三、完型填空（15分）
Section Three: Cloze Test (5 points)
Directions: Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer for each blank. Each answer that you choose should be written in its corresponding space on the ANSWER SHEET.
It was a cold winter morning when I saw an old lady standing alone at the bus stop. She was wearing a heavy coat, but her hands were still shaking from the cold. As I approached, I noticed that she had a(n) 1expression on her face. It seemed like she was lost or waiting for someone.
Without hesitation, I decided to offer her my help. “Can I help you with anything, ma’am?” I asked gently. She looked up at me with a 2smile and replied, “I’m just waiting for the bus to the hospital. My grandson is sick and I’m going to see him.”
Feeling a little relieved, I offered to keep her company until the bus arrived. We talked about all sorts of things, from the weather to her grandchildren. She told me stories about how much she loved spending time with them and how they brought joy to her life.
As we waited, I noticed a sense of 3 come over her face. It was as if the simple act of talking and having someone to listen had lifted a weight off her shoulders. “Thank you for your kindness, young man,” she said, holding my hand warmly. “You have no idea how much this means to me.”
The bus finally arrived and she got on, turning to wave at me one last time. As I watched her go, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of 4 and satisfaction.
I realized that sometimes, the smallest acts of kindness can make a big difference in someone’s life.
And that’s when I understood the true meaning of being a good neighbor –not just someone who lives nearby, but someone who is always willing to lend a helping hand and make the world a little warmer, one 5 at a time.
Answers:
1.puzzled
2.grateful
3.relief
4.happiness
5.smile
四、语法填空题（本大题有10小题，每小题1分，共10分）
1、I don’t like playing_______piano, but I like playing_______basketball.
A. the; the
B. /; the
C. the; /
D. /; / Answer: C Explanation: 在英语中，当提到演奏乐器时，通常需要在乐器名称前加定冠词”the”。

因此，“playing the piano”是正确的表达方式。

而当提到球类运动或棋类游戏时，则不需要加定冠词。

所以，“playing basketball”是正确的表达方式。

因此，选项C是正确的。

2、Could you please_______me your address?
A. tell
B. to tell
C. telling
D. tells Answer: A Explanation: “Could you please…”是一个常见的礼貌请求句型，其后应接动词原形。

在四个选项中，只有A选项”tell”是动词原形，符合该句型的要求。

其他选项B（to tell）是动词不定式，C（telling）是现在分词形式，D（tells）是第三人称单数形式，均不符合该句型的要求。

因此，正确答案是A。

3、Title: Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb given in brackets.
Question: He often _____(watch) TV on weekends, but last weekend he
_____(not watch) TV.
Answer: watches; didn’t watch
Explanation: The first blank requires the simple present tense because
“often” indicates a regular action. So, “watch” becomes “watches” for the third-person singular subj ect “he”. The second blank uses the past tense with negation to indicate an action that did not occur in the past. Hence, “watch” becomes “didn’t watch”.
4、Title: Fill in the blank with the appropriate preposition.
Question: My birthday is_____the 15th of September.
Answer: on
Explanation: When specifying a specific date (day of the month), we use the preposition “on”. Therefore, the correct form is “on the 15th of September”
to indicate the exact day of the birthday.
5、_____ (he/his) favorite subject is science. Answer: His Explanation: 题目要求选择一个合适的代词来修饰“favorite subject”。

由于
“favorite subject”是名词短语，需要用形容词性物主代词来修饰。

在“he”和“his”
中，“he”是主格代词，不能修饰名词；“his”是形容词性物主代词，可以修饰名词，
所以正确答案是“His”。

6、We have a basketball game_____(in/on) September 10th. Answer: on Explanation: 题目考查的是介词的正确使用。

在英语中，表示具体某一天时，通常用
介词“on”。

而“in”通常用于表示月份、年份、季节等较长的时间段。

因此，在这个
句子中，由于“September 10th”是一个具体的日期，所以应该使用介词“on”。

7、He has been away from his hometown for two years. (改为同义句)
He________________ his hometown for two years. Answer: has left Explanation: 原句中的”has been away from”表示某人已经离开某地一段时间，并
且这段时间内他并未返回。

转换为同义句时，我们可以使用”has left”，但需要注意的是，“has left”仅表示离开的动作已经完成，并不直接说明离开的时间长度。

然而，由于题目中给出了时间状语”for two years”，我们可以理解为这种离开是持续性的，因此在语境上，“has left”可以与这个时间状语搭配使用，传达出与”has been away from”相似的意思。

8、The girl is too young to go to school. (改为同义句) The girl is not________________ to go to school. Answer: old enough Explanation: 原句中的”too…to…“结构表示”太…而不能…“，即女孩因为年龄太小而不能上学。

转换为同义句时，我们可以使用”not…enough to…“结构，其中”enough”是副词，修饰形容词”old”，表示”足够老”。

这样，“not old enough”就表示”不够老”，与”too young”意思相反，但结合句意，两者都传达了女孩因年龄问题而不能上学的信息。

因此，“The girl is not old enough to go to school.”就是原句的同义句。

9、He is_______(excite) to hear the good news.
Answer: excited Explanation: 当形容词用于描述人的感受或情绪时，通常使用”-ed”结尾的形容词。

在这里，“excited”描述了他听到好消息后的情绪状态。

而”excite”是动词，表示“使激动；使兴奋”。

10、My parents_______(go) to the park every weekend.
Answer: go Explanation: 句子中使用了”every weekend”，表示经常性的动作，因此需要用一般现在时。

主语”My parents”是复数形式，所以动词不需要加”-s”或”-es”来构成第三人称单数形式。

因此，正确答案是”go”。

五、简答题（本大题有5小题，每小题2分，共10分）
1.Question: Explain the difference between regular and irregular verbs in English,
giving an example of each.
Answer: Regular verbs follow a predictable pattern when forming their past tense and past participle. They typically add “-ed” to the base form of the verb. For example, the verb “play” becomes “played” in both the past tense and past participle. On the other hand, irregular verbs do not follow this pattern. They have unique forms for their past tense and past participle. An example of an irregular verb is “go,” which becomes “went” in the past tense and “gone” in the past participle.
Explanation: Regular verbs are straightforward to conjugate because they follow a consistent pattern. However, irregular verbs require memorization as their forms do not adhere to a standard rule. Understanding this distinction helps in constructing accurate sentences in English.
2.Question: Describe the function of an article (a/an, the) in English sentences,
and provide an example sentence demonstrating its use.
Answer: Articles in English serve to specify the noun they precede, indicating whether the noun is referring to a specific instance (definite) or a general or non-specific instance (indefinite). “The” is a definite article, used when the noun is already known or identifiable to the listener/reader. “A” or “an” are indefinite articles, used when introducing a noun for the first time or referring to it in a non-specific manner. For example, “The cat is sleeping on the sofa.” Here, “the” indicates that the cat is a specific one known to the speaker. In contrast, “A cat is sleeping on the sofa.” suggests that there is a cat sleeping, but it is not a particular one being referred to.
Explanation: Articles play a crucial role in English grammar, helping to clarify the meaning of sentences by defining the scope of nouns. By using “the,” the speaker implies that the listener should already have a mental image of the noun being discussed. Conversely, “a” or “an” create a sense of generality or introduce a new noun to the discourse.
3、Question: Explain the difference between the present simple tense and the present continuous tense, and give an example sentence for each.
Answer: The present simple tense is used to express habits, general truths, or actions that happen regularly or habitually. It does not emphasize the ongoing nature of the action. For example: “I eat an apple every day.”
The present continuous tense, on the other hand, is used to describe actions that are happening right now or actions that are ongoing at the present moment. It emphasizes the ongoing nature of the action. For example: “I am eating an apple now.”
Explanation: The present simple tense focuses on the habit or regularity of an action, while the present continuous tense focuses on the action’s current state of being performed. The present simple tense uses the base form of the verb (e.g., “eat”) for the first person singular (I) and adds “-s” or “-es” for the third person singular (he/she/it eats). The present continuous tense uses the verb “to be” (am/is/are) followed by the present participle form of the verb (e.g., “eating”).
4、Question: What is a subject pronoun, and how does it differ from an
object pronoun? Provide an example sentence that illustrates the use of both.
Answer: A subject pronoun is a pronoun that replaces a noun as the subject of a sentence or clause. It performs the action or is the state of being described. For example, “I” is a subject pronoun in the sentence “I am reading a book.”
An object pronoun, on the other hand, replaces a noun as the direct or indirect object of a verb or preposition. It receives the action of the verb. For example, “me” is an object pronoun in the sentence “She gave me a book.”
Example Sentence: “He (subject pronoun) gave me (object pronoun) a present.”
Explanation: In this example sentence, “he” is the subject pronoun because it is the one performing the action of giving. “Me” is the obje ct pronoun because it is the one receiving the action of the verb “gave.” Subject pronouns come before the verb, while object pronouns typically follow the verb or preposition.
5、Question: Explain the difference between a countable noun and an uncountable noun in English, and give an example of each.
Answer: Countable nouns refer to things that can be counted individually, while uncountable nouns refer to abstract concepts, substances, or things that are considered as a whole rather than separate items.
Example of a Countable Noun: “Books” - You can count the number of books you have, such as “I have three books.”
Example of an Uncountable Noun: “Water” - Water is considered as a substance that cannot be counted individually, so you would say “I dran k some water” instead of “I drank three waters.”
Explanation: Countable nouns are nouns that can be counted using numbers or quantifiers like “a,” “an,” “one,” “two,” etc. They usually have both singular and plural forms. For instance, “apple” (singula r) becomes “apples” (plural) when you have more than one.
Uncountable nouns, on the other hand, do not have a plural form and are not used with numbers or quantifiers that imply individuality. They often refer to abstract ideas (like love, happiness), liquids (like water, milk), powders (like flour, sugar), or materials (like wood, iron) that are considered as a mass or a continuous substance. When referring to an amount of an uncountable noun, we use phrases like “some,” “a little,” “much,” “a lot of,” etc.
六、书面表达题（15分）
Section VI: Written Expression
Task: Imagine you are Li Hua, a student from Class 1, Grade 7. Your school has recently held a “Reading Month” activity, which has inspired you greatly. Write a letter to your pen pal, Tom, in the UK, to share your experience and thoughts about the event. In your letter, include the following points:
1.A brief introduction to the “Reading Month” activity.
2.Activities you participated in and enjoyed most.
3.How this event has influenced your reading habits and understanding of
books.
4.Your recommendation for Tom to start a similar reading initiative in his
school or community.
Dear Tom,
I hope this letter finds you well. I’m excited to share with you a recent event that has left a profound impact on me –our school’s “Reading Month” activity!
Just last month, our school embarked on a journey to celebrate the joy of reading, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. The entire month was dedicated to immersing ourselves in the world of books, from classics to contemporary fiction, non-fiction, and everything in between. The goal was to encourage us to read more, discover new genres, and appreciate the power of literature.
Among the myriad activities organized, I particularly enjoyed the “Book Club Discussion” and the “Author’s Corner” sessions. The book club allowed me to engage in thoughtful debates with my peers about the themes and messages conveyed in the books we read. It was fascinating to see how different perspectives could enrich our understanding of the same story. As for the “Author’s Corner,” meeting a renowned local author in person and hearing their insights into the creative process was truly inspiring.
This “Reading Month” has not only significantly increased my reading
volume but also shifted my perspec tive on books. I’ve come to realize that reading is not just a leisurely activity; it’s a window to different cultures, histories, and human emotions. It has broadened my horizons and nurtured my imagination. Furthermore, I’ve developed a habit of setting aside time each day to read, which has become a cherished part of my routine.
Tom, I strongly believe that such an event could benefit your school or community immensely. I encourage you to initiate a similar reading initiative, perhaps by organizing book swaps, hosting writing workshops, or inviting guest speakers to talk about their literary journeys. By fostering a love for reading, you’ll be contributing to the growth and development of minds, just as our “Reading Month” has done for us.
I’m eager to hear about your thoughts on this and whether you’ll take up the challenge. In the meantime, keep reading and exploring the magical worlds that lie between the covers of books.
Warmest regards,
Li Hua
