解答 答案B
each指代个体,强调"每一个";it可指代时间、距离、天气、环境等;this 意思是"这个",通常this不用来修饰不可数名词,因为不可数名词没有"这个"的概念;one代替上文出现的可数名词单数,指同名同物.此处是指last year,故选B.

Most people recognize that there are many benefits of learning a foreign language. Scientific studies have even shown that learning a new language helps to keep memories sharp and naturally improves overall brain function.

But do you know that you can speak a new language in as little as 10 days? The Pimsleur Approach to speaking new languages helps users pick up new languages quickly. Even the FBI has purchased the Pimsleur Approach.

Dr. Pimsleur, a specialist in the field of applied linguistics, devoted his life and career to acquiring languages and recognized that effective communication in any language depends on mastery of a relatively limited number of words. And, trying to learn too many words at first can actually slow the language retention (保留) process. However, once this “core (核心) vocabulary” is mastered and used constantly, it speeds up language learning. The Pimsleur Approach aims at teaching you to use the core vocabulary of the language, so you can speak the most in the least amount of time. It’s not how many words you know, but rather, which words you can use.

Each Pimsleur Approach lesson has been scientifically planned to rapidly lock language material into your brain after just one listen. Just sit back, listen and start wiring your brain to pick up a new language today.

The Pimsleur Approach Programs

The entire Pimsleur Approach is what language learning should be: quick, fun and easy. You’ll absorb your new language effortlessly without any reading, writing or computer use. The Pimsleur Approach has a 100 percent guarantee: amaze yourself in 10 days or you don’t pay!
