【語篇解讀】作者的同事MatthewYoulden能流利地說9種語言，理解超過12種語言。

你是否也想成為一個精通多種語言的人呢？

11.F［上一句提到他們在一個辦公室工作，所以作者經常聽到他說不同的語言，因此

F項（事實上，很長時間以來我甚至不知道他是個法國人）緊承上文，說明了Matthew總是講

不同的語言帶來的結果。］

12.G［下一句提到通過法語來了解法國人就完全是另外一回事了，因此G項（想讓講

英語的人對自己的法語留下深刻印象不是個好動機）與下一句形成比照。］

13.A［該局部主要講了找個同伴一起學習的重要性，因此A項（找個同伴）能概括該段

主旨。］

14.E［下一句提到可以通過一些有趣的方式來練習新語言，因此E項（用任何方式練

習新語言都是一種創造性的行為）符合語境。］

15.C［下一句提到但是作為成年人我們卻不被允許犯錯，因此C項（作為孩子我們可

以犯錯）與下一句形成比照，說明了學語言的過程中要像孩子一樣的原因。］

36.a［句意：在東歐國家乘出租車可能是一種令人震驚的經歷。根據語境可知本句中

泛指任何一種令人震驚的經歷。故用不定冠詞。shocking詞首音素是輔音，故不定冠詞用a。］
