文章大意：本文講寫信在現(xiàn)今世界看起來已經(jīng)過時了，然而在中國上海傅雷中學，學生們被教育和父母互通信件。文中詳細列舉了14歲的魏康晨及其父母的例子，說明了寫信能表達自己內(nèi)心深處的想法，改善自己的家庭關系。

【1】句意：當今世界，寫信似乎是一種過時的交流方式，但是在中國，人們正在努力幫助這種方式再次變得流行。

結(jié)合題干中“____ are being made to …”及備選詞可推出此處用effort的復數(shù)形式efforts作主語，構(gòu)成短語make efforts to do sth.表示“努力做某事”。故答案為efforts。

【2】句意：14歲的魏康晨三月份給他的父母寫了第一封信，這個信是家庭作業(yè)的一部分，自此之后他和父母之間難以相處的關系得到了改善。

結(jié)合題干中“his ____ letter”及備選詞可推出要用one的序數(shù)詞first表示“第一”，在句中修飾letter。故答案為first。

【3】句意：魏過去常常為他的害羞與他的父母爭吵。

根據(jù)下文“They advised him to communicate with other people more often”可推出魏很害羞，結(jié)合備選詞可知his后接shy的名詞形式“shyness”表示“害羞”。故答案為shyness。

【4】句意：他們建議他更多地和別人交流，

但是魏覺得自己沒有社交關系問題。根據(jù)句意“他們建議他更多地和別人交流，___魏覺得自己沒有社交關系問題”可知父母覺得害羞是個問題，而魏不這么認為，結(jié)合備選詞可知要用but表示“但是”，在句中表轉(zhuǎn)折。故答案為but。

【5】句意：“我在信里表達了我內(nèi)心深處的感受，希望我父母能接受我的性格，而不是把我推進一個角落，并希望他們能花費更多時間和我在一起，”他說。

根據(jù)空后“my parents would accept my personality instead of pushing me into a corner, and that they would spend more time with me”可知空后都是魏康晨內(nèi)心的希望，結(jié)合備選詞可知要用hope表示“希望”；主語“I”與動詞hope之間是主動關系，此處用現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語。故答案為hoping。

【6】句意：魏的父母在讀過信之后和他討論了這種情況。

結(jié)合句意“魏的父母在讀過信之后和他____這種情況”及備選詞可推出用discuss表示“討論”；再由上下文可知用一般過去時，discuss的過去式是discussed。故答案為discussed。

【7】句意：這封信拉近父母和孩子之間的差距變得更容易了。

結(jié)合句意“這封信拉近父母和孩子之間的差距變得____了”及備選詞可知要用easy表示“容易的”；much后接形容詞比較級。故答案為easier。

【8】句意：在魏和其他1456名青少年所在的上海傅雷中學，寫信已經(jīng)被保持了10年。

結(jié)合句意“在魏和其他1456名青少年所在的上海傅雷中學，寫信已經(jīng)被____了10年”及備選詞可知要用keep表示“保持”；結(jié)合題干中“has been ____ for 10 years”可知此處用現(xiàn)在完成時，其結(jié)構(gòu)為has been done，keep的過去分詞是kept。故答案為kept。

【9】句意：在課上，學生讀《傅雷家書》這本書，書中包含傅雷和他妻子寫給他們的長子傅聰?shù)男偶��?/span>

結(jié)合題干中“Fu and his wife”及備選詞可知此處要用they的形容詞性物主代詞形式their，表示“他們的”，修飾空后的“eldest son”。故答案為their。

【10】句意：這些課程幫助學生們更好地理解家庭關系，并用高效的交流方式建立強大、健康的家庭。

根據(jù)題干中“help to build strong, healthy families _____ efficient ways of communication”可推出此處是說“用高效的交流方式來幫立強大、健康的家庭”，結(jié)合備選詞可知要用with表示“用”。故答案為with。
