Answer 1

【答案】Keeping；less；gradually；finding；Second；that；suggestion；beats；to；a
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了通过写日记的方式来锻炼英语写作能力的好处与困难。
（1）考查动名词。动名词作主语，在动词的基础上加ing使该动词或动词短语，有名词的各种特征，可作名词灵活使用。故填Keeping。
（2）考查形容词。根据shorter与and可知，该句表示对比关系，所以应该用比较级，所以横线处应该用形容词的比较级形式。故填less。
（3）考查副词。 Gradually放在句首作副词表示“渐渐地”。故填gradually。
（4）考查动名词。have difficulty (in) doing固定短语，“做某事有困难”，故填finding。
（5）考查数词。根据前面的“first”可知本句在阐述第二点，故填Second。
（6）考查名词性从句。“it is extremely hard for us to put them into English properly”为名词性从句，一般由 that引导，that只起连接作用。故填that。
（7）考查名词。 根据“In my opinion”可知作者在给出观点，my为形容词，修饰名词，后接is故为单数形式。故填suggestion。
（8）考查时态。whenever引导状语从句，从句的时态为一般现在时，前后时态一致。故填beats。
（9）考查固定短语。refer to固定短语，“查询”，故填to。
（10）考查冠词。keep a diary固定短语，“做笔记”，故填a。
