本文介绍如何学会用英语思维。
（1）在练习中，足球运动员一遍又一遍地把球传给队友。practice练习；break休息；中断；game比赛；day白天。由后文“足球运动员将会一遍一遍地将球传给他的队友”可知这是在练习期间。故答案为A。
（2）所以他不必考虑在比赛中传球。wait for等待；think about考虑；look at看；give up放弃。根据语境可知反复练习从而形成一种本能反应，传球时不需要考虑，故答案为B。
（3）你可以按照这种方式训练自己用英语思考。speak讲；say说；tell告诉；think思考。根据句首“think in English”，所以此处用think，故答案为D。
（4）第一步是想你日常使用的单词，简单的日常词汇，像book、shoe和tree等。由前后语境可知此处是举例,而只有like“像……”符合题意。故答案为C。
（5） 例如，无论何时你看见书，你就应该用英语思考，而不是用你的母语。whatever无论什么；whichever无论哪一个；whenever无论何时；however无论怎样。由句意可知此处需用疑问副词,所以排除A和B,正确答案为C。
（6）在你学会用英语思考几个单词之后，继续到下一步，用句子来思考。sentence句子；passage短文；lesson课；class班级。由前文可知用单词思考之后应该是再用句子来思考。故答案为A。
（7）听并跟读对学一门语言来说是非常有用的方法。idea主意；step步；way方法；plan计划。根据句意，故答案为C。
（8）先听，不要太在意你是否完全明白你在听的。此处是宾语从句。由前文“不必太关心”可知该题if(是否)符合题意。故答案为B。
（9）本句是“the+比较级...,the+比较级...”的用法。根据句意“你听得越多”可知,应该是“你学得越多”。故答案为D。
（10）由前文“你达到一个更高的水平之后”可知此处表达的是“开始用英语和自己谈话”，故答案为C。
考查词汇在篇章中的运用能力，答题时首先要跳过空格通读文章掌握其大意，然后细读文章字斟句酌逐一作答，注意考虑句型、语法、搭配、语境等因素。最后通读一遍检查验证。
