39、。根据空前的a problem和空后的the good news可知，前后两句是转折关系。故填However。2is考查主谓一致。句子的主语是A healthy diet along with regular exercise，谓语动词应与along with前面的A healthy diet保持数的一致，故填is。3useless考查词性转换。be动词后接形容词作表语，根据句意可知，此处表示“无用的”，故填useless。4skipping考查非谓语动词。短语fool sb into doing .意为“哄骗某人做”，此处为被动形式sb be fooled into doing .“某人被哄
40、骗做”，into是介词，后接动名词作宾语。故填skipping。5that考查定语从句。先行词是不定代词something，且关系词在从句中作主语，需用关系代词that引导定语从句。6peaceful考查词性转换。空后的and是并列连词，连接两个并列成分，根据后面的形容词relaxed可知，此处应用peace的形容词形式，故填peaceful。7to concentrate考查非谓语动词。the ability to do .意为“做的能力”，ability后接不定式作定语，故填to concentrate。8for考查介词。prepare sb for .意为“让某人为做准备”，故填for。9loss考查词性转换。the _9_ of sleep在句中作主语，应用lose的名词形式，故填loss。10will look考查动词时态。在含有if引导的条件状语从句的主从复合句中，从句用一般现在时，主句用一般将来时。故填will look。
