语篇解读:文章介绍了几种有助于快速进入睡眠的方法。
1.that 设空处引导同位语从句,对thought进行解释说明,所填词在从句中不作成分且语义完整,故用that。
2.harder 本句为“the+比较级 ..., the+比较级 ...”结构,故填harder。 3.an play an important part“起重要作用,扮演重要角色”。
4.especially 修饰介词短语before going to bed应用副词形式,故填especially。 5.to fall 在句型“make it+adj.(difficult, easy etc.)+for sb.+to do sth.”中,it为形式宾语,真正的宾语为后面的不定式短语。
6.fixed 设空处作定语修饰time,故应用形容词形式。fixed“固定的,不变的”,符合语境。
7.following 句意:一旦你开始这样做的话,就会逐渐发现自己在9点的时候就觉得困了。follow与逻辑主语you是主动关系,故应填现在分词following。
8.sleepy feel 为系动词,后接形容词作表语。sleepy“困的”,符合语境。
9.where 设空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词the room,并在从句中作地点状语,故填关系副词where。
10.it 在句式结构“find it difficult to do sth.”中,it为形式宾语,真正的宾语为后面的不定式短语。

1.known 空前无主语,故填非谓语动词。be known as“作为……而知名”,故填known。 2.a 年画是中国民间文化中的一种独特的艺术形式。此处表示泛指,故填不定冠词。unique的发音不是以元音音素开头的,故用a。
