D)unusualL)easyE)painfulM)tellF)normalN)wrongG)helpsO)disorderH)requires

48、[SI]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：本空格的形容词修饰名词。形容词选项中difficult同语修饰，不均成

干扰项。而normal和painful最有可能构成干扰项，但通过下文可知书写障碍是一

种神经性紊乱，非同寻常，故unusual为最佳选项。

49、[S2]

标准答案：I

知识点解析：本文的中心是讨论书写困难，且论述了有关的现象，上下文也有呼

应C

50、(S3)

标准答案：L

知识点解析：此处应填形容词。第二段意思说书写需此种和彼种技能，可以推测并

非易事。故选easy,而填normal则变成了非正常的技巧，显然不选。

51、[S4]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：此处为动词不定式结构，用动词原形。填expressideas是“表达见解”

的意思，此处是指“在脑海里组织和表达思想的能力”。lell则无此意。

52、[S5]

标准答案：H

知识点解析：本空格填动词，根据句子逻辑进行推理，较为简单。上句出现了

requires,而下句和上句是并列结构，自然填此答案。

53、[S6]

标准答案：N

知识点解析：本段讲述书写障碍的种种表现，前句说书写字大小不一，间隔杂乱不

堪。下文肯定还是不正常的现象，又知大写字母一般放在句首，可推测可能放错位

置。

54、[S7]

标准答案：j

知识点解析：本空格应承名词。前几句都是说书写障碍的表现，后面则是某某与此

有关，可知thedisorder是指书写障碍，可知空格处所指并非书写障碍，故不选

writingo

55、[S8]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：此空格填形容词。本句的后半部分说书写障碍则更严重，可知前半部

分所指不太严重，除了poor,余下的形容词不符此意。

56、[S9]

标准答案：O

知识点解析：前面提到书写是某种紊乱，故可推知应填disorder。

57、[S10]

标准答案：E

知识点。析：书写障碍既然是神经性紊乱，故在书写的时候很可能感到身体上的疼

痛。

一笔带过，D项在第二段第一句中也提到，但并不是所要讨论的重点，故不对，因

此，选C。
