Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lily who loved to read books. She dreamed of becoming a writer one day, but she had trouble with her writing. Her stories were often messy and hard to understand. Every time she tried to write, she would sit in front of her notebook for hours, looking at the blank page and feeling like she would never be able to come up with good ideas.

One day, Lily’s teacher gave her some advice. “The key to good writing is practice,” the teacher said. “Keep trying, and you will get better.” She took the advice to heart. She started writing every day, even if it was just a few sentences. She also read more books to learn from other writers carefully, studying how they crafted (创作) their stories and characters.
Slowly, Lily’s writing improved. Her stories became clearer and more interesting. She began to experiment with different styles. She even won a school writing competition! The joy and pride she felt in that moment were hard to describe. Lily realized that persistence (坚持) and hard work were the secrets to success.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了上个月和朋友们一起去黄石国家公园游玩的经历,描绘了深邃清澈的湖泊、巨大的瀑布以及壮丽的山顶风光,表达了对大自然奇迹的赞叹之情。
1. 句意:我非常热爱大自然。此处需要一个名词,在句中作动词“love”的宾语。因为后文详细描述了作者去黄石国家公园看湖泊、看瀑布和爬山的经历,这说明作者热爱自然景观,所以选择nature。故填nature。
2. 句意:上个月,我和朋友们去参观了黄石国家公园。此处需要一个动词,在句中作目的状语。因为后文宾语为“the Yellowstone National Park”,去国家公园的目的通常是游览参观,所以选择visit。因为固定结构“go to do sth.”不定式符号to后需接动词原形。故填visit。
3. 句意:我们刚到的时候,看到了一个巨大的湖泊。此处需要一个形容词,在句中作定语修饰名词“lake”。因为黄石公园以广阔的湖泊闻名,a huge lake“一个巨大的湖泊”是描写此类自然风景时非常地道的搭配,表示湖面极其宽广,所以选择huge。故填huge。
4. 句意:湖水清澈见底,我们能看到湖底的石头。此处需要一个形容词,在句中作表语。因为后文提到“that we could see the stones at the bottom”,能一眼看透水底说明水质非常清澈,所以选择clear。因为固定句型“so…that…”中so后需接形容词或副词原级。故填clear。
5. 句意:瀑布很深,水声震耳欲聋。此处需要一个形容词,在句中作表语。因为后文提到巨大的水声以及让人感到渺小,用以形容瀑布的落差极深或峡谷的深邃,给人带来强烈的压迫感与震撼,所以选择deep“深的”。故填deep。
6. 句意:站在它面前时,我们感觉自己很渺小。此处需要一个动词,在句中作时间状语从句的谓语。因为语境表达的是站立在瀑布前面仰望,所以选择stand。因为主句谓语“felt”提示这是一般过去时的语境,从句时态需保持一致,stand的过去式为不规则变化。故填stood。
7. 句意:第二天,我们去爬了山。此处需要一个动词,在句中作谓语。因为后文宾语为“a mountain”(一座山),表示登山运动的固定搭配为“climb a mountain”,所以选择climb。因为通篇讲述的是上个月发生的旅行经历,动词应用一般过去时。故填climbed。
8. 句意:上山的路上,我们听到一些鸟儿在树上歌唱。此处需要一个动词,在句中作谓语。因为后文接有宾语及宾语补足语“some birds singing”,表示通过耳朵察觉到鸟儿的声音,符合结构“hear sb./sth.doing sth.”,所以选择hear。因为动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时。故填heard。
9. 句意:到达山顶时,景色令人惊叹。此处需要一个形容词,在句中作表语。因为前文提到成功登顶,且后文描述能将四周的森林、湖泊和河流尽收眼底,说明视野极佳、景色绝美,所以选择amazing。故填amazing。
10. 句意:我们都认为这是大自然的一大奇观。此处需要一个名词,在句中作表语。因为前文描绘了公园内众多震撼人心的宏伟景观,且“a wonder of nature”是常用固定搭配,意为“大自然的奇迹”,所以选择wonder。因为空前有不定冠词“a”,需填入单数名词。故填wonder。
