Question

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問(wèn)題或完成句子。

There are about fifteen hundred languages in the world. But only a few of them are very important. English is one of them. Many, many people use it, not only in England and the USA, but also in other parts of the world.

About 200,000,000 people speak it as their own language. It is difficult to say how many people are learning it as a foreign language. Many millions of people are trying to do so. Is it easy or difficult to learn English? Different people may have different answers. Have you ever noticed ads(廣告) of this kind in the newspapers or magazines? “Learn English in six weeks, or give your money back…” “Easy and funny…” “Our records and tapes help you master English in a month”. Of course, it never happens quite like that.

The only language that seems easy to learn is the mother tongue. We should remember that we all learned our own language well when we were children. If we could learn English in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think of what a small child does. He listens to what people say. He tries what he hears.

So it is hard to say that learning English is easy. We must do a lot of practice. And practice needs great efforts and takes much time. Good teachers, record, tapes, books, and dictionaries will be helpful, but they cannot do the student’s work for him.

【解析】

英語(yǔ)作為世界上最重要的語(yǔ)言之一，很多人想要學(xué)好但并不容易。學(xué)好英語(yǔ)就要像學(xué)母語(yǔ)一樣需要大量的練習(xí)，要付出很多的努力和很多的時(shí)間。

【1】根據(jù)第一段“But only a few of them are very important.”，可知“但其中只有少數(shù)是非常重要的。”；故答案為Only a few.

【2】根據(jù)第一段“not only in England and the USA, but also in other parts of the world. ” 可知英國(guó)、美國(guó)都是以英語(yǔ)為母語(yǔ)的國(guó)家；故答案為England and America.

【3】根據(jù)第二段“it never happens quite like that.”，可知“學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)不像廣告所說(shuō)的那么簡(jiǎn)單”，故答案為It never happens quite like what the ads say.

【4】根據(jù)第三段“The only language that seems easy to learn is the mother tongue.”，可知“母語(yǔ)好像是最容易學(xué)的”；故答案為The mother language/tongue.

【5】根據(jù)第四段“So it is hard to say that learning English is easy. We must do a lot of practice.”，可知“學(xué)英語(yǔ)需要大量的練習(xí)”；故答案為a lot of practice.
