38、writing skills.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了用英语记日记是提高英语写作能力的有效方法之一。1.to improve考查非谓语动词。句意：用英语记日记是提高英语写作能力的有效方法之一。way是名词，意为“方法、方式”，常用搭配是a way to do sth，意为“一种做某事的方法”，所以此处用动词不定式作后置定语。故填to improve。2.less考查形容词的比较级。句意：与其他形式的写作相比，它更简短并且花费更少的时间。根据“Compared with other forms of writing”可知，这里表示比较，应使用形容词little的比较级less。
39、故填less。3.difficulties考查名词复数。句意：在用英语记日记中，我们当然会碰到许多困难。该空为against的宾语，且被many修饰，所以应填名词的复数形式，故填difficulties。4.(in) finding考查固定搭配。句意：首先，我们找不到合适的单词和短语来表达我们的思想，这样的事情经常发生。have trouble (in) doing sth是固定搭配，意为“做某事有困难”，故填(in) finding。5.are考查主谓一致。句意：第二，在汉语中有很多表达事情的习惯用法。分析句子结构可知，该句为there be句型，该空为谓语，因为描述的是客观情况，所以用一般
40、现在时，又因为ways为复数，故填are。6.properly考查副词。句意：并且对我们来说，把它们适当地翻译成英语十分困难。分析句子结构可知，该空修饰动词短语put . into .，应用副词形式，故填properly。7.concerned考查固定结构。句意：在我看来，我的建议是我们应该有个笔记本和汉英词典在手边。as far as I am concerned是固定结构，意为“在我看来；就我而言”，故填concerned。8.that考查名词性从句。分析句子可知，空后为表语从句，因为从句“we should always have a notebook and a ChineseEnglish dictionary within easy reach”结构和语意均完整，所以此处用只起连接作用的that。故填that。9.for考查介词。句意：如果必要的话，我们可以向我们的英语老师求助。本题考查固定搭配ask . for help，意为“向求助”。故填for。10.the考查冠词。句意：总之，我认为用英语记笔记对于我们写作技巧的提高很有用。根据“of our writing skills”可知，该处特指我们写作能力的提高，故应使用定冠词the来修饰development。故填the。
