{解析}:
36. C。 根据下文暗示解题。根据下文such as your job or your studies可知是实用的(practical)理由。其余三选项分别意为:技术的;政治的;身体的,物理的。
37.D。 把握句间的逻辑关系。此句与前句同为第一句所提到的关于学习一种新语言的原因,两者之间为选择关系,故选or。
38.A。 利用词汇间的逻辑关系解题。四个选项中,与语言学习关系最密切,且能和films和music并列的,就是A选项literature(文学)。其余三个选项分别意为:交通;农业;医药。
39.B。 考查固定结构。have a good knowledge of something意为:精通,掌握,对…很熟悉。
40.C。 根据上下文语境解题。句意:大部分人通过各种各样的方法(methods)学得最好,但是传统课堂对许多人来说是个理想的开始。
41.D。 根据上下文语境解题。传统的课堂提供(provide)一个环境,在其中你可以在某个擅长于这种语言的人的指导(guidance)下练习。前三个选项分别意为:保护;改变;尊重,均不符合语境。
42.C。 参见上题解析。其余三个选项分别意为:控制;命令;压力,均不符合语境。
43.A。 根据句内的逻辑关系解题。我们都过着忙碌的(busy)生活并且学习一门语言需要时间。其余三个选项分别意为:快乐的;简单的;正常的,均不符合语境,
44.B。 根据生活常识及语境解题。学习一门语言当然需要花费时间(time)。其余三项和take搭配分别意为:鼓起勇气;消耗能量;发生。
45.C。 根据词汇复现解题。前面有“regularly(定期地)”,可知选routine(常规,惯例)。
46.B。 根据句间的逻辑关系解题。根据前面的take years(花很多年时间)和but(转折关系),可知选a lot less(花的时间少得多)。
47. A。 根据上下文语境解题。根据下文的“Yes, children do learn languages more __48__ than adults”可知,有些人觉得自己太老(old)了。其余三项分别意为:紧张;虚弱;疲劳,均不符合语境。
48. B。根据生活常识解题。一般来说,小孩学习语言的确比成年人要快(quickly)。
49. A。根据句间的逻辑关系解题。前面说小孩学习语言的确比成年人要快,后面but转折说研究表明你可以在任何年龄(age)学习语言。其余三个选项分别为:速度;距离;学校,均不符合题意。
50. A。 根据下文暗示解题。下句出现了“Well, relax and laugh”,可知人们担心(worry about)他们犯的错误。
51.D。 利用原词复现解题。前面反复出现learn、learning,可知此处选D。其余三个选项分别意为:唱歌;工作;讨价还价,均不符合语境。
52.B。 考查固定句型:祈使句+ and…。句意:放松并自我解嘲一下自己的错误,这样你就不太可能再次犯这些错误。两句间为顺承关系。
53. D。 根据下文暗示解题。根据下文“But with some work and devotion, you’ll make progress”可知,学习一门新的语言从来都不容易(easy)。其余三项分别意为:令人厌烦的;困难的,努力的,坚硬的;有趣的,均不符合题意。
54. B。 根据句内逻辑关系解题。根据后面的“the positive reaction of some people when you say just a few words”可知,你只说几句话,人们就与积极的反应,因此会amazed(惊奇的)。其余三项分别意为:被责备;被打断;被告知,均不符合题意。
