24、stake BwatchCsurround Dunderstand解析：选D很多语言学习者认为他们的发音已经足够好了，因为他们的老师不经常纠正他们，或其他同学能够听懂他们所说的。mistake“弄错”；watch“观看”；surround“包围”；understand“理解，明白”。2A.fixed BdrawnCpaid Dcalled解析：选C此句是本段的主题句，发音是在语言学习中最少关注的一个方面/领域。pay attention to“关注”，符合语境和搭配。fix ones attention on/upon .“留意，专心于(其中介词为on/upon)”；draw/call one
25、s attention to“引起某人对的注意”，不合语境。3A.never BeverCeven Dusually解析：选D从下文可知，多数老师通常会让学生继续说下去。这是多数老师通常的做法，故用usually。4A.only if Bif onlyCeven if Dif ever解析：选A只有当他们说的完全错了才会让他们停下来。only if“只有当(的时候)”；if only“但愿，要是多好”；even if“即使”；if ever“如果有过的话(如果发生过的话)”。从语境看，只有only if合适。5A.fantastic BimpossibleCnecessary Dimporta
26、nt 解析：选B该句和下句是对本段第二句的解释。在课堂上纠正每个学生的发音是不可能的(impossible)。6A.poor BwellCgood Dstrict解析：选C从“that it will embarrass their classmates if they .”来看，这里是指发音好的同学的担心。be good at“在方面好，擅长”。7A.find out Bwork outCtry out Dpoint out解析：选D判断“if they help .”中they指代“谁”是做此题的关键。从语境知，这里的they指代的是“the students who are _ at p
27、ronunciation”，因此，“他们”应该是“指出”同学们的错误，故用point out (指出)。 8A.communicate BtravelCpronounce Dexchange解析：选A从下文可判断，此处说的是“因为对老师和别的学生来说你的发音足够好，你就相信你的发音足够好而能够进行交流(communicate)的话，那么当真正到了国外你也许会感到很吃惊”。本文谈论的主题是“发音”问题，与此相关应是用语言进行“交流”，因此不能选择travel(背离了主题)，下文举例也说明了这一点。9A.happy BdisappointedCsurprised Dexcited解析：选C那么当真
28、正到了国外你也许会感到很吃惊。10A.Polish BFrenchCGerman DEnglish解析：选D下文谈到他到了美国，结合常识可判断，在波兰时他是“英语”课上(英语)最好的学生。11A.none BhalfCrest Dlot解析：选B当他到美国时，他发现他说的话美国人听懂不到一半。none不能用在否定句中；rest常与the连用，构成the rest，即使加上the，此处也不对，因前面没有提到他说的话的一部分；lot也不能用，应该为a lot或lots才对。12A.near to Bdifferent fromCfar from Dfrom far解析：选C你的发音也许仍然与生来就
29、说英语的人的发音差别很大。far from“远离，远非”，这里指差别很大(暗含还能听懂一部分)。different from“与不同”，quite different from“与完全不同”，不符合语境。13A.same BmatterCcase Dfact解析：选Cif this is the case是常用语，意为“要是这样，如果这样的话”。14A.easy BbeneficialCconvenient Dhard解析：选D要是这样(指的是你的发音与生来就说英语的人的发音差别很大)的话，别人将会发现听懂你说的话“很难(hard)”，并非“容易”、“有利”或“方便”。15A.In concl
30、usion BIn a wordCOn the contrary DIn short解析：选A这是作者根据学生的常见问题最后提一点建议，并非作总结，故不能选择in a word, in short。in conclusion在此相当于finally。16A.when BuntilCunless Dwhile解析：选Bnot .until .为常见句型，意为“直到才”。17A.Stand BLookCAim DAccount解析：选C从下文的“In order to achieve this goal”得到暗示。以母语或以接近母语的发音为目标，这样就会自如地和与你交谈的人交流了。aim for“
31、瞄准，以为目标”。stand for“代表”；look for“寻找”；account for“解释的原因”。18A.smoothly BdifficultlyCtruly Dpractically解析：选A练习发音就是为了能与人自如地交流，smoothly“顺畅地，流利地”。19A.no way Bno needCno doubt Dno wonder解析：选Ctheres no doubt that .“毫无疑问”。为了实现上述目标，毫无疑问你需要开始思考发音问题，并在这上面花些时间。no way“决不”；no need“没有必要”；no wonder“难怪”。20A.take Bcost
32、Cspend Dkill解析：选Cspend .on .“在上花费时间”，符合搭配和语境。kill time也能搭配，但通常表示“消磨时光”；take time的主语往往是“事物”，不是“人”。.语法填空You are the only person that you can and ought to rely on.Friends are of great _1_ (important) in our lives.
