二、阅读理解（30分）
Reading Comprehension
Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.
The Life of a Honey Bee
Honey bees are fascinating creatures that play an essential role in our ecosystem. They live in large groups called hives or colonies. Each colony has one queen bee, several drones (male bees), and many workers (female bees). The queen’s job is to lay eggs, while the drones’ main responsibility is to mate with the queen. Worker bees do all the other jobs in the hive, including gathering food, feeding the young, and protecting the hive.
Worker bees go out to collect nectar from flowers, which they turn into honey. Honey is not only a sweet treat for humans but also serves as food for the bees
during winter months when flowers are scarce. Bees communicate with each other through dance. When a worker bee finds a good source of nectar, it returns to the hive and does a special dance to tell the other bees where to find the nectar.
Bees are very important for the environment because they help plants reproduce by pollinating them. Without bees, many types of fruits and vegetables would be much harder to grow. Sadly, bee populations have been declining in recent years due to various reasons, including loss of habitat and disease. It is crucial that we protect these hardworking insects to ensure the health of our planet.
1.What are the three types of bees mentioned in the passage?
2.How do bees communicate the location of nectar to other bees?
3.Why are bees important for the environment?
Answers:
1.The three types of bees mentioned are the queen bee, drones (male bees), and workers (female bees).
2.Bees communicate the location of nectar to other bees through dance.
3.Bees are important for the environment because they help plants reproduce by pollinating them.

四、语法填空题（本大题有10小题，每小题1分，共10分）
1、Complete the following sentence with the correct form of the verb in brackets:
The children (play)________in the park when it started to rain.
Answer: were playing
Explanation: The sentence requires the past continuous tense to describe an action that was in progress at a specific point in the past. “Were playing” indicates that the children had been in the middle of playing when it began to rain.
2、Fill in the blank with the appropriate comparative adjective:
My sister’s new bicycle is________(fast) than her old one.
Answer: faster
Explanation: When comparing two things, such as the speed of two bicycles, we use the comparative form of the adjective. In this case, “fast” becomes “faster” to show that one bicycle is more speedy than the other.
These types of exercises help students practice verb tenses and adjective comparisons, which are fundamental aspects of English grammar.
3、In the library, every student is required to__________(wear) a uniform.
答案：wear
解析：本题考查动词的时态和语态。

根据句意，这里描述的是图书馆的规定，应该使用一般现在时。

同时，wear（穿着）与students之间是主谓关系，因此使用主动语态。

故填wear。

4、If I__________(be) you, I would take the job offer right away.
答案：were
解析：本题考查虚拟语气的用法。

根据句意，这里表示与现在事实相反的假设，因此主句应使用would + 动词原形。

由于从句中使用了if，表示虚拟条件，因此从句的动词应使用were（be的过去式）。

故填were。

5、The cat usually sleeps on the__________(choose) chair in the living room.
A. chosen
B. chooses
C. choosing
D. choose
Answer: A. chosen
Explanation: The correct answer is “chosen” because it is the past participle form of the verb “choose” and is used as an adjective to describe the chair. The sentence is describing a habit or a general fact, which is why the simple past form is not appropriate here.
6、If I__________(be) you, I would take the job offer right away.
A. am
B. were
C. will be
D. be
Answer: B. were
Explanation: The correct answer is “were” because the sentence is using the second conditional, which is used to express a hypothetical situation. The
structure for the second conditional is “if + past simple, would + verb in the base form.” Therefore, “were” (the past form of “am”) is used to indicate the hypothetical condition.
7.The___________(time) you spend on reading will definitely improve your English skills.
A. more
B. fewer
C. much
D. fewer
Answer: C
Explanation: The correct answer is “much” because it is used to modify uncountable nouns, which “time” is. The phrase “the more…the better” suggests that the more time spent on reading, the better the improvement in English skills.
8.If I___________(be) not late, I would have arrived earlier at the meeting.
A. was
B. were
C. had been
D. have been
Answer: B
Explanation: The correct answer is “were” because the sentence is in the conditional perfect tense, which is used to talk about a hypothetical situation
in the past. The correct form of the verb in this context is “were,” which is the past subjunctive form of “be.”
9.The teacher spoke 1us about the importance of studying English every day. (答案：to)
解析：The correct preposition to use here is “to” because “speak to” is a phrasal verb that means to address or communicate with someone.
10.By the end of last month, John had already finished 2 his homework. (答案：doing)
解析：The correct verb form to use here is “doing” because “finish doing” is the correct phrasal verb to express that someone has completed an action.
五、简答题（本大题有5小题，每小题2分，共10分）
1、What are the main differences between a simple sentence and a compound sentence?
Answer:
1.A simple sentence contains only one independent clause, which can stand alone as a complete sentence. A compound sentence is made up of two or more independent clauses that are joined by a coordinating conjunction, such as “and,” “but,” or “or.”
2.In a simple sentence, there is only one subject and one predicate. In a compound sentence, there can be multiple subjects and predicates, each clause being an independent unit.
3.Simple sentences typically have a clear and straightforward structure,
while compound sentences often have a more complex structure due to the combination of independent clauses.
1、What are the four basic types of sentences in English?
Answer:
1.Declarative sentences: These sentences make a statement or express an opinion.
They end with a period (.) and are used to convey information.
2.Interrogative sentences: These sentences ask a question. They end with
a question mark (?) and can be either direct or indirect questions.
3.Imperative sentences: These sentences give commands or instructions. They often end with a period (.) but can also end with an exclamation point (!) to express urgency or emphasis.
4.Exclamatory sentences: These sentences express strong emotions or reactions. They end with an exclamation point (!) and are used to convey surprise, joy, or anger.
3、简述名词的数的变化及其在句子中的作用。

答案：名词的数的变化主要有单数和复数两种形式。

在句子中，名词的数用来表示说话者所提及的人或事物的数量。

单数名词用于指一个对象，而复数名词用于指两个或两个以上的对象。

解析：名词的数是英语语法中一个基本概念，通过添加特定的词尾（如-s、-es等）或使用复数形式（如children、men等）来表示。

在句子中，名词的数与动词的数（单数或复数形式）保持一致，以保持句子的语法正确性。

例如，“I have a book.”（我有一本书。

）（单数）和”I have two books.”（我有两本书。

）（复数）。

4、举例说明如何使用形容词和副词的比较级和最高级来描述事物的差异。

答案：形容词和副词的比较级用来表示两个事物之间的比较，最高级则用来表示三者或三者以上事物之间的比较。

举例：
•形容词比较级：Tall (高) - Taller (更高)
•形容词最高级：Tallest (最高)
•副词比较级：Fast (快) - Faster (更快)
•副词最高级：Fastest (最快)
解析：形容词和副词的比较级和最高级是通过在词尾加上-er和-est来形成的。

比较级用于表达两个事物之间的相对差异，如”Taller than me”（比我高）。

最高级用于表达三者或三者以上事物之间的绝对差异，如”The tallest building in the city”（城市中最高的建筑）。

使用这些级别可以增强句子的描述性和比较性。

5、What are the four main sentence structures in English? (Please list them in order of complexity and provide a brief explanation for each.) Answer:
1.Simple sentence: A sentence that expresses a single complete thought with a subject and a predicate. Example: “The cat sleeps on the bed.”
pound sentence: A sentence made up of two or more independent clauses joined by a comma, a conjunction, or a semicolon. Example: “She loves reading books; he enjoys playing sports.”
plex sentence: A sentence that has one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. Example: “Although it was raining, she went to the park.”
pound-complex sentence: A sentence that has two or more independent
clauses and one or more dependent clauses. Example: “She loves reading books, and he enjoys play ing sports; however, he is not good at studying.”
Explanation:
•Simple sentences are the most basic and straightforward form of a sentence.
•Compound sentences combine two or more independent thoughts, each with its own subject and predicate.
•Complex sentences introduce a dependent clause that adds more information to the main independent clause.
•Compound-complex sentences combine the elements of both compound and complex sentences, making them the most complex in terms of structure.
