【解析】

试题分析：

1.考查词义辨析。speak“说; 讲话”, 后常接语言名称; say“说”, 强调说话的内容; talk“谈话”; tell“告诉; 讲述”。由语境知强调说的内容, 故选B。

2. subjects指“别的一些课程”, 而the other subjects指“别的所有的课程”。由语境知表示“其他所有的课程”, 故选C。

3. real“真实的”; fact“事实”; wrong“错误的”。由语境知上文提到的内容也是学习的目的之一, 那是完全正确的, 故选A。

4. 如何”; where“哪里”; why“为什么”; what“什么”。该句起引起下文的作用, 而下文主要解释为什么要学习这些课程, 故选C。

5. 送孩子们去学校是为他们将来的工作和生活做好准备。prepare sb. for sth. 是固定搭配, 意思是“使某人为某事做好准备”。故选D。

6. one’s life是一个固定短语, 意思是“在某人的一生中”。

7. 从下文可以得知这并不是唯一的原因, only“唯一的”。故选B。

8. 教育不仅仅是学习知识。more than(doing)sth. “不仅仅……”。故选C。

9. 我们去学校的目的首先是学习如何学习。表示目的, 用动词不定式作目的状语, 故选B。

10. 他就总是能够成功”可排除B、D两项; 句中缺少宾语, 宾语从句要用陈述语序, 排除C项; “疑问词+不定式”可在句中作宾语, 故只有A项符合语境。

11. 故排除C、D两项。根据语境“因为无论什么时候他得做一件新的事情, 他将能很快地教会自己以最佳的方式去做”可知选B。

12. 没接受过教育的人……”可知此处表示“在另一方面”, 用短语“on the other hand”, 故选D。

13. 分析句子可知句中含有固定搭配either. . . or. . . “要么……要么……”。

14. teach作目的状语, 故选D。

15. reason“理由”; way“方法”; knowledge“知识”。由语境“学校不仅要教授学生知识, 还要教会学生学习的方法。”可知选C。
