分析 本文屬于語言的學(xué)習(xí)與運用類的短文閱讀．主要介紹了學(xué)習(xí)外語需要的四個重要因素：聽說讀寫．關(guān)鍵是在練習(xí)中大膽運用，不要死記詞匯、背字典，要大膽地練習(xí)，學(xué)用結(jié)合才是關(guān)鍵．
解答 46-50 BDBCD
46：B．細節(jié)理解題．第一段清楚介紹了學(xué)習(xí)好外語的四個步驟，聽，說，讀和寫．故選B．
47：D．細節(jié)理解題．文中第一段we must be able to speak it ourselves，correctly with confidence（自信） and without hesitation．說明我們只有毫不猶豫地充滿自信地練習(xí)才能學(xué)好，否則缺乏自信猶豫不決就學(xué)不好．故選D．
48：B．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段It is no much use learning by heart long lists（一覽表） of words and their meanings，studying the dictionary and so on．可知，單純地學(xué)死記單詞及其含義，背詞典是學(xué)不會英語的．故選：B
49：C．推理判斷題．We must"Learn through use"．Practice is important．可知，在學(xué)習(xí)英語中實踐是很重要的．故選C
50：D．句意理解題．根據(jù)最后一段中的描述We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever（無論何時） we can．可知，我們學(xué)習(xí)語言的目的是運用，在反復(fù)運用的過程中也就學(xué)會了語言．故選D．
點評 閱讀理解題時要培養(yǎng)自己快速閱讀的習(xí)慣，切不可在一些難懂的句式或者詞語上耽誤過多的時間，可通篇理解，掌握其大意，有針對性的研究題目的要求，對癥下藥，果斷作出決定．最后再檢查選擇答案是否符合文意．
