First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, with confidence and without hesitation(猶豫). Thirdly, we must do much reading. Finally, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar. There are no shortcuts to success in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is not much learning by heart long lists 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 practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.（1）The most important things to learn a foreign language are . A.understanding and speakingB.Listening, speaking, reading and writingC.writing and understandingD.memorizing and listening（2）Someone hears and writes English very well, but he speaks it very badly.

We must learn through use. Practice is important. “如果我們對于記點語法規(guī)則就很滿足，但在并不是真正在學(xué)語言。我們必須通過使用它來學(xué)這門語言。所以選B。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的”Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.“練習(xí)非常重要。我們必須盡可能地練習(xí)說和寫一門語言，故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。6．閱讀理解 A story posted by The New York Post Monday tells the tale of Katrina Holte, a Hillsboro woman who quit her job
