②根据本空前The first thing you need to do is avoid distractions(分散注意力的事物) while studying.可知,你需要做的第一件事就是避开学习时分散注意力的事物,故C项(这意味着去一个能给你带来平静的地方。)符合语境。
③根据本空前As a general rule, assign(分配) at least one hour to each subject.可知,每个科目至少安排一小时,故F项(如果你有一个综合性的科目,你需要把它分成更小的部分。)符合语境。
④根据本空前you should arrange study breaks可知,你应该安排学习时的休息时间,故A项(每次休息时间约为每两个小时15分钟。)符合语境。
⑤根据本空后Just in case...in order.可知,如果你认为你没有足够的时间完成所有的科目或以防你用光学习时间,你应当有序地学习。故B项(学会按照重要性安排科目。)符合语境。
四、答案:①an ②satisfied ③less ④meant ⑤subjects ⑥challenging ⑦encouragement ⑧to ⑨that ⑩are given
解析:①句意为:去英国的高中学习一年对我来说是一次难忘的经历。此处泛指一次难忘的经历,应用不定冠词限定;unforgettable的发音以元音音素开头,故填an。
②句意为:刚到英国时,了解到(每天)上课的时间短了很多以及作业少了很多,我很满意。设空处作was的表语,修饰主语I,表示"满意的",故填satisfied。
③句意见上一题解析。根据设空处前的much shorter可知,此处应用比较级形式。little 的比较级形式为less。
④句意为:但是后来我认识到拿高分还是很难的,这就意味着要更高效地学习。设空处在句中作谓语,此处描述的是过去的事情,应用一般过去时,故填meant。
⑤句意为:因此,我努力地学习了所有课程,尽管刚开始的时候我发现适应全英文的环境极具挑战性。subject为可数名词,其前有all the修饰,应用复数形式。故填subjects。
⑥句意见上一题解析。此处为"find +宾语+宾补"结构,根据句意可知,此处应用形容词,challenging意为"富于挑战性的"。
⑦句意为:幸运的是,在英语老师的鼓励与帮助下,我在短时间内进步了很多。设空处在句中作介词with的宾语,其前有名词所有格teacher's 修饰,应用名词形式,故填encouragement。
⑧句意为:多亏了所有的同学和老师,我很享受在那里的生活。thanks to为固定搭配,意为"多亏了",故填to。
⑨句意为:似乎唯一缺少的东西就是中餐,因为我不太喜欢英国的甜食。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导定语从句,先行词为thing,前有The only修饰,关系词在从句中作主语,故填that。
⑩句意为:总之,如果你们有机会的话,我强烈推荐你们去那里体验这种不一样的生活。设空处为从句的谓语,主语you与give之间是被动关系,且是在if引导的条件状语从句中,应用一般现在时,故填are given。
