【解析】

这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了学习语言要注意的四件事。首先，我们必须能听懂这门语言；其次，我们必须要有自信地说这种语言；再次，我们必须要读这种语言；最后，我们还要会写这种语言。

1.考查代词。句意：首先，当我们听到语言时，我们必须理解它。根据主句中出现的the language可以判断从句中hear的宾语是上文出现的language一词，故用it来代替。

2.考查序数词。句意：第三，我们必须能够读这种语言，第四，我们必须能够写这种语言。根据上文出现的Firstly，Secondly，等内容可以判断此处是指第三项内容，故填Thirdly。

3.考查介词。句意：语言学习没有捷径可走。根据句意可知此处指在语言学习方面没有通向成功的捷径，"在哪方面成功"应该用介词in，故填in。

4.考查冠词。句意：良好的记忆力是很有帮助的，但仅仅记住语法书上的规则是不够的。memory指"好的记忆力"时，是可数名词，用不定冠词a表示泛指。故填A。

5.考查非谓语动词。句意同上。此处是it is+adj+to do 结构，在句中it是形式主语，不定式to memorize是真正的主语。故填to memorize。

6.考查物主代词。句意：背诵一长串单词及其意义，查字典等等是没有多大用处的。meanings为名词需要形容词修饰，故填形容词性物主代词，故填their。

7.考查连词。句意：如果我们只满足于记住几条规则，那我们就不是真正在学习这门语言。根据句意可知前后句之间是一种假设关系，用连词If引导条件状语从句。故填If。

8.考查名词。句意：对于那些正在学习一门新语言的人来说，“通过使用来学习”是一个很好的建议。介词of后面应该用名词作介词的宾语，故填advice。

9.考查定语从句连接词。句意同上。分析句子结构可知those后面是一个定语从句，从句缺少主语，先行词those应该是those people，故用关系代词who。故填who。

10.考查非谓语动词。句意：只要有机会，我们就必须练习说和写这种语言。and连接并列成分，根据前后一致的原则可知空格处应该与speaking形式保持一致，故填writing。
