解析:
【分析】
先通读短文理解主旨,再逐个分析空格:结合语境判断时态、语态,根据词性要求确定单词形式,依据固定搭配和逻辑关系选择合适词汇,最终填入符合语法和语义的正确形式。
【解析】
1. 考查被动语态与一般过去时:主语I与动词touch是被动关系,结合前文became可知时态为一般过去时,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”,主语是I,需用反身代词myself。
3. 考查副词:修饰动词hold需用副词,correct的副词形式是correctly。
4. 考查逻辑副词:前文说起初觉得书法难,后文说取得进步,是转折关系,且有逗号隔开,故填However。
5. 考查现在完成时:since引导时间状语从句时,主句用现在完成时,learn的过去分词为learned/learnt,故填have learned/have learnt。
6. 考查介词:此处表示“作为中国传统文化的瑰宝”,表“作为”用介词As。
7. 考查冠词:skill是可数名词单数,此处表泛指“一个实用技能”,practical以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a。
8. 考查名词复数:one of后接可数名词复数,hobby的复数形式是hobbies。
9. 考查形容词:be proud to do是固定搭配,意为“自豪做某事”,故填形容词proud。
10. 考查动名词:enjoy doing sth是固定搭配,stick的动名词形式是sticking。
