Answer 1

【答案】详见解析

【解析】

【1】effective 修饰名词ways用形容词。

【2】Compared compared with/to“与……相比”，是固定用法，常在句中作状语。

【3】less 根据前面的shorter判断填比较级less，表示“更短，花时间更少”。

【4】ourselves express oneself“表达自己的观点/感情等”，是固定短语，故填反身代词ourselves。

【5】the 从后面的secondly可以判断出这里要表示顺序，所以first前用定冠词。

【6】finding have trouble(in)doing sth.“做某事有麻烦/困难”，是固定短语。

【7】properly 修饰动词put...into...用副词，表示方式。

【8】suggestion 空格前面有形容词性物主代词，后面没有可以作宾语的成分，所以要填名词suggestion；而且由is可知要用单数形式。

【9】and 根据then判断，前后两个动作是递进关系，填and。

【10】of “be of＋名词”是固定用法，其意义相当于该名词的同根形容词；be of great use相当于be greatly useful。
