1.According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much about making mistakes because________.(B)
A. native speakers will ignore their mistakes
B. communication is the primary goal of language learning
C. native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their language
D. everyone makes mistakes when trying to communicate in a strange language
解析:文章第二句“If the primary goal of language use is communication, the mistakes are secondary consideration that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases.”。本题为细节题。根据定位句,语言使用的基本目标是交流,错误是次要考虑的问题,因此语言学习者不应该担心犯错误。故选B。
2.The passage indicates that the present tense in English is________.(C)
A. basically the same in English as it is in Spanish
B. not the most difficult problem for foreign students
C. not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate future
D. used with some verbs but not with others to express future intention
解析:文章第五句“For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying ‘I do it’to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by interacting with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say ‘I’ll do it’.”。本题为细节题。根据定位句,西班牙人讲英语的时候用“I do it”表示在不久的将来做某事的愿望,而以英语为母语的英国人则用“I’ll do it”来表示。所以通过和native speaker的交流,就可以体会到英语中的一般现在时不用来表示“将来做某事的愿望”。故选C。

解析:文章第四句“The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them.”。本题为细节题。根据定位句,语言学习者可以观察当地人的表达方式,以及当地人的表达与他们的表达方式有何差异。故选D。
