Every year millions of people start learning 7 . ‎ ‎ How do they do it? Some people try at home 8 books and tapes, others go to evening classes or watch TV programs. 9 they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, learning it will   10  a long time, like language learning at school.

C。根据作者的观点，这种事绝对不可能发生。impossible是一个形容词，不符语法，can’t后不可能跟happens，often意思与作者的意图相反。‎ 3. D。唯一容易学的语言是母语。这里需要一个形容词充当后置定语。‎ 4. A。用来修饰不可数名词，只有用how much，全句意为“母语好学，还需要那么多的练习。”何况外语呢？。‎ 5. B。动词不定式充当目的状语。意为“学习外语来研究文学”。‎ 6. C。说某种语言用speak，speak English，speak Chinese。‎ 7. D。用it代指上文所说的a foreign language。‎ 8. B。这里的with是“用”的意思。‎ 9. A。作者在这里提出一种假设。如果他们一星期只有一两次使用外语。‎ 10. C。固定短语，意为“做某事花费某人多长时间”。‎ 11. B。后面省略了than 6 hours。意为6个小时或更多的时间。‎ 12. D。it 代指上文所指的foreign language，故用被动被态。‎ 13. C。许多人不可能做到这一点。这里不可以用not possible，因为它的主语不可以用人。‎ 14. D。机器和书对于学习英语来说是很有帮助的。‎ ‎15. B。whether …or…固定短语。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
