问题     The other day I announced that I would go abroad for further studies right after my college education. My decision evoked(引起的)the immediate objection of my family: Why? Why should I borrow a huge sum of money for overseas studies while I might receive the same education at home at a relatively low cost? My answer is: In addition to knowledge, I can gain experience that those who stay at home will never have.
    First, experience is the opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages. While a person can study a foreign language at home, the effect can never be compared with constant use of the language in academic and everyday life. There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken. Living in English-speaking countries such as America and Australia for several years, for example my English will be as perfect as native speakers.
    Second, living and studying abroad offers me a different perspective on the world. On a university campus, foreign students are likely to encounter their counterparts(对应的人或物)from different countries and areas and are exposed to different ideas and values. This helps me to have a meaningful understanding of different societies and inevitably sees my own country in a new light.
    Third, overseas experience, frustrating and painful as it may be, is helpful. A person going abroad for study often experiences much more difficulties—difficulties in adapting to a new culture and in dealing with all problems alone. Yet, the difficulty, coupled with the frustration brought on by culture shock, is a rewarding experience for one’s future life and development of personality.
    Although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful, the payoff is worthwhile. For the benefit is not merely knowledge gained, but the experience desirable in one’s personal life. [br] People can make their English as good as a native speaker if they______.
选项 A、often listen to tapes
B、can live in England or Canada
C、try their best to study that home
D、often visit the foreign websites
答案 B
解析 由题干中的native speaker定位到第二段末句。该句指出，在像美国和澳大利亚这样的讲英语的国家住上几年，那么作者的英语就会和以英语为母语的人一样棒了。B)提到的英国和加拿大这两个国家正是以英语为母语的国家，表达的是与原文相同的意思。
