25、hat what the speaker says disappears _2_ they can follow. This frequently means that students 3 are learning to listen cannot keep up.

26、catch it quickly enough. Another difficulty is that the listener is not always in a position to get the speaker to repeat what has been said.

27、the listener.

28、the meaning is lost.【参考答案】【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了英语学习的难点以及应该怎样做。能省略。4. of 考查介词。介词of表示所属关系，意为的，短语the meaning of one part指一部分的意思。5. simply 考查副词。在英语中，副词通常作状语修饰形容词、副词或动词，而形容词通常作表语，或作定语修饰名词，所以本句中使用副词simply作状语修饰谓语动词ignore。6. be asked 考查语态。主语repeats（重复）与动词ask之间构成被动关系，所以使用被动语态。7. choice 考查名词。本句的_7_ (choose) of vocabu

29、lary在句中作主语，要使用名词形式，且谓语动词为is，所以使用choice。8. dropped 考查非谓语动词。句意：不认识的单词就像是突然落下的石头。本句中不及物动词drop的过去分词表示已经完成的动作，在句中作定语，suddenly dropped stone意为突然落下的石头。9. causing 考查分词作结果状语。句意：突然出现的不认识的单词让人们错过了演讲的下一部分，带来了听力方面的问题。这属于意料之中的正常的结果，应用现在分词作结果状语，故填causing。10. stops 考查主谓一致。本句定语从句的先行词是He，关系代词who指代先行词，在从句中作主语，因此谓语动词要用

30、第三人称单数形式，故填stops。V. 短文改错（每小题1分，满分10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线(/)划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2. 只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。As students, all of us will be faced with a problem after passed the college entrance examination.
