答案

小题1:effective
小题2:Compared
小题3: less
小题4:If  
小题5:the 
小题6:it  
小题7:finding 
小题8:am concerned
小题9: of 
小题10:difficulties

解析

小题1:effective
【试题解析】横线后面是名词ways，所以应该使用形容词effective作为定语来修饰这个名词。
小题2:Compared  
【试题解析】固定搭配compared to/with…与…相比；句义：与其他形式的写作相比，日记更短，花费的时间更少。
小题3:less   
【试题解析】句义：与其他形式的写作相比，日记更短，花费的时间更少。这里的less与前面的shorter相同，都使用形容词的比较级。
小题4:If     
【试题解析】句义：如果我们坚持这种做法，慢慢地我们就会学会用英语来表达自己的想法。
小题5: difficulties  
【试题解析】横线前面是形容词many，可知横线上应该是该形容词修饰的名词，而且还应该使用复数形式，因为many“许多”，修饰可数名词复数形式。
小题6:it    
【试题解析】本句中是一个固定句式：It happens that…碰巧…；it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的that所引导的主语从句。
小题7:finding  
【试题解析】本句考察的是固定搭配:have trouble in doing sth做某事有困难；其中的in可以省略。
小题8:am concerned   
【试题解析】固定搭配：As far as sb be concerned据某人所知，在某人看来；句义：在我看来，我的建议是我们应该有笔记本和汉英字典。
小题9: of   
【试题解析】本题考察的是固定结构：of+名词=该名词转换的形容词。Of great use=useful有用的。
小题10:the   
【试题解析】横线后的名词development有介词短语of our writing skills修饰，说明表示特指，所以使用定冠词the。
