解析：

1．根据前句与后句的意思可知，世界上约1500种语言，只有很少的几种语言非常重要．few表否定“几乎没有”，many不合句意，a lot不仅不合句意，而且还不合语法． 2．由后句“in England and the USA"可知是“使用英语”． 3．not only… but also…结构中的also可以省略． 4．as作介词“作为、当作”的意思，这里是指以英语为母语的人数大约是两亿． 5．“以英语为母语的人大约有两亿，而把英语当外语学习的人数就很难说清了”． 6．“不同的人对这个问题的看法不同”． 7．广告词的内容为“六周学会英语，否则退钱”． 8．用from表示纯正标准的发音可以从第一天开始．since是“自从……以来”，常与完成时态连用．on表示在第一天． 9．由前面的records，tapes可知． 10．广告或多或少地在效果方面有些夸张，所以说事实上并不完全是广告所说的那个样子． 11．先行词language被限定词the only所修饰，所以用关系代词that引导定语从句． 12．这一句话是解释上一句“惟一容易学的语言是母语”，提醒读者别忘了根本原因是我们在小的时候就已学会了母语． 13．同12． 14．这是个总起句，“想想小孩子是怎么做的吧”，下文就列举孩子学母语时的情况． 15．孩子先是听别人说，然后试着说他所听到的话，所以用try． 16．总是用母语谈话，用母语进行思考． 17．通过上文所述及下段的内容可知，这里是在强调大量练习对学习语言的重要性． 18．由后面because引导的原因状语从句，可知“要说英语容易学，是很难的”． 19．练习需要努力，而且要花费时间，cost一般只用于“花钱”． 20．好的老师、录像带、磁带和字典能有帮助，但它们不能代替学生的练习． |
