文章大意
本文讨论语言学习软件的用处。如果想要精通外语，每天都必须花上一到两个小时坚持学习。对于繁忙的上班族而言，这无疑是一种不切实际的要求。值得庆幸的是，现在市场上出现了很多适合外语学习的电脑学习软件，帮助学生攻克读写难关，并且这些软件的实际操作也相当简单。
答案详解
1．exposed∧to词汇错误。本题考查的是be exposed to sth，的固定搭配，to不可以省略。表示“接触某事或某人“。
2．work∧around词汇错误。work在句中搭配的宾语是busy schedules，由于work是不及物动词，故work后接宾语必须要加介词，表示“围绕繁忙的工作进程工作”，需加介词around。
3．developingdevelop词汇错误。help (to) do sth是固定用法，表示“帮助做某事”，只有在否定形式can't help doing sth时，help后面才接动名词形式，表示“情不自禁做某事“。此处表示“电脑软件程序可帮助开发外语阅读能力”，应该把developing改成develop。
4．ofto词忙错误。本题考查的是provide sth. to do sth的用法。句中的test一词既可以作名词也可作动词，此题所在短语含义应为“提供阅读练习和测验来检验理解程度“，所从test在句中为动词。因此，of应改为to。
5．andand语法错误。此处分词结构followed by more advanced phrases作独立成分，修饰前面的主句，故不需加and。
6．ifwhen语法错误。根据下文出现的and then...可知此处表示时间，与and then构成时间先后顺序，应该把if改成when。根据主句的allow you...也可知if不对，因为若条件状语从句为一般现在时，主句一般用将来时，故应该是will allow you...才对。
7．asunlike语篇错误。此处讲“正式课堂考试温习的是一整个星期的功课”，接着却讲“电脑软件给阅读理解提供即时改正”，强调的是正式课堂考试与电脑软件的不同，故应把as改成unlike。
8．fairfairly语法错误。fair可以作名词、副词和形容词，此处赦在形容词easy前，应该用副词来修饰。fair作副词表示“公平地，公正地”。放在此处不符合语义。故改为以-ly结尾的副词fairly，意为”相当”，整句的意思是“学会如何在电脑上使用浯言学习程序来书写是相当简单的”。
9．provideproviding语法错误。provide在这里不是和review并列，而是和havmg a teacher review his writing构成并列，所以应该用providing形式。
10．forso语篇错误。“学生可以看到错误出现在什么地方”是“电脑程序自动修正写作练习”的结果，此处是前因后果。故应该用so来引出结果。
