1、What is the correct past tense form of the verb “do”?
A. done
B. did
C. doed
D. dosed
Answer: B
Explanation: The correct past tense form of the verb “do” is “did”. The other options are incorrect forms or spellings of the past tense.

A. She doesn’t have any apples.
B. She haven’t any a pples.
C. She don’t have any apples.
D. She hasn’t any apples.
Answer: D
Explanation: The correct sentence is “She hasn’t any apples.” The present perfect tense is formed with “has” (or “have” for third person singular) followed by the past participle “had”. The correct past participle of “have” is “had”, making option D the correct choice. Options A and C are incorrect because they use the simple present tense instead of the present perfect tense.
Option B is incorrect because it uses the incorrect for m of the verb “have”.
3、Choose the correct form of the verb to fill in the blank:
We_______(be) going to visit our grandparents next week.
•Options: A) is B) am C) are
•Answer: C) are
•Explanation: The subject “we” is a plural pronoun, so the correct form of the verb “to be” in this context is “are”. Also, the future
intention suggests the use of “are going to”, which indicates a planned future action.
4、Select the correctly punctuated sentence:
•Options: A) Its a long way to the park. B) It’s a long way to the park.
C) Its’a long way to the park.
•Answer: B) It’s a long way to the park.
•Explanation: The correct choice uses the contraction “It’s” which stands for “It is”. The apostrophe indicates the omission of a letter.
Option A lacks an apostrophe and thus does not show possession or
contraction correctly, while option C incorrectly places the apostrophe.
This format should be suitable for students transitioning from primary to secondary education in English language comprehension and grammar.
5、Choose the correct word to complete the sentence.

A. quiet
B. quiet
C. quiet

A. greatly
B. greatly
C. greatly
D. greatly

7、What is the correct past tense of the verb “do”?
A) does
B) did
C) do
D) don’t

A)She had finished her homework when her mother called.
B)I was eating dinner when he arrived.
C)They had left the party when it started to rain.
Answer: A) She had finished her homework when her mother called.
Explanation: The past perfect tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action. In this case, “She had finished her homework” indicates an action completed before “her mother called.” The other options use the simple past tense, which is not appropriate for indicating an action that happened before another past action.
10.Choose the correct word to complete the sentence:
The sun___________up at 6 a.m. today.
A)rises
B)has risen
C)is rising
D)will rise
Answer: A) rises
Explanation: The simple present tense is used to describe an action or state that is a general fact or habit, and it is also used with time expressions like “every day,” “always,” etc. Since the sentence is describing a general fact about the sun’s rising time, the correct answer is “rises.” The other options suggest actions in progress, future actions, or completed actions, which are not appropriate in this context.
11.Choose the correct word to complete the sentence:
The cat is very ______, so it can’t run fast.
A. tall
B. fat
C. thin
D. old

The other options contain grammatical errors: A has the incorrect verb form, C has a subject-verb agreement error, and D has an incorrect verb tense and a redundant article.

五、写作题（16分）
Title: The Unexpected Turn
I usually wake up at 6:30 a.m., the sun casting a gentle glow through my bedroom window. My morning routine is predictable: I brush my teeth, get dressed, have breakfast, and head off to school. Today, however, was different.
The morning was bright and cheerful, and I was looking forward to the day ahead. I had a math test scheduled, but I felt confident after studying hard
last night. As I was leaving the house, my mom called out to remind me about my soccer practice after school.
The bus ride to school was uneventful, and I arrived at the bus stop with a spring in my step. Suddenly, as I was about to board the bus, I slipped on a patch of ice and fell flat on my face. Pain shot through my arm, and I realized I had sprained it.
The shock of the fall turned my morning excitement into sheer panic. I worried about missing the math test and the soccer practice. As I sat on the bench, holding my arm, I felt a wave of frustration and despair wash over me.
However, as I began to assess the situation, I realized I had a choice. I could sit there and wallow in my misfortune, or I could find a way to make the best of it. I decided to focus on what I could control: calling my mom to inform her about the injury and asking my friends for help with the math test.
My friends were incredibly supportive, and they helped me with my test. Although I didn’t perform as well as I would have liked, I learned a valua ble lesson about resilience and adaptability. I also realized that, despite the setbacks, I had a strong support system around me.
As the day went on, I felt my mood lift. I was grateful for my friends’ help and for the opportunity to learn from my experience. That day, I learned that life’s unexpected twists and turns can teach us as much as our planned activities.
Analysis:
The student has successfully integrated the required elements into a coherent story. The opening paragraph sets the stage for the typical morning, while the second paragraph introduces the significant event that triggers the change in emotions. The third paragraph describes the character’s initial response to the event, which is understandable given the circumstances. The fourth paragra ph shows the character’s decision to take control of the situation and seek help, which is a positive response. The final paragraph reflects on the experience and what the character learned from it, providing closure to the story. The story is well-structured, with clear transitions between the different parts.。
