答案与解析：
1.D) well是副词，good是形容词，所以A)不可。与后面相比较的doesn t work at all相关的是，此处B)、C)形成不了关联。
2.A) 此句的意思是你一直进行尝试，直到找到适合自己的学习方法。因而此处的连词要表达 直到 的意思。
3.B) 线索是空格后的else，两个词连起来表示 (除了你自己)，别的任何人都不能 。
4.D) work常用于抽象的意义，表示起作用的意思。请参照第一句中的动词。
5.A) get behind等都表示落后的意思，根据上下文，显然是说，我们在学习上是不要落后。
6. C) 此处要求填一个形容词，A)可排除。又根据上下文，可以理解出这句话的意思应该是：学习这个困难，一开始的时候是非常难的，而当你想在一周内完成三周的事情时则变得几乎是不可能的。这时谈的是难度的问题，因此选其它的答案是不合适的。如果直接解此题有困难，可以先做后面的题。
7.C) 根据从句中的意思来判断本题的答案。不管78选哪个答案，我们都知道是要在一周内做三周的事，毫无疑问，应当说这是几乎不可能的。
8.C) 表面考的是所有格的用法，实际上考的是名词的数。三周肯定是复数，week必须是复数形式;work是不可数名词。答案就一目了然了。
9. A) 本题考查的是篇章词汇。解题也有两种方法。第一种方法从篇章的角度着手，承接上面一段，说的是学习的困难，在这里显然是说 即使 是读得最快的人也有困难，选A)顺理成章。第二种方法从句法着手。这是一个简单句，显然不能填连词和介词，C)、D)明显错误。单就本句来说，选almost也是不能的。
10.B) have troubling后要求接动名词。
11.A) turn in 的意思是 交上去，上交 ，其它的选项是：turn up 出现， turn out出来;结果是，given in 让步。
12.D) 此处表示 过晚 之意，用too。
13.C) 还记得常说的not at all 吗?
14.D) 这一句及其下一句是说因为你在别的科花的时间太多而在另一科落后，前者不是后者的理由。所以此处要选表示 借口、理由 意思的词，即是excuse。
15.A) 表示笼统的 有用 的动词是help。
16.A) at the expense of的意思是 以 为代价 。
17.A) 注意后面的介词to，所以这是一个固定搭配。
18.B) 想一想 What is the reason that 这个句型吧。
19.C) 前面所说的明显是一种诱惑，所以要选temptation。
20.C) 前面说的是上什么什么课的事，所以选class。
