了非凡的人每天做的一些小事。

话你的决策可能会引发批评，但是你却得到了提高的机会。”可知，本

要赞扬”相得益彰。故选D。

让雇员在很长时间内都会感觉良好。“，可知，赘美能对他们的生活产

生积极的影响，顺承上文，符合语境。故选Fo

4.选A。根据上文“becausetheymightjustsay”可知别人可能以为你只

是说说，因此推断本处为“注意要具体一点”，下文举例说明"Ihadthe

figuredawaytomakeitwork.早晨我也碰到这个咖啡机出现过同样的

问题。我觉得我想到了一个办法能把它修好“，前后连贯，符合语境。

【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章介绍了用英语记日记的好

处，有哪些困难，并给出建议。

l.toimproveo考查动词不定式。句意：用英语记日记是提高英语写作

能力的有效方法之一。此处是动词不定式作后置定语，故为toimproveo

2.takeso考查时态。句意：与其他写作形式相比，它更短，更省时。

句子用一般现在时，主语是it,第三人称单数形式，故为takes。

3.Ifo考查状语从句。句意：如果我们不断练习，我们会逐渐学会如何

用英语表达自己。此处是if引导的条件状语从句，故为If。

4.certainlyo考查副词。句意：用英语记日记，我们肯定会遇到很多困

难。副词修饰动词，故为certainlyo

5.difficultieso考查名词的数。由空前的many可知，这里需用名词的

复数形式。故为difficultieso

6.ito考查代词。句意：首先，经常发生的是，我们很难找到合适的词

和短语来表达我们的思想。ithappensthat...中it是形式主语，真正的

主语是that引导的从句。故为it。

困难。故为finding。

助。turnt。sb.forhelp向某人求助，故为to。

lO.theo考查定冠词。句意：总之，我认为用英语记日记对发展我们

的写作技能是很有用的。此处特指“写作技能的发展"，故为the。
