本文主要想告訴讀者，學英語是一個長期而艱苦的勞動，沒有任何捷徑可走。無論你用什么方法學習——用書、機器或在學校，不多實踐就無法達到預期的目的。
答案簡析
B。這里的or是“否則”的意思。
C。根據(jù)作者的觀點，這種事絕對不可能發(fā)生。impossible是一個形容詞，不符語法，can’t后不可能跟happens，often意思與作者的意圖相反。
D。唯一容易學的語言是母語。這里需要一個形容詞充當后置定語。
A。用來修飾不可數(shù)名詞，只有用how much，全句意為“母語好學，還需要那么多的練習?！焙螞r外語呢?。
B。動詞不定式充當目的狀語。意為“學習外語來研究文學”。

D。用it代指上文所說的a foreign language。

A。作者在這里提出一種假設。如果他們一星期只有一兩次使用外語。
C。固定短語，意為“做某事花費某人多長時間”。

C。許多人不可能做到這一點。這里不可以用not possible，因為它的主語不可以用人。
D。機器和書對于學習英語來說是很有幫助的。
15. B。whether …or…固定短語。
