20、 themselves。3be improved考查动词的语态。句意：他们的外语水平会提高，找工作会更容易些。根据句意可知，此处主语 Their foreignlanguage skills 与 improve 之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，所以应使用被动语态。故填 be improved。4that/which考查定语从句。此处为定语从句，先行词是problems，指物，且关系词在从句中作主语。故填 that 或 which。5learning考查非谓语动词。spend time (in) doing sth“花费时间做某事”为固定搭配。故填 learning。6to live考查非谓语动词。learn to do sth“学习做某事”为固定搭配。故填 to live。7reports考查名词的单复数。根据空前的 are 可知，此处应使用名词复数。故填 reports。第 8页（共 9页）8and考查并列连词。句意：有很多报道说，中国留学生在国外陷入困境，最终放弃了。根据句意可知，设空前后句意存在并列关系。故填 and。9of考查介词。take care of“照顾”为固定搭配。故填of。10is考查动词的时态和主谓一致。本句主语 the cost ofstudying abroad 为单数形式，且句子描述的是客观事实，所以应使用一般现在时态。故填 is。第 9页（共 9页）
