35、.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。分析了听取他人的意见和建议的重要性。1commonly考查词性转换。修饰过去分词“used” 要用副词，故填commonly。2consideration考查固定搭配。take sth.into consideration 意为“考虑到某事”。3an考查冠词。此处可数名词“outsider”表泛指，且其发音以元音音素开头，故要用不定冠词an。4offering考查非谓语动词。此处用现在分词短语“offering a different way of going about the problem”作伴随状语。5on/about考查介词。此处用介词 on/abou
36、t 接在名词 advice 后，意为“关于”。6unable考查形容词。根据下文的“consequently made poor decisions”可知，Lily 不能够听从他人的意见，以至于经常做出一些差劲的决定，故填 unable。7helps/will help考查时态和主谓一致。“Asking for the opinions of others for personal or professional decisions”为动名词短语作主语，看作单数，且本句可表示一般情况，还可表示将来一种必然的趋势或倾向。故填 helps/will help。8what考查宾语从句。此处用 what 引导宾语从句，作介词 to 的宾语，且该引导词在从句中作介词 in 的宾语。9to keep 考查非谓语动词。be expected to do sth.意为“被期望去做某事”。10it 考查代词。此处用 it 作形式宾语，代替下文中的“to see the weakness in our own arguments”。
