【分析】
首先通读全文，把握整篇短文的场景是当下纽约下雪时发生的事，整体以现在的时态为核心，理清故事逻辑：Cindy在家写作业遇到难题想求助，刚好接到姐姐的历史老师的电话，一开始Cindy不想转告，后来姐姐主动提出教她滑冰，Cindy感到愧疚转告了口信。接下来逐个推导空格：1. 看到提示词do和时间标志now，立刻想到现在进行时结构；2. 后半句是to work it out，结合句意“不知道怎么算出题目”，用疑问词how加不定式结构；3. 前后句是想求助但妈妈在忙的转折逻辑，填转折连词；4. 后面是名词老师，要表达所属关系用名词所有格；5. 回忆固定短语take a message；6. 动词后用人称代词宾格；7. 后面提到两个朋友，用名词复数；8. 修饰动词要用副词，把形容词good转成副词；9. 回忆feel sorry的固定搭配；10. 回忆ask的固定搭配ask sb to do sth。全部填完后代入通读检查逻辑和语法是否通顺即可。
【解析】
1. 句中出现时间状语now，表明Cindy此刻正在做家庭作业，要用现在进行时结构"am/is/are + 动词现在分词"，主语Cindy是第三人称单数，be动词选is，do的现在分词为doing，因此填is doing。
2. 句意为“Cindy不知道怎么算出这道题”，使用"how + 不定式"结构作动词know的宾语，表示“如何做某事”，因此填how。
3. 前文提到Cindy想向妈妈求助，后文说明妈妈正在厨房做饭，前后语义为转折关系，用并列连词but连接，因此填but。
4. 此处要表达“姐姐的历史老师”，需要用名词所有格修饰后面的名词history teacher，sister的所有格形式为sister's，因此填sister's。
5. 固定短语take a message是常用表达，意为“捎口信”，因此填不定冠词a。
6. 动词call后要接人称代词的宾格形式作宾语，主格he对应的宾格是him，因此填him。
7. 后文列举了Linda和Jenny两位朋友，说明此处要用可数名词friend的复数形式friends，因此填friends。
8. 空格处需要修饰动词skate，要使用副词，形容词good对应的副词形式是well，因此填well。
9. 固定搭配feel sorry for sth. 意为“为某事感到愧疚/抱歉”，符合此处Cindy为自己之前的想法感到不好意思的语境，因此填for。
10. 固定搭配ask sb. to do sth. 意为“要求某人做某事”，此处用不定式作宾语补足语，因此填to give。
【答案】
1. is doing 2. how 3. but 4. sister's 5. a
6. him 7. friends 8. well 9. for 10. to give
【知识点】
现在进行时，名词所有格，固定短语搭配

二、书面表达。
假如你是Linda,现在是晚上8点,请根据下列表格提供的信息,给你
的笔友Jane写一封80词左右的邮件,描述一下你们一家人的活动情况。
描述你和Bob的活动情况时可以适当发挥。

One possible version:
Dear Jane,
How are you doing these days?
It's 8:00 p.m. now. My family are busy. My
grandfather is listening to the radio. It's relaxing.
My grandmother is reading a book. She often reads
in the evening. My father is watching a soccer game
on TV. And my mother is making a phone call.
What am I doing? I'm doing my homework. I have
much homework to do every day. My brother, Bob,
is playing games. He's really happy.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Linda

【分析】
首先拿到这道题先明确核心要求：身份是Linda，写作对象是笔友Jane，场景是晚上8点描述全家人的活动。第一步先确定文体是英文电子邮件，要符合邮件的基本格式；第二步确定核心时态，描述此刻正在发生的动作，要用现在进行时；第三步先把表格里给出的所有人物的固定活动全部对应写出来，不要漏点，之后再合理补充自己和Bob的日常活动，比如写作业、玩游戏这类符合晚间8点的合理场景，最后加上邮件常规的问候收尾，控制总词数在80左右就可以完成写作。
【解析】
1. 格式搭建：按照英文邮件规范，开头写称呼Dear Jane，结尾写落款Yours, Linda，中间正文部分先做常规问候，点明当前时间是晚上8点。
2. 主体内容写作：按照表格顺序依次介绍家人的活动，全部使用现在进行时结构：My grandfather is listening to the radio. My grandmother is reading a book. My father is watching a soccer game on TV. My mother is making a phone call，每部分可以补充1句简单的小说明让语句更自然。
3. 自主发挥部分：结合晚间8点的日常场景，设定Linda正在做家庭作业，弟弟Bob正在玩游戏，符合生活逻辑。
4. 收尾：加上盼回信的常规表述，检查所有要点无遗漏，时态统一，词数符合要求即可。
