50、烦/困难”，是固定搭配。42properly考查副词。修饰动词短语put.into应用副词。43suggestion考查名词。空前有形容词性物主代词，所以要填名词suggestion；而且由is可知要用单数形式。44troubles考查时态和主谓一致。结合全文的基本时态可知，应用一般现在时；又因空处主语为something，故填troubles。45of考查介词。“be of名词”是固定用法，其意义相当于该名词的同根形容词；be of great use相当于be greatly useful。. 写作(满分25分)第一节应用文写作(满分15分)假设你叫李华，前两天你收到英国笔友Henry的来
