【分析】
本题为英语短文填空题,需结合语境、语法规则及固定搭配完成填空。解题思路:1. 通读全文,把握短文主旨(作者学习书法的经历与感悟);2. 逐个分析空格所在句子,明确所需词性、时态、语态等;3. 结合括号内提示词或上下文逻辑,确定正确的单词形式。例如第1空需判断被动语态及时态,第5空需结合since确定现在完成时,第10空需用动名词搭配enjoy。
【解析】
1. 考查一般过去时的被动语态。主语I与动词touch是被动关系,且前文时态为一般过去时,故填was touched。
2. 考查反身代词。句意为“我决定用同样的方式自己尝试”,此处需用反身代词myself表示“我自己”,故填myself。
3. 考查副词修饰动词。此处需用副词修饰动词hold,correct的副词形式为correctly,故填correctly。
4. 考查连词。前文提到学习书法有挑战,后文说取得进步,为转折关系,且空格后有逗号,故填However。
5. 考查现在完成时。since引导的时间状语从句,主句需用现在完成时,learn的过去分词为learnt,故填have learnt。
6. 考查介词。句意为“作为中国传统文化的瑰宝”,表示“作为”用介词As,故填As。
7. 考查不定冠词。此处泛指“一个实用技能”,practical以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a,填a。
8. 考查名词复数。one of后需接可数名词复数,hobby的复数形式为hobbies,故填hobbies。
9. 考查形容词。be proud to do sth是固定搭配,意为“做某事很自豪”,故填形容词proud。
10. 考查动名词。enjoy doing sth是固定搭配,意为“喜欢做某事”,stick的动名词形式为sticking,故填sticking。
【答案】
was touched, myself, correctly, However, have learnt, As, a, hobbies, proud, sticking

一般过去时被动语态、反身代词用法、副词修饰动词、现在完成时、固定搭配
