Question

My name is Lisa. Because of my job, I often went to the United States. I often felt worried during my trip because I didn’t speak English well. So I decided to learn English.

I went to Mrs Brown’s English class. Before I came to the class, I always walked away when I met any Americans. But now I try to talk to Americans in English. And I like going to supermarkets, cafes and restaurants to talk with local people.

I learn English in four ways. First , I listen to the teacher carefully and keep speaking in class. Second, I do my homework after I get home. I learn at least five words every day.

【解析】

试题分析：学习英语对于很多人来说都是一件很困难的事，作者也有这个担心。因为工作的原因，他经常去美国，但是他英语说得不好。后来他去上了Brown夫人的课，慢慢改变了。他告诉我们，打开学好英语这扇大门的钥匙就是要开口说英语。

1.D细节理解题。根据短文的开头 Because of my job, I often went to the United States可知，作者因为工作的原因，经常去美国。由此可知应选D。

2.B 细节理解题。根据短文第一段中I often felt worried during my trip because I didn’t speak English well.可知，作者在去美国的路途上经常会感到担心，因为他英语说得不好。由此可知选B。

3.B 推理判断题。根据短文的最后一段中To learn English well, I think you must learn to open your mouth. For me that is the key to opening the door of learning English.可知，作者告诉我们，要想学好英语，你就必须张开你的嘴，这是打开学习英语大门的钥匙。意思就是告诉我们要开口用英语去和美国人交流。由此可知B选项正确。

4.B推理判断题。根据短文第三段的内容可知，这一段中作者介绍了四种学习英语的方法，他用了First…Second….Third和Finally，故B选项错误，选B。根据短文第二段中Before I came to the class, I always walked away when I met any Americans. But now I try to talk to Americans in English可知A说的是对的；根据I went to Mrs Brown’s English class可知，作者去了Brown夫人的英语课后，他就变了，因此Brown夫人的课对作者是有帮助的，故C说的对；根据文意可知，作者说打开学习英语的大门的钥匙是开口说英语，因此作者肯定也是这么做的，故D对。
