题目内容
【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或所给单词的正确形式。
Many English language learners believe that the (great) difficulty with listening comprehension (理解) is that the listener cannot control how quickly a speaker speaks. They feel that what the speaker says disappears they can follow. This frequently means that students are learning to listen cannot keep up. They are so busy working out the meaning one part of what they hear that they miss the next part. Or they (simple) ignore a whole section because they fail to catch it quickly enough. Another difficulty is that the listener is not always in a position to get the speaker to repeat what has been said. And, of course, repeats cannot (ask) for when listening to the radio or watching TV.
Besides, (choose) of vocabulary is in the hands of the speaker, not the listener. Very often, for people listening to a foreign language, an unknown word can be like a suddenly (drop) stone making them stop and think about the meaning of the word, (cause) them to miss the next part of the speech. In listening, it really is a case of “He who (stop) to work out the meaning is lost.”
【答案】greatest；efore；who；of；imply；e asked；choice；dropped；causing；to
【解析】本文是一篇教育类阅读，很多同学发现听力是英语学习中最困难部分，文章分析了具体原因。
（1）考查形容词。本句中使用最高级greatest表示听力最大的困难是无法控制说话者的语速。故填greatest 。
（2）考查连词。句意：他们感觉到他们还没有来得及理解，说话者说的内容就消失了。连词before有多种翻译方法，在本句中意为“还没有来得及……就……”。故填before 。
（3）考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是students，关系代词who指代先行词在句中作主语，不能省略。故填who 。
（4）考查介词。介词of表示所属关系，意为“……的”，短语the meaning of one part指“一部分的意思”。故填of 。
（5）考查副词。在英语中，副词通常作状语修饰形容词、副词或动词，而形容词通常作定语或表语修饰名词。所以本句中使用副词simply作状语修饰谓语动词ignore。故填simply 。
（6）考查语态。主语repeats（重复）与动词ask之间构成被动关系，所以使用被动语态。故填be asked 。
（7）考查名词。本句的“____7____ (choose) of vocabulary”在句中作主语，要使用名词形式，所以使用choice。
（8）考查非谓语动词。句意：不认识的单词就像是突然落下的石头。本句中不及物动词drop的过去分词表示“已经完成”的动作，在句中作定语，dropped stone意为“突然落下的石头”。故填dropped。
（9）考查非谓语动词。句意：突然出现的不认识的单词让人们错过了演讲的下一部分，带来了听力方面的问题。这属于意料之中的正常的结果，作状语的现在分词在句中表示意料之中的结果。故填causing。
（10）考查主谓一致。本句定语从句的先行词是he，关系代词who指代先行词，在句中作主语，因此谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式stops。故填stops。
