本文主要想告诉读者，学英语是一个长期而艰苦的劳动，没有任何捷径可走。无论你用什么方法学习——用书、机器或在学校，不多实践就无法达到预期的目的。
答案简析
1. B。这里的or是“否则”的意思。
2. C。根据作者的观点，这种事绝对不可能发生。impossible是一个形容词，不符语法，can’t后不可能跟happens，often意思与作者的意图相反。
3. D。唯一容易学的语言是母语。这里需要一个形容词充当后置定语。
4. A。用来修饰不可数名词，只有用how much，全句意为“母语好学，还需要那么多的练习。”何况外语呢？。
5. B。动词不定式充当目的状语。意为“学习外语来研究文学”。
6. C。说某种语言用speak，speak English，speak Chinese。
7. D。用it代指上文所说的a foreign language。
8. B。这里的with是“用”的意思。
9. A。作者在这里提出一种假设。如果他们一星期只有一两次使用外语。
10. C。固定短语，意为“做某事花费某人多长时间”。
11. B。后面省略了than 6 hours。意为6个小时或更多的时间。
12. D。it 代指上文所指的foreign language，故用被动被态。
13. C。许多人不可能做到这一点。这里不可以用not possible，因为它的主语不可以用人。
14. D。机器和书对于学习英语来说是很有帮助的。
15. B。whether …or…固定短语。
