议，故选Bo

【文章大意】文章主要就如何学好一门语言提出了几条建议。

1.【解析】选Fo这段主要讲了在学习一种外语上投入时间。根据上

文内容可知到目前为止，最重要的因素是你在语言中投入了多少K间。

故F项（你在语言上花费的时间越多，你学将越快。）承接上文，符合题

意。故选Fo

2.【解析】选Bo这段主要讲了学习语言还要每天练习听与读。根据

上文内容〃无论你在哪里使用MP3都可以听。〃以及下文内容可知听和

读你喜欢的东西，你大部分能理解的东西，甚至部分能理解的东西。故

B项（Readwhatyouarelisteningto.读你正在听的内容。）承上启下，符

合题意。故选Bo

3.【解析】选A。根据下文“扩大你的词汇量，你会需要很多词汇量的。

开始注意单词，以及它们是如何组合成短语的。〃并分析本段可知，这

段主要讲了要建立自己的词汇库。故A项（Focusonwordsandphrases

注重单词和短语）能够概括本段主旨，符合题意。故选A。

4.【解析】选D。根据上文〃如果你不想学这门语言，你就不会学。〃

以及下文〃不要等待别人向你展示语言，也不要等待别人告诉你该怎么

做。〃可知D项（如果你真想学这门语言，那就掌握主动权）承上启下，符

合题意。故选Do

5.【解析】选E。根据下文'‘不要担心你记不起来或还不能理解的事情。

这不重要。你正在学习和提高。语言会逐渐在你的大脑中变得更清晰,

但这会在你无法控制的时间表上发生。〃可知，只要确保你有足够的时

间学习这门语言就行了。那是成功的最大保证。故E项（放松并确保花

时间在这门语言上。）能够概括本段大意。故选E。
