Learning a Foreign Language
There are many things to language learning, such as how to say words, which words to choose and what forms of words to use. All of these together can make learning a foreign language difficult. But some advice might make learning a new language easier and more fun.
◆Don’t worry too much about pronouncing words the wrong way.
Pronunciation is important, of course. It helps listeners to understand what someone says more clearly. But the 1 thing in learning a new language is to practise speaking it. As for learning any new skill, 2 makes perfect. And most of the time, the native(本地) speaker is glad to help improve the pronunciation of the words.
◆Don’t be afraid to guess the meaning of what someone says.
There are tens of thousands of words in English. It isn’t possible to know all of them. You may use context(上下文) and body language to guess what others say. For example, when a person says “Hola” and waves his hand, one might guess that the person is giving a greeting. Whether it means “Hello” or “Good morning”, it is not necessarily important at that moment to know the exact meaning.
◆Don’t give up(放弃).
Learning a new language or skill always 3 time. Many will give up learning because it is too hard or boring. Some may think that other people will make fun of them for making mistakes. But it’s OK to make mistakes. 4 is perfect, after all. Don’t lose hope and keep trying.
In the end, learning a new language can be difficult, but remember that it can give great 5 . Learning a language doesn’t just mean the ability to speak in that different language. Don’t forget that learning a language can also include making new friends, experiencing new cultures and tasting new foods!

Walking is a popular form of exercise. It is an easy activity and offers a good way to improve physical fitness. Walking also gives many of the same benefits as other kinds of exercise.
Regular, brisk walks help a person's body work better. Walking builds a stronger heart and lungs. Walking also seems to help protect the heart from heart disease. The lungs work better because they take in and use oxygen more effectively. Walking can help in weight control, too. A quick fifteen-minute walk burns as many calories as jogging the same distance in half the time. Walking causes very injuries, so there is also a lower "dropout" rate among walkers than among runners.
People are more likely to continue a walking program. This gives a better chance for success. Walking offers some mental benefits, too. It seems to make people feel better. Many walkers say they sleep better at night when they take regular walks. Others say they have a better attitude towards life. Walking offers many of the same physical and mental benefits as other forms of exercise, but walking offers some special advantages, too. Almost everyone can walk. There are no special lessons or training. To become a real walker, a person only needs to walk faster, farther, and more often.
People can walk almost anywhere. There are no special playing fields or courts for walking. Sidewalks, streets, parks, fields, and malls are excellent places for walking. People can walk almost anytime. A person doesn't need a team or a partner for walking. There is no "season" for walking. Most walkers walk in all kinds of weather.
Walking doesn't cost anything. There are no special fees for walking. Good walking shoes and comfortable clothes are the only equipment that a walker needs.
Walking offers a form of exercise within the reach of nearly everyone. With a little time and effort, people can rediscover a valuable form of exercise and improve their fitness.

When I was six years old, Grandpa sent me into the woods to gather pecans (山核桃). Pecan picking was quite difficult for me and my little basket was only half full. Just then, something caught my eyes. A large squirrel (松鼠) was a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and disappeared in a large hole in the tree. A moment later, he jumped out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.
I ran to the tree and looked into the hole. It was filled with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. I scooped (抱起) all of them into my basket. Now it was full! I was so proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all the pecans. He looked into the basket and said, “Well, how did you find so many?” I told him the truth.
Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing (观察) the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders.
“That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter supply of food,” he said, “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will survive the cold winter?”
“I didn’t think about that.” I said.

There are many things to language learning, such as how to say words, which words to choose and what forms of words to use. All of these together can make learning a foreign language difficult. But some advice might make learning a new language easier and more fun.
◆Don’t worry too much about pronouncing words the wrong way.
Pronunciation is important, of course. It helps listeners to understand what someone says more clearly. But the 1 thing in learning a new language is to practise speaking it. As for learning any new skill, 2 makes perfect. And most of the time, the native(本地) speaker is glad to help improve the pronunciation of the words.
◆Don’t be afraid to guess the meaning of what someone says.
There are tens of thousands of words in English. It isn’t possible to know all of them. You may use context(上下文) and body language to guess what others say. For example, when a person says “Hola” and waves his hand, one might guess that the person is giving a greeting. Whether it means “Hello” or “Good morning”, it is not necessarily important at that moment to know the exact meaning.
◆Don’t give up(放弃).
Learning a new language or skill always 3 time. Many will give up learning because it is too hard or boring. Some may think that other people will make fun of them for making mistakes. But it’s OK to make mistakes. 4 is perfect, after all. Don’t lose hope and keep trying.
In the end, learning a new language can be difficult, but remember that it can give great 5 . Learning a language doesn’t just mean the ability to speak in that different language. Don’t forget that learning a language can also include making new friends, experiencing new cultures and tasting new foods!
【答案】 1.most important 2.practice 3.takes 4.Nobody 5.advantages
【详解】本文介绍了学习外语的几个建议。
1.句意:但学习一门新语言最重要的是练习说它。根据上文“Pronunciation is important”及“the...thing”和备选词可知,此处指最重要的,用形容词important最高级形式most important。故填most important。
2.句意:至于学习任何新技能,熟能生巧。根据上文“practise speaking it”及此处“makes perfect”可知,考查practice makes perfect,意为“熟能生巧”。故填practice。
3.句意:学习一门新语言或新技能总是需要时间。根据“time”可知,此空考查take time“花时间”;动名词短语作主语,谓语动词用单数,take的第三人称单数形式为takes,故填takes。
4.句意:毕竟,没有人是完美的。根据“But it’s OK to make mistakes.”及“after all”并结合备选词可知,犯错是没事的,没人是完美的,所以填nobody,句子开头首字母大写,故填Nobody。
5.句意:最后,学习一门新语言可能很困难,但请记住,它可以带来很大的优势。根据下文“Learning a language ... include making new friends, experiencing new cultures and tasting new foods!”可知,会带来很多优势,故填advantages。

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
When I was six years old, Grandpa sent me into the woods to gather pecans (山核桃). Pecan picking was quite difficult for me and my little basket was only half full. Just then, something caught my eyes. A large squirrel (松鼠) was a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and disappeared in a large hole in the tree. A moment later, he jumped out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.
I ran to the tree and looked into the hole. It was filled with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. I scooped (抱起) all of them into my basket. Now it was full! I was so proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all the pecans. He looked into the basket and said, “Well, how did you find so many?” I told him the truth.
Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing (观察) the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders.
“That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter supply of food,” he said, “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will survive the cold winter?”
“I didn’t think about that.” I said.

【详解】本文是珍妮和李明之间的对话,珍妮帮助李明思考英语报告内容。
1.根据“I need your…with my English project this week.”可知,此处指李明需要珍妮的帮助;help“帮助”,不可数名词。故填help。
2.根据“We are supposed to describe…”可知,珍妮让李明告诉自己更多信息;more“更多”。故填more。
3.根据下文“What should I write about myself?”可知,这篇报告要求描述自己;结合“We are supposed to describe…”可知,主语是we,故用反身代词ourselves。故填ourselves。
4.上文“我不能帮你写报告”和“我可以帮你想”之间是转折关系,用but“但是”连接。故填but。
5.What do you like about sth.“你喜欢某个事物的哪方面”,此处指珍妮询问李明喜欢自己的哪个方面。故填What。
6.根据“I’m a good student, and I think I’m a good person. I…have many friends.”可知,此处是李明列举自己的优点,他也有很多好朋友;also“也”。故填also。
7.根据“You can also write about your special…and personal strengths.”可知,此处指特殊才能和个人长处;talent“才能”,名词,由“personal strengths”可知,此处用其复数形式。故填talents。
8.根据“What…you unique(与众不同)?”可知,此处是珍妮询问李明是什么让他与众不同;make“使”,动词,时态是一般现在时,疑问代词what后,谓语动词用其单三形式。故填makes。
9.根据“What are you good at? What are you…of?”可知,此处指李明以什么为骄傲;be proud of“为……而骄傲”。故填proud。
10.根据“Thank you so much for your help.”可知,此处是珍妮回答李明的感谢;It’s my pleasure“不客气”。故填pleasure。
