36、 sth.为固定搭配，意为“当谈到，当说到”，其中的to为介词，所以后面用动词ing形式，要用changing，故答案为changing。8worse考查形容词的比较级。这里表达“设置根本实现不了的不切实际的目标会使他们感觉更差”，后面的even多修饰比较级；故答案为worse。9had tried/tried考查动词的时态。分析句子可知，本句的主语是Some of the students，而she studied是定语从句，所以空格处在句子中作谓语动词，根据后面的“and failed for 10 years”可知，可以用tried，也可用had tried，故填had tried/tr
37、ied。10were convinced考查动词的时态和语态。分析句子可知，本句的主语是they，convince是及物动词，在句中作谓语动词，Sb. be convinced that . 为固定搭配，意为“某人相信”，文中讲述过去的事，所以句子要用过去时，故答案为were convinced。.书面表达(2020南昌市重点中学高三年级段考试题)假设你叫李华，你听说即将来你校任职的外籍教师David需要一名学生助手，你想自荐做他的助手。请你用英文写一封自荐信，要点包括：1写信目的；2你作为助手的优势；3表达期待。注意：1.词数100左右；2可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。Dear David
