86、对方，所以有点困难。故选B。formal “正式的”； boring “乏味的”； official “官方的”。3D根据下文的内容可知，在教室里作者有不明白的事物时，老师会用英语解释，而在现实生活中室友不会说英语，所以，此处指教室学习和现实生活中学习英语是不同的，故选D项。different “不同的”； fluent “流利的”； obvious “明显的”。4C根据下文的“in English when I didnt understand”可知，此处表示当作者不理解时，老师们能用英语解释给作者。explain sth. to sb.“向某人解释某物”。故选C。5B根据第一段的内容可知，

87、作者与一位当地学校的老师一起生活，也就是她的室友。故选B。6A根据第三段中的“I had no what the Italian word for router”可知，此处指的是当作者不知道意大利语中的单词的时候，故选A。7B根据下文的“I try to mime (比画) the thing Im talking about”可知，当解释不起作用时，作者尽力比画着自己谈论的事情。work意为“奏效，起作用”，符合语境。故选B。8C根据下文的“my housemate where the router was so I could find the password for the WiFi”

88、可知，为了能找到WiFi的密码，所以作者问了室友路由器在哪里。故选C。9D根据下文的“so I tried to explain it several times”可知，作者尽力地解释了好几遍，所以此处表示作者不知道意大利语单词“路由器”怎么说。故选D。10C根据上文的“In the end, I called it the Internet box”可知，室友明白了作者的意思。故选C。keep “保持”； order “命令，订购”； explore “探索”。11B根据下文的“because I keep making many mistakes”可知，作者感到不好意思，故选B。12A虽然

89、作者很尴尬，因为作者总是犯错误，但是室友友好地纠正作者的错误并且告诉作者她做得很好。故选A。annoy “使恼火”； strike “打”； rescue “营救”。13A根据上文的“tells me that Im doing well”可知，作者感觉语言正在提高。故选A。improve “提高”； apply “申请”； fail “失败”。14D因为作者的室友是意大利人，不讲英语，所以作者除了讲意大利语外，别无选择。故选D。stress“强调”；host“主持”；live“居住，生活”；speak“说”。15D根据下文的“a real Italian”可知，作者希望自己讲得像一个真正的意大利人一样好。故选D。
