35、h.Under the help of him and my classmates, Ive made a great progress.I am very pleasing and Ill work even hard in future.答案与解析这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者学英语五年了，但是起初的时候遇到了很多的困难，后来在老师的帮助下，英语取得了很大的进步。1考查动词时态。根据句型：It is/has been时间段since一般过去时，“自从以来已经多久了”可知since后用一般过去时，故beginbegan。2考查副词。短语get along well with“与相处融洽”，故go
36、odwell。3考查介词。句意：起初的时候我遇到很多的困难。可知此处应该使用介词短语at first“首先；起初”，故在first前加at。4考查连词。句意：我既不能很好地发英语单词的音，也记不住学过的单词。根据句意可知，此处表示两者的否定“既不也不”应用not.nor/neither.，故sonor或neither。5考查连接词。本句为宾语从句，关系词在从句中作动词said的宾语，意为“什么”，所以应使用关系代词what。故thatwhat。6考查祈使句。引号内的句子为祈使句，所以应该使用动词原形开头。故KeepingKeep。7考查介词。短语with the help of 意为“在的帮助下”，为固定用法。故UnderWith。8考查冠词。短语make great progress“取得巨大进展”中间没有冠词，故去掉a。9考查形容词。句意：我非常高兴。主语I为人，应用ed结尾的形容词修饰，故pleasingpleased。10考查形容词比较级。句意：将来我会更加努力学习。根据上文的程度副词以及句意可知应用形容词比较级，表示未来与现在状况的比较“更加努力”，故hardharder。
