【主旨大意】本篇短文讲诉了在国外传授汉语是非常困难的，然而Daisy Raffan却把这件事变为现实，且变得比较容易，她的方法主要是制作了网页，上面有她的讲课和与学生就留的录像，这种方式赢得了很多人甚至英国首相的赞誉。
1. B 合成形容词18-year-old用连字符号连接，这时的名词不加-s，且这种形容词只做定语不做表语。
2. A 承接上文说的学汉语很难，这位年轻人却想把这门language语言带给年轻人，即教会他们汉语。
3. C 在网上制作学习网页用set up,其余的讲不通。
4. C 修饰后面的people可数名词用many，且在as…as的中间需要原级，所以选择答案C.
5. D 固定结构think it adj. for sb. to do sth. “认为做某事怎么样”，所以选答案D.
6. C 本句子用的是完成时态，所以是从5岁开始since the age of five,容易迷惑的是固定词组at the age of…在…岁时，这里不是选答案B,而是C.
7. B 句意承接，是两年后，在她决定传递她所学的知识之后，而不是之前，所以选答案B.
8. D 固定词组come up with表示“想出”。
9. A 人们害怕学普通话的原因是，人们认为学普通话是impossible不可能的，其余三者都意思恰恰相反。
10. C 固定用法have fun doing sth.高兴做某事；做某事快乐。
