Answer: B. Happy
Explanation:An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun (person, place, thing, or idea). “Happy” is an adjective because it can describe someone’s mood or state, e.g., “a happy child.” The other options are not adjectives: “Quickly” is an adverb, “Jumped” is a verb in the past tense, and “Running” is a verb in the present participle form, which can also act as a gerund but not as an adjective in this context.

B. for
C. at
D. on
Answer: A. with
Explanation:The preposition “with” is used here to indicate accompaniment. It means you will go to the party accompanied by your best friend. The other prepositions do not fit the context: “for” would imply a reason or recipient, “at” is used to specify a location, and “on” typically denotes
being physically on top of something or a specific day.

A. sitting
B. standing
C. lying

The children________playing in the park.
A)is
B)are
C)am
D)be
Answer: B) are
Explanation: The subject “the children” is plural, so we need the plural form of the verb “to be,” which is “are.” The correct sentence would be “The children are playing in the park.”
8、Select the word that correctly completes the sentence:
My sister and I________going to the library tomorrow.
A)is
B)am
C)are
D)be
Answer: C) are
Explanation: When the subject consists of two or more nouns or pronouns joined by “and,” the verb must agree with the first subject. Here, “My sister” is the first subject, and because “my sister” is singular, it might initially seem confusing. However, when you consider both subjects (“My sister and I”),
it becomes clear that the verb should be plural. Therefore, “are” is the correct choice. The complete sentence would read, “My sister and I are going to the library tomorrow.”Here are the multiple-choice questions again for your reference:

五、写作题（16分）
Writing
Task: Write a short story about a day you remember well. In your story, include the following details:
•The date and season of the day.
•Where you were and what you were doing.
•At least two people you met that day.
•One thing you learned or realized on that day.
Example:
Title: The Day of the Fair
It was a sunny autumn day, October 15th to be exact. I was at the annual school fair with my family. It was a day filled with fun, laughter, and new experiences.
We arrived at the fairground early in the morning, just as the gates opened. The atmosphere was electric with excitement. My sister, Emily, and I eagerly took in the sights and sounds around us.
One of the first people we met was Mr. Thompson, our school’s science teacher. He was there with a booth showcasing his latest experiments. Emily and I were fascinated by his volcano-making demonstration. It was so cool to see the chemicals react and the volcano erupt in a splash of colorful lava.
Later, we encountered our friend, Sarah, who was volunteering at the bake sale. She was busy packaging cookies and pastries for customers. We helped her for a while, and it was fun to see the smiles on the faces of the people who bought from us.
The highlight of the day was the raffle. I won a prize - a colorful, hand-painted canvas. I was so happy and felt a sense of accomplishment. The thing I learned that day was that hard work can pay off, and luck is just around the corner.
As the day came to an end, we left the fairground with a sense of satisfaction. It was a perfect autumn day, and it will always be a cherished memory in my heart.
Analysis:
This example follows the structure of a good short story. It starts with
a clear setting, introduces the characters, and sets the scene for the events that follow. The story describes the activities at the fair and the interactions with the characters, such as Mr. Thompson and Sarah. The climax of the story is the raffle, where the narrator wins a prize and learns a valuable lesson. The ending leaves the reader with a sense of fulfillment and a lasting memory of the day.。
