12．Does this situation seem familiar to you？Your English is progressing well，the grammar is now familiar，the reading comprehension is no problem，and you are speaking quite fluently．（56）G
First of all，remember that you are not alone．Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language．The most important thing is to listen as often as possible．
（57）EThe Internet is really a useful tool for English students．You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia．com．The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station．
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis，you might still be frustrated （受阻）by limited understanding．（58）B
Here is some of the advice I give my students：
●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything．
●Stay relaxed when you do not understand，and try listening to the material for more times．
●（59）FDon't concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas．
●（60）C This method usually results in confusion．Translating leads to a kind of block in one's brain which sometimes doesn't allow us to understand anything at all!
By remaining calm，allowing yourself not to understand，and not to translate while listening，your brain is free to concentrate on the most important thing：understanding English in English．
A．Secondly，most people repeat themselves constantly．
B．What should you do？
C．Do not translate everything into your native language．
D．This situation leads to less---not more---understanding．
E．The next step is to find listening resources．
F．Listen for the general idea of the conversation．
G．But listening is still a problem．
分析 文章講述了在學習英語的時候遇到的最大一個問題是聽力，并介紹了幾種提高聽力的方法．
解答 GEBFC
56．G 細節題．題意 你的英語進步很大，語法也不錯，閱讀理解也很好，你也說得很流利，但你根本聽不懂當地人所說的話．根據下文First of all，remember that you are not alone．Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language，提到聽力是最重要的，所以進行轉折，故選G項．
57．E 細節題．根據第二段的First of all…可知，這段是列舉第一，接下來的這一段應該是The next step…故選E．
58．B 細節題．上文提到 一旦你開始在一定基礎上聽，你仍然可能理解不了．你應該如何做呢，根據下文，Here is some of the advice I give my students這有一些建議，故應是不知道如何做了，故選B 項．
59．F 細節題．根據下文提到，不要集中在細節上，要集中在細節上，the main ideas與r the general idea of the conversation．是同義詞，故選F項，聽大概意思．
60．C 細節題．根據后面的Translating leads to a kind of block in one's brain…提到的是關于翻譯的問題，對應了選項里的translate everything into…故選C．
