5、【解题导语】 本文主要讲述了帮助他人忘掉不快乐的记忆的四条建议。1hopefully 解析：考查副词。空处修饰后面的整个句子，故用副词形式。2what 解析：考查宾语从句。分析该句结构可知，空处引导宾语从句，且在从句中作动词 forget的宾语，故用 what引导该宾语从句，表示随着时间流逝，这个人就不会记得他应当忘记的事情了。3personal 解析：考查形容词。空处修饰名词 objects，故用形容词形式。句意：任何小物件都能唤起记忆，所以小心地用新物品替换任何照片、日记或其他个人的物品或礼物。4an 解析：考查冠词。不要以一种明显的方式做这件事，因为这很烦人。该处表示2“一种明显的方式”
6、 ，表示泛指，故用不定冠词；obvious 的读音以元音音素开头，故用an。5intention 解析：考查名词。根据空前的形容词性物主代词 your可知，该处用名词形式。句意：不要以明显的方式来做这件事情，因为这很烦人，但要在他(朋友)没有意识到你的意图的情况下做这件事情。6amusing 解析：考查形容词。根据空后的名词 stories可知，空处修饰该名词，故用形容词形式 amusing。句意：讲一些有趣的故事，或者谈谈你朋友的生活中重要和快乐的事情，比如刚出生的侄子或者工作晋升。7activities 解析：考查名词复数。根据该句中的“and appointments”可知，空处与此并列
7、，应用名词的复数形式。句意：使他忙于活动和约会。8to think 解析：考查固定搭配。too.to.为固定搭配，意为“太而不能” 。句意：让他忙得无法想起往事，这有助于让他看到积极之光。9before 解析：考查连词。句意：通常很长的一段时间之后，你的朋友才会完全忘掉这段记忆，所以如果他没有马上忘掉这段记忆，你不要失望。It will be一段时间before.表示“多久之后才” ，故用连词 before。10disappointed 解析：考查形容词。空处所在句为祈使句，系动词 be后接形容词，且修饰人，故用 disappointed。(对应学生用书 P123)一高考单词识记思考运用1核心
