Question

2．Pinyin is a useful tool，which  （61）is taught（teach） in China to school kids．It is not merely used by westerners like us．It has proved to be a useful tool for Chinese people （62）themselves（they） to learn standard pronunciation in their early education．
The first step is to learn how （63）to pronounce（pronounce） each letter in pinyin correctly and the meaning of the tone markers．Then you have to do （64）drills（drill） as many as you can．Turn that into a game．It can be  （65）more（much） fun than you would expect．Start（66）withsingle syllables and do that a lot and then syllable （音节）pairs．Slowly move on to larger groups．Understand the initial，final and the tones．
But most importantly，（67）what  you need is good feedback．You'd better have someone that can correct your mistakes immediately．
Find a native Chinese，（68）whose pronunciation is quite perfect to correct you．If you take Chinese classes，the teacher will （69）probably（probable） have you do exercises every class．Do this very seriously．
If you are self-studying，try to meet native Chinese people and ask them to give you some feedback．
Otherwise，try to be self-critical and listen very carefully．Good（70）listening（listen） is more than 50% of 70．it takes to pronounce correctly．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要介绍了一些西方人如何学好汉语拼音的方法．

解答 61．is taught 考查动词时态和语态．分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，先行词tool与teach之间是动宾关系，用一般现在时的被动语态，且主语是单数，助动词用is．
62．themselves 考查反身代词．themselves指代Chinese people，即：中国人自己．
63．to pronounce 考查动词不定式．how to pronounce each letter in pinyin correctly and the meaning of the tone markers作know的宾语，即how to do sth．结构作宾语．
64．drills 考查名词复数．根据下文as many as you can，drills要用复数形式，do drills意为"演练"．
65．more 考查形容词比较级．根据句中than，要用形容词比较级．
66．with 考查介词．start with意为"以…开始"，是固定搭配．
67．what 考查连词．need是及物动词，缺少宾语，用what作其宾语，同时引导主语从句．
68．whose 考查定语从句．分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，先行词a native Chinese在从句中作定语，用关系代词whose．
69．probably 考查形容词．动词have要用副词修饰，形容词probable的副词是probably．
70．listening 考查动名词．分析句子结构，缺少主语，用动名词listening作主语．
