【解析】

本文讲了模仿可以使孩子学到许多东西，包括学英语，不必担心语法和词汇，不用害怕出错，只要自然地交流表达自己即可。

1.句意：这教会他们如何说语言。

speak说；read读；write写；listen to听。根据上文“They copy their parents, their friends and even the TV.”可知，小孩子通过模仿家长、朋友或电视来学说话，故选A。

2.句意：当你听到外国人说英语，尽可能地重复他们说的话。

as good as和……一样好；as soon as一……就；as well as和……一样好；as possible as尽可能。根据语境可知，模仿是学习语言的好方法，所以要尽可能地重复外国人说的话，故选D。

3.句意：他们不担心词汇和较差的语法。

complain about抱怨；worry about担心；take care of照顾；laugh at嘲笑。根据上文“Children don’t practice grammar…”可知，不练习语法说明他们并不担心这个问题，故选B。

4.句意：他们找到表达自己的方式，并且做得很成功。

enjoy享受；talk说话；relax放松；express表达。根据上文“…but use the language to talk about things that interest them.”可知，他们用这门语言来讨论感兴趣的事情，所以他们注重的是如何表达自己，故选D。

5.句意：寻找机会去跟别人用英语交谈。

places地方；questions问题；chances机会；dialogues对话。根据上文“Students of English school also pay their attention to communication.”可知，学校更加重视交流，所以学生们要寻找机会和外国人对话，故选C。

6.句意：如果你找不到一个外国人来交谈，那就和其他的学生交谈。

other其他的（表泛指）；the other其他的（表特指）；others别人；the others剩下的全部。根据空后的students可知，空前应该用形容词修饰，排除CD；“the other+名词”特指某个群体中其余的人，根据语境可知这里没有划定范围，所以要用other表泛指，故选A。

7.句意：不要担心犯错，你想要的是学习怎样轻松舒服地交流。

lessons课程；exams考试；waste time浪费时间；making mistakes犯错。根据“what you want is to learn how to communicate easily and comfortably .”可知，想要学习如何与人交流，就不该害怕犯错误，故选D。

8.句意：记住，哪怕词汇量很小，你也可以和别人成功地交流。

small小；big大；high高；low低。形容词汇量要用大小，而不用高低，排除CD；根据even可知，这里是说在词汇量很小的情况下也可以成功地交流，故选A。
