W: Now, Dr. Charles, tell us about the title of your book, Learning a Language over Eggs and Toast.
M: Well, one of the most important keys to learning another language is to establish a regular study program, like planning a few minutes every morning around breakfast time.
W: Now, sorry for saying this, but your ideas may sound a little simplistic to our viewers. I mean I took Spanish in high school for four years, and I didn’t become a proficient speaker of the language.
M: Well, I think there are many people that feel that way, and that’s just it. I’m not implying that we can become fluent speakers in a matter of a few minutes here and there, but rather following a regular, consistent, and focused course of study can help us on the way to the promised land of language mastery, and remember there is a difference between native fluency and proficiency in a language, and I am proposing the latter.
W: So what are some of the basic keys you are suggesting in the book?
M: Well, as I just mentioned, people need to plan out their study by setting realistic and attainable goals from the beginning. I mean, some people get caught up in the craze of learning the language in 30 days, only to become frustrated when they don’t perform up to their expectations. And small steps, little by little, are the key.
W: Um-hum. Now you mentioned something about maximizing your learning potential by learning about your own individual learning styles. Can you elaborate on that?
M: Sure. People often have different ways of learning and approach learning tasks differently. Some people are visual learners who prefer to see models of the patterns they are expected to learn: others are auditory learners who favor hearing instructions, for example, over reading them. Now, our preferences are determined by many factors, for example, personality, culture, and past experience.
W: Well, Dr. Charles, what is your learning style?
M: Well, I’m a very tactile learner.
W: You mean one who learns through hands-on experience?
M: Exactly.
W: So, how does knowing your learning style benefit you?
M: Well, this might seem a little unusual, but moving around while trying to learn and memorize material helps me a great deal. When I cut up tomatoes and onions for my omelet in the morning, I might recite aloud vocabulary to the rhythm of the knife. But it is important to remember that often our learning styles are not singular in nature, but are often very multidimensional, and we tend to learn differently in different situations.
W: So, what is my learning style?
M: Well, you’re going to have to read my book to find that out.
6. What is one of the most important points in learning a foreign language?
7. How will the viewers probably think about Dr. Charles’ ideas?
8. What language did the woman learn in high school?
9. What is Dr. Charles’ learning style?
10. What suggestions does Dr. Charles give the woman to find out her learning style?

选项 A、He learns through practical experiences.
B、He learns through seeing models.
C、He learns through hearing instructions.
D、He learns through reading books.

答案 A

解析 ①选项都以He learns through开头,因此推测对话与男士的学习方式相关。②女士问Charles博士的学习风格是什么,他回答说是一个触觉型学习者(tactile learner),即通过传承的经验学习。A项“通过实际经验学习”是其同义替换,故正确。B“通过看模型学习”、C“通过听指令学习”和D“通过读书学习”都与experience无关。
