2.An average of just 18.75cm of rain fell last year,making ______ the driest year since California became a state in 1850.(  )
A.eachB.itC.thisD.one

分析 去年降雨量平均仅是18.75cm,是加利福尼亚自从1850年成为一个州以来最干旱的一年.

解答 答案B
each指代个体,强调"每一个";it可指代时间、距离、天气、环境等;this 意思是"这个",通常this不用来修饰不可数名词,因为不可数名词没有"这个"的概念;one代替上文出现的可数名词单数,指同名同物.此处是指last year,故选B.

点评 区分开指示代词的用法是做此类题的关键.

Most people recognize that there are many benefits of learning a foreign language. Scientific studies have even shown that learning a new language helps to keep memories sharp and naturally improves overall brain function.

But do you know that you can speak a new language in as little as 10 days? The Pimsleur Approach to speaking new languages helps users pick up new languages quickly. Even the FBI has purchased the Pimsleur Approach.

Dr. Pimsleur, a specialist in the field of applied linguistics, devoted his life and career to acquiring languages and recognized that effective communication in any language depends on mastery of a relatively limited number of words. And, trying to learn too many words at first can actually slow the language retention (保留) process. However, once this “core (核心) vocabulary” is mastered and used constantly, it speeds up language learning. The Pimsleur Approach aims at teaching you to use the core vocabulary of the language, so you can speak the most in the least amount of time. It’s not how many words you know, but rather, which words you can use.

Each Pimsleur Approach lesson has been scientifically planned to rapidly lock language material into your brain after just one listen. Just sit back, listen and start wiring your brain to pick up a new language today.

The Pimsleur Approach Programs

The entire Pimsleur Approach is what language learning should be: quick, fun and easy. You’ll absorb your new language effortlessly without any reading, writing or computer use. The Pimsleur Approach has a 100 percent guarantee: amaze yourself in 10 days or you don’t pay!

Limited availability special offer

The company is currently offering new customers a special offer of half off the language of your choice including free shipping.

The programs which normally cost $19.95 are now available for just $9.95. Better yet, they are also offering a full 30-day money-back guarantee (so if you find you are not speaking as fast as you want, simply return it for a full refund).

1.The teaching method of the Pimsleur Approach is ______.

A. mastering a number of rules B. reciting many new words

C. reading and translating D. listening and speaking

2.What does the Pimsleur Approach focus on?

A. How many core vocabularies you remember.
