使句,再根据本段的主要内容以及空后一句中的setagoalforyourself的词语复

现得出答案，故选A。

groupdiscussions可知，这些都是与writingtask相关的，故选E。

4.选F本空前说在咖啡壶上面挂上便利贴，写上你希望记住的一个特定单

词的定义，这样你就可以一边煮咖啡一边学习它了，空后又说即使你在看电视或

做其他活动，也要随身携带一些闪存卡，学习你的新单词，由此可知，此处介绍

的也是扩大词汇量的一种方式，故选F。

5.选C空后一句是对所填句子的补充解释，理解后一句可知，如果一个

单词可以减少一个句子中的单词数量，那么它对你的词汇量是一个有用的补充，

故选C。
