语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几位英语学习者遇到的一些问题。

1．Whomaysay,“Igotobedlatelastnight”？

A．Pablo. B．MariaLuisa.

C．LiPing. D．Yoshi.

解析：选A推理推断题。这句话中的时态不对，应当是过去时。由其次段中的Idontusethepasttense及其后的例子可知，Pablo不会运用时态，所以可能是Pablo所说。

2．WhatwouldbethebestadviceforMariaLuisa?

A．Trytohaveawidevocabulary.

B．Developagoodknowledgeofgrammar.

C．ReadasmanyEnglishbooksaspossible.

D．MakefriendswithEnglish-speakingpeople.

解析：选D推理推断题。由第三段内容可知MariaLuisa没有讲英语的环境来练习英语，所以最好的建议应当是和讲英语的人交挚友。

3．WhydopeoplefindithardtounderstandLiPingsEnglish?

A．Shecantpronouncewords
