Question

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly(完全地), four things are necessary. First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly with confidence(自信) and without hesitation(犹豫). Thirdly, we must be able to read it without much difficulty. Finally, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.

There is no short way to succeed in language learning. A good memory(记忆) is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is no much use learning by heart long lists(一览表) of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must “Learn through use”. Practice is important. We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever(无论何时) we can.

Answer 1

答案：1B2D3B4C5C
提示：

1题学习一门外语最重要的是听、说、读、写四种技能，A、C、D三项都不够全面。 4题在学习英语时，最重要的还是“练”(practice)，古语说，熟能生巧(Practice makes perfect)，故选C项。 5题“在用中学”，文章强调练习的重要性。A项颠倒了学与用的关系，B项虽对，却不合题意。
