【解题导语】 当一个母语是英语的人听到一个人说着蹩脚的英语时是什么感受？厌烦还是耐心倾听？本文就此问题进行了讨论。
1．broken 解析：考查词性转换。句意：似乎蹩脚的英语让他们感到厌烦。修饰名词用形容词，故填动词break的形容词形式broken，意为“蹩脚的；不流利的”。
2．on/upon 解析：考查介词。句意：我认为这要取决于英语为母语的人。depend on/upon是固定搭配，意为“依赖；取决于”。故填on/upon。
3．easily 解析：考查词性转换。句意：有些人就是容易生气。设空处修饰动词，要用副词，故填easily。
4．attempting 解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：当我听到有人努力说英语时，我很耐心是因为我知道用非母语交流是多么不容易。此处为“hear＋宾语＋宾补”结构，attempt与宾语之间为逻辑上的主动关系，且此处指听到有人正在努力说英语，故用现在分词作宾补。故填attempting。
5．how 解析：考查宾语从句。句意见上一题解析。此处为感叹句用作宾语从句，用于加强语气。设空处修饰形容词difficult，故填how。
6．to learn 解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：我也知道英语很难学，那增加了我对他们的努力的尊重。在“it is＋adj.＋to do...”句型中，it是形式主语，动词不定式(短语)作真正的主语，故填to learn。
7．tables 解析：考查名词单复数。句意：如果我正在人超级多的一天招待顾客，且真的需要做很多件不同的事情，我可能会因不得不等待在点餐时纠结不已的人而感到心烦意乱。wait tables是固定短语，意为“招待顾客”。故填tables。
8．needed 解析：考查动词的时态。句意见上一题解析。根据并列连词and可知，前后时态应该一致，故填过去式needed。
9．possibility 解析：考查词性转换。句意：也存在这样的可能性，有些烦恼不是真的烦恼。定冠词the后接名词形式，且根据谓语动词exists可知，应填形容词possible的名词形式possibility。
10．but/yet 解析：考查连词。句意：听非母语的讲话者说话时，我可能紧皱着眉头，但那是因为我在聚精会神地努力去听懂他。根据句意可知，前后文是转折关系。故填but/yet。

Recently several hot TV programs have enjoyed great popularity among Chinese, such as Chinese Poetry Competition and The Reader, which will be of great benefit to foreign learners. Besides watching these programs, I also strongly advise you to read some historical books so as to gain a better understanding of China, since China boasts a long－standing history.
