网考网参考答案：D
网考网解析：
private是“私人的，私有的”与public(公共的，公有的)正对立，例如：He asked for some private conversation．(他要求密谈)；He was asked to make a public statement．(他被要求做出公开声明)。在该文中我们得知David是89年全美学生优秀发明奖获得者，根据常识来判断，人一有名抛头露面的机会就越多，更何况下文也提供了解题依据“He was forced to communicate more clearly”，以前，David不愿回答问题，不愿出头是因为他有口齿发音毛病，但出名之后，形势逼迫他在公开场合露面并且与人交谈。选择项A)与B)毫无意义；C)项与上下文意义相矛盾，故只有public为正确答案。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
