If you lack confidence as an English speaker, you may tell yourself things like, “___8___” When you talk to other people, you may say things like, “I’m so sorry for my English.” But if you keep thinking and saying such things, you are sure to start believing them.
So the next time you are using your English, pay attention to what you tell yourself or others. Be sure to replace unhelpful thoughts or ideas with better ones.

One of the biggest barriers to confidence in speaking a second language is the constant worry about making mistakes.

32．下文“If you know this language, you know the culture and mind of the people.(如果你懂这门语言，你就了解人民的文化和思想)”表明，学习汉语有好处，不仅是学到了语言，还能帮助你理解当地文化和人们的理念。由此可知，我们学的不仅仅是语言，A选项“学习汉语不仅仅是学习一门语言”切题，故选A。
33．下文“Tones are important because a lot of Chinese characters sound similar or even the same.(声调很重要，因为许多汉字发音相似甚至相同)”可知，下文突然说到发音。由此可知，前面一句说的是发音，G选项“汉语本身很独特，尤其考虑到其发音特点”可以引出下文，故选G。
34．下文“For example, the Chinese character for ‘tea’ has some lines of grass, the roof of a house and people drinking tea.(例如，“茶”的汉字有几行草、屋顶和喝茶的人)”举的例子说明了有些人在学习汉字的时候使用了想象的方法。由此可知，D选项“有些人发现学习汉语时运用想象力很重要”切题，故选D。

But it probably won’t go well!(作为一个喜欢爱情故事的高中生，你可能会想从《简爱》开始。但这可能不会很顺利!)”说明从《简爱》开始读英语书是困难的，C项“some children’s books”对应“Jane Eyre”，儿童书籍是不难的书，因此推断C项“相反，你可以从一些儿童书籍开始”符合语境。故选C。
38．空处是段落小标题。根据下文“It can be very helpful if you already have an idea of what’s going on in a book. Knowing the story can guide you along as you try to understand the new words.( 如果你已经对书中的内容有了一个概念，这将会非常有帮助。在你努力理解新单词的时候，了解这个故事可以为你提供指导。)”可知，本段建议挑选已经有所了解的书籍，因此推断F项“选择一本有很多图片或者你已经知道的书”为最佳标题。故选F。

40．上文“You might not have read a book aloud since primary school. But it can be a useful way to learn a foreign language. This will give you a chance to slow down and better understand the language.(你可能从小学开始就没有大声朗读过一本书。但它是学习外语的一种有用的方法。这将给你一个机会放慢速度，更好地理解语言。)说明大声读书可以让你放慢速度，更好的理解语言，D项“此外，它还有助于你的发音练习”是大声朗读的另一个好处，与上文是递进关系，it指代“read a book aloud”。故选D。

24．根据上文“Universally, people view a person that crosses arms as insecure, annoyed or closed off.(人们普遍认为交叉双臂的人缺乏安全感、易怒或封闭)”可知，人们认为交叉双臂的人缺乏安全感、易怒或封闭，由此可知，空处承接上文说明交叉双臂所代表的含义，故F选项“如果你把它们交叉在胸前，这可能表明你在试图隐藏什么”符合语境，故选F。
25．根据后文“If you cross them at the knee but point your knees away from other people, you show you’re uncomfortable with them.(如果你在膝盖处交叉，但膝盖指向远离其他人，这表示你对他们感到不舒服)”可知，如果你在膝盖处交叉，但膝盖指向远离其他人，这表示你对他们感到不舒服，这说明交叉双腿的方式可以告诉别人你的感受，所以空处引起下文，故G选项“你交叉双腿的方式可以告诉别人你在任何时候的感受”符合语境，故选G。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了学习新语言的三个简单有效的的语言学习方法。
26．根据上文“The following are three simple language-learning exercises you can add to your daily plan.”（以下是三个简单的语言学习练习，你可以添加到你的日常计划。）可推知，接下来可以描述你可以应用这些语言练习在你的生活中。选项D“You can adapt them in any way that works best for you.”（你可以用任何最适合你的方式来应用它们。）them指代上文提到的three simple language-learning exercises，故选D。
27．根据上文“The idea of a word of the day as a language-learning exercise is a little out of date.”（把每日一词当作语言学习练习的想法有点过时了。）可知，每日一次这个方法在今日的语言学习中是被认为是过时的。结合第一段中“The following are three simple language-learning exercises you can add to your daily plan.”（以下是三个简单的语言学习练习，你可以添加到你的日常计划。）可知，作者认为每日一词这个方式是可行的。所以空白处应和前文是转折关系，表明这种方法是有效的。选项E“But focusing on just one word a day can really be very useful.”（但是每天只专注于一个单词是非常有用的。）符合题意，故选E。
28．根据上文“When you’re learning a new language, it’s important to pay attention to those words having a similar meaning but used in different ways.”（当你学习一门新语言时，注意那些意思相似但用法不同的单词是很重要的。）指出学习新语言时，近义词在学习中是重要的。下文“A good dictionary will give you some tips about the synonyms, but the best way to learn how to use similar words is to listen to other speakers and take note.”（一本好的词典会给你一些关于近义词的提示，但是学习如何使用相似词的最好方法是听其他人说话并记下来。）讲述了词典对于学词的作用，但最好的方式是学习别人如何使用它们。可推知，空白处可以结合事例告诉学习者，使用近义词要贴合语境，不能乱用。选项G“For example, “big” and “vast” are synonyms, but you wouldn’t talk about a “vast dog.””（例如，“大”和“巨大”是近义词，但你不会谈论“巨大的狗”）起承上启下的作用，故选G。
29．根据下文“If you see or hear something in the language you’re learning, make sure to try to bring it into the language you’re using.”（如果你在学习的语言中看到或听到了什么，一定要把它融入到你正在使用的语言中。）讲述了在学习新语言时，翻译成目标语是一种可行的办法。所以空白处可以讲述翻译在目标语学习中是重要的。选项A“Translate what you see and hear around you.”（翻译你周围的所见所闻。）与下文的逻辑一致，故选A。
30．根据上文“ If you see or hear something in the language you’re learning, make sure to try to bring it into the language you’re using.”（如果你在学习的语言中看到或听到了什么，一定要把它融入到你正在使用的语言中。）讲述了在学习新语言时，把看到的或听到的东西翻译成目标语是一种可行的办法。下文“Actually write out these translations so as to check them against another translation.”（实际写出这些译文，以便与另一个译文对照。）可推知，空白处可能的论述为任何看到的或听到的都可以翻译成目标语。选项F“And surely any text you see in your native language can be translated.”（当然，任何你看到的母语文本都可以被翻译。）承接前文逻辑，符合题意，故选F。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了联合国组织了首届汉语视频节来庆祝联合国汉语日，来自27个国家的人们参加了这个特殊的活动，并通过视频的方式展现了他们学汉语的经历和想法。
31．上文“People from 27 countries took part in the one-hour special event.(来自27个国家的人们参加了为期一小时的特别活动)”和下文“Over 340 videos told touching stories about a civilized, modern and youthful China through their personal experiences in the country.(340多个视频通过他们在中国的亲身经历讲述了一个文明、现代、年轻的中国的感人故事)”可知，上下文在讲外国人用视频分享自己的中国故事。由此可知，F选项“他们通过短视频分享对中国语言和文化的热爱”能够承上启下，故选F。
32．下文“If you know this language, you know the culture and mind of the people.(如果你懂这门语言，你就了解人民的文化和思想)”表明，学习汉语有好处，不仅是学到了语言，还能帮助你理解当地文化和人们的理念。由此可知，我们学的不仅仅是语言，A选项“学习汉语不仅仅是学习一门语言”切题，故选A。
33．下文“Tones are important because a lot of Chinese characters sound similar or even the same.(声调很重要，因为许多汉字发音相似甚至相同)”可知，下文突然说到发音。由此可知，前面一句说的是发音，G选项“汉语本身很独特，尤其考虑到其发音特点”可以引出下文，故选G。
34．下文“For example, the Chinese character for ‘tea’ has some lines of grass, the roof of a house and people drinking tea.(例如，“茶”的汉字有几行草、屋顶和喝茶的人)”举的例子说明了有些人在学习汉字的时候使用了想象的方法。由此可知，D选项“有些人发现学习汉语时运用想象力很重要”切题，故选D。
35．上文“There are some languages that have ‘loan-words’ from Chinese.(有些语言有汉语的“外来词”)”可知，有些语言里有来自汉语的“外来词”，E选项“因此，学习中文后，可能更容易学会它们”与前一句有逻辑上的因果关系，能够承接上文。故选E。
36．G 37．C 38．F 39．E 40．D
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了如何读英语书籍学习英语的一些有效建议。
36．上文“Reading a book in English is one of the best ways to study the language. Sure, it can be pretty difficult at the beginning.(读英语书是学习这门语言的最好方法之一。当然，一开始会很困难。)”说明尽管读英语书是学习英语的好方法，但是开始会很困难，结合下文黑体部分阐述的是有效建议，可推断空处承上启下，G项“这里有一些建议，让阅读更容易，更有趣。”符合语境，引出下文的有效建议。故选G。
37．根据标题“Pick books that aren’t too hard(挑选不太难的书)”可知，本段建议挑选不太难的书读，上文“As a high school student who likes love stories, you might want to start with Jane Eyre. But it probably won’t go well!(作为一个喜欢爱情故事的高中生，你可能会想从《简爱》开始。但这可能不会很顺利!)”说明从《简爱》开始读英语书是困难的，C项“some children’s books”对应“Jane Eyre”，儿童书籍是不难的书，因此推断C项“相反，你可以从一些儿童书籍开始”符合语境。故选C。
38．空处是段落小标题。根据下文“It can be very helpful if you already have an idea of what’s going on in a book. Knowing the story can guide you along as you try to understand the new words.( 如果你已经对书中的内容有了一个概念，这将会非常有帮助。在你努力理解新单词的时候，了解这个故事可以为你提供指导。)”可知，本段建议挑选已经有所了解的书籍，因此推断F项“选择一本有很多图片或者你已经知道的书”为最佳标题。故选F。
39．根据段落标题“Keep a dictionary by your side(随身带着词典)”可知，本段建议读书时使用字典，根据上文“When we say dictionary, we mean a physical dictionary. Yes, you could use Baidu Translate for everything, but that quick satisfaction isn’t going to help with learning that much.(当我们说字典时，我们指的是一本实体字典。是的，你可以使用百度翻译所有东西，但这种快速的满足不会有太多的帮助。)”可知，此处建议使用实体字典，不用网上词典，E项中的“an actual dictionary”与之呼应，因此推断E项“相反，你应该在真正的字典里查找生词”符合语境，与上文的百度翻译相对。故选E。
40．上文“You might not have read a book aloud since primary school. But it can be a useful way to learn a foreign language. This will give you a chance to slow down and better understand the language.(你可能从小学开始就没有大声朗读过一本书。但它是学习外语的一种有用的方法。这将给你一个机会放慢速度，更好地理解语言。)说明大声读书可以让你放慢速度，更好的理解语言，D项“此外，它还有助于你的发音练习”是大声朗读的另一个好处，与上文是递进关系，it指代“read a book aloud”。故选D。
