In keeping a diary in English, we 4 (definite) run up against many difficulties. In the first place, it often happens that we struggle 5 (find) exact words and phrases to express our mind. Secondly, there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for 6 (we) to put them into English properly.
My 7 (propose) is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something 8 (concern) us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then refer to our dictionary.

In short, I believe that it is 10 effective way to keep a diary in English for the development of our writing skills.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了用英语写日记这一方法对于提高英语写作能力的益处,以及在写日记过程中可能遇到的困难和解决办法。
1.考查定语从句。句意:用英语写日记是提高我们英语写作能力的有效方法之一。“_____ can improve our English writing ability”是限定性定语从句,修饰先行词ways,关系词将其代入从句中作主语,应使用关系代词which或that引导该从句。故填which或that。
2.考查形容词比较级。句意:与其他形式的写作相比,它更简短,花费的时间更少。“Compared with other forms of writing”和“and takes less time”可知,句中将用英语写日记与其他写作形式相比,用英语写日记更简短,花费时间更少,应使用形容词比较级shorter,作表语。故填shorter。
3.考查名词。句意:如果我们定期坚持这样做,渐渐地我们就会学会用英语来表达自己。on a regular basis是固定短语,意为“定期地”,其中名词basis作介词on的宾语。故填basis。
4.考查副词。句意:在用英语写日记的过程中,我们肯定会遇到许多困难。提示词修饰动词短语run up against,应使用副词definitely作状语,意为“肯定地”。故填definitely。
5.考查非谓语动词。句意:首先,我们常常很难找到确切的词和短语来表达我们的思想。struggle to do sth.是固定用法,意为“努力做某事,艰难地做某事”,用不定式to find作宾语。故填to find。
6.考查代词。句意:对我们来说,将它们正确地译成英语是极其困难的。提示词作介词for的宾语,应使用代词we的宾格形式us。故填us。
7.考查名词。句意:我的建议是我们应该随时准备一本笔记本和一本汉英词典。提示词作主语,应使用名词proposal,意为“建议”,由系动词is可知,主语是单数名词。故填proposal。
8.考查时态和主谓一致。句意:每当有事情困扰我们时,我们可以先把它记在笔记本上,然后再查字典。concern(涉及,使担心)作从句谓语动词,与主语something之间是主动关系,讲述客观事实,应使用一般现在时态,主语是不定代词something,谓语动词应使用单数形式。故填concerns。
9.考查非谓语动词。句意:若有必要,当对词典释义感到困惑时,我们也可以向英语老师求助。“(confuse) by the dictionary’s explanation”作状语,confuse(使困惑)用非谓语形式,与其逻辑主语we之间是被动关系,用过去分词confused表被动。故填confused。
10.考查冠词。句意:简而言之,我相信用英语写日记是提高我们写作技能的有效方法。可数名词way作表语,泛指“一种有效的方法”,应使用不定冠词修饰,又因effective发音以元音音素开头,不定冠词应用an。故填an。

Have you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble 1 (learn) English? I hadn’t, until one day my five-year-old son asked 2 there was ham in a hamburger. This got me thinking how English can be a crazy language 3 (learn).
For example, in our free time we can sculpt a sculpture and paint a painting, but we 4 a photo. And when we are traveling we say that we are in the car or the taxi, but 5 the train or bus!
If “hard” is the opposite of “soft”, why are “ 6 ” and “softly” not an opposing pair? If harmless actions are the opposite of harmful actions, why are shameless and 7 (shame) behaviors the same?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the 8 (creative) of the human race. That is why when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are 9 (visible). And that is why when I wind up my watch, it starts, but when I wind 10 this passage, it ends.

3.考查非谓语动词。句意:这让我开始思考,英语怎么会是一门学起来这么疯狂的语言。句中已有谓语动词can be,空处应用非谓语动词,修饰language,用不定式作后置定语,因language是learn的逻辑宾语,因此用主动表被动。故填to learn。
4. 考查动词。句意:例如,在我们的空闲时间,我们可以雕刻雕塑(用sculpt)和绘画(用paint),但我们拍照(用take)。结合句意,表示“拍照”用动词短语take a photo,陈述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语we是复数,take用原形。故填take。

7.考查形容词。句意:如果无害的(harmless)行为是有害的(harmful)行为的对立面,为什么无耻的(shameless)行为和可耻的行为(shameful)是一样的呢?修饰名词behaviors,表示“可耻的”用形容词shameful作定语。故填shameful。

9.考查形容词。句意:这就是为什么当星星out(出来)的时候,它们(星星)是看得见的,而当灯光out(熄灭)时候,它们(灯光)就看不见了。设空处接在be动词作表语,应用形容词,结合句意,visible的反义词invisible“看不见的”符合句意。故填invisible。

Although English is not as old as Chinese, 1 is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers 2 are from all over the world always make new words and we should be able to know where most words come from.
Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, 3 (especial) when they are not made of ham? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city 4 (call) Hamburg in Germany.
They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. Some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef. They had never seen such 5 strange way. They couldn’t help 6 (ask) the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “We came from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He made up 7 (he) mind to do something new. He cooked some round 8 (piece) of the beef like what the men from Hamburg ate and 9 (sell) it to quite a few countries around the world.
Whether this story is true or not, it is certainly 10 (interest).
【答案】
1.it 2.who/that 3.especially 4.called 5.a 6.asking 7.his 8.pieces 9.sold 10.interesting
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了英语单词“hamburgers”的来源。
1.考查代词。句意:虽然英语没有汉语那么古老,但是世界各地有许多人每天都在说英语。“Although English is not as old as Chinese,”是状语从句,“______is spoken by many people around the world every day.”是主句,空处在主句中做主语,此处应用it代指前面提到的English,故填it。
2.考查定语从句。句意:来自世界各地的英语使用者总是创造出新的词汇,而我们也应该能够了解大多数词汇的来源。定语从句修饰先行词English speakers,在从句作主语,指人。故填who/that。
3.考查副词。句意:你有没有想过为什么汉堡包被叫做汉堡包,尤其是当它们不是用火腿做的时候?此处应用副词修饰空后的句子,表示“尤其”应用especially,故填especially。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意:他们来自德国一个叫做汉堡的大城市。空处是非谓语动词做后置定语,修饰名词city,且动词call和city二者之间是被动关系,应用call的过去分词形式,故填called。
5.考查冠词。句意:他们从未见过如此奇怪的方式。空后的名词way是可数名词,且此处表示“一个奇怪的方法”应用冠词来修饰,strange发音不是以元音音素开头,应用a而非an,故填a。
6.考查固定搭配。句意:他们忍不住问德国人那是什么。Can’t help doing是固定搭配,表示“忍不住做某事”,所以应用asking,此处could是can的过去式,故填asking。
7.考查代词。句意:他下定决心要做些新的事情。make up one’s mind to do sth.是固定搭配,表示“下定决心做某事”,主语是he,所以此处应用形容词性物主代词his,表示“他的”,故填his。
8.考查可数名词单复数。句意:他煮了一些圆牛肉块,就像汉堡这个城市的人们所吃的那样,然后卖给世界上好几个国家。piece是可数名词,此处表示“块”,由前面的some可知,此处piece应用复数形式pieces,故填pieces。
9.考查时态。句意:他煮了一些圆牛肉块,就像汉堡这个城市的人们所吃的那样,然后卖给世界上好几个国家。连词and前后连接句子“He cooked some round_______(piece) of the beef like what the men from Hamburg ate”和句子“_______(sell) it to quite a few countries around the world.”,该空在and后面句子中做谓语,由and前面的句子和句意可知,句子描述的是过去发生的事,应用一般过去时,所以此处应用sell的过去式sold,故填sold。
10.考查形容词。句意:不管这个故事是不是真的,都很有趣。空处用形容词做表语,表示“有趣的”。应用形容词interesting,故填interesting。

3.考查副词。句意:每一种方言都有其特定的特征,反映了说话者的历史、文化和态度。修饰动词carries应用specific的副词形式specifically作状语,意为“特别地,独特地”。故填specifically。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意:这些方言通常基于地理、社会和贸易等因素,正在逐步发展。分析句子可知,these dialects are gradually developing为完整句子,且空前无其它连词,所以base应用非谓语动词形式,因其与逻辑主语these dialects之间为被动关系,be based on表示“基于”,所以应用其过去分词形式作状语。故填based。
5.考查非谓语动词。句意:随着全球交流的发展,理解和欣赏语言的多样性变得比以往任何时候都更加重要。此处为“with + 宾语 + 宾补”复合结构, grow与宾语communication之间为主动关系,所以应用其现在分词形式作宾语补足语。故填growing。
6.考查介词。句意:尽管教育技术取得了巨大进步,但扩大词汇量对许多学习者来说仍然是一个挑战。根据句意可知,前后句之间为转折关系,应用介词despite,表示“尽管”,后接名词短语,且位于句首,首字母需大写。故填Despite。
7.考查固定搭配。句意:这个挑战不仅指学习新单词,还包括理解它们的各种用法。not only...but (also)...为固定搭配,表示“不仅……而且……”,用于连接两个并列成分。故填but。
8.考查名词。句意:同样重要的要求之一是经常沉浸在阅读材料中。根据空前的one of the equally important可知,此处应用名词的复数形式,require的名词形式为requirement,其复数为requirements。故填requirements。
9.考查定语从句。句意:毕竟,词语不仅仅是符号,它们还反映了我们的思想和周围的世界。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词words,关系词在从句中作主语,应用which来引导。故填which。
10.考查动词语态。句意:世界变得越国际化和全球化,国家与文化之间的语言特征将越被共享。根据句意可知,share与主语language characteristics之间为被动关系,且空前有will,故此处应用be shared,构成一般将来时的被动语态。故填be shared。

Have you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble 1 (learn) English? I hadn’t, until one day my five-year-old son asked 2 there was ham in a hamburger. This got me thinking how English can be a crazy language 3 (learn).

If “hard” is the opposite of “soft”, why are “ 6 ” and “softly” not an opposing pair? If harmless actions are the opposite of harmful actions, why are shameless and 7 (shame) behaviors the same?
