Passage:
In the small town of Greenfield, there was a local library that served as a hub of community activity. Every Saturday, the library would host a Story Hour for children, where a volunteer would read a book to them. This tradition was started by Mrs. Thompson, a retired teacher who loved books and wanted to share her passion with the younger generation.
One Saturday, Mrs. Thompson was reading a book about animals. As she read, she noticed that the children were not as engaged as usual. They were fidgeting, looking at their watches, and some were even whispering to each other. Mrs. Thompson decided that she needed to change things up.
The next week, she brought a special book that she had found in her attic. It was an old, leather-bound book filled with vibrant illustrations and a
mysterious story. She opened it and began to read. The children’s eyes widened, and they were soon captivated by the tale of a magical forest and the creatures that lived there.
As she read, Mrs. Thompson noticed something unusual. The pages of the book seemed to be moving as if they had a life of their own. The children gasped and leaned in closer to see what was happening. Mrs. Thompson paused for a moment and then continued reading. To her amazement, the book began to glow, and the images on the pages started to come to life.

A. are; have
B. were; met
C. was; met
D. is; meets
Answer: A
Explanation: The first blank should be filled with “are” because “John and Jane” are the subjects, and the verb should agree with the plural subjects.

A. have; would travel
B. had; would have traveled
C. had; would travel

Explanation: The first blank should be filled with “had” to use the past perfect tense, which is used to express a condition that was true in the past but is not true now. The second blank should be filled with “would travel” to use the conditional perfect tense, indicating a future action that would be true under the condition stated.

(6)B. center
(7)C. center
(8)D. center
Answer: B, A, C, B
Explanation: The correct sequence is B (In the), A (of), C (this), B (city). The phrase “In the center of” is a fixed expression meaning “in the middle of” or “at the heart of.” The rest of the sentence provides additional information about the park.

Answer: B, B, A, D, B
Explanation: The correct sequence is B (If), B (you had), A (you), D (you would), B (had). This is a conditional sentence in the past perfect tense, which is used to talk about a situation that did not happen in the past. The structure is “If + past perfect, would have + past participle.”
5、I have never regretted___________my decision to study abroad. It has been
a challenging but rewarding experience.
A. making
B. made
C. make
D. to make
Answer: A
Explanation: The correct answer is “making” because “regretted” requires a gerund (verb+ing) as its object. The sentence means “I have never regretted the act of making the decision to study abroad.”
6、The teacher asked the students to________their books and pay attention to the blackboard.
A. put off
B. put on
C. put out
D. put away
Answer: D
Explanation: The correct answer is “put away” because it means to store or place something in a safe or appropriate place. The sentence means “The teacher asked the students to place their books in a safe place and to pay attention to the blackboard.” The other options do not fit the context as well: “put off” means to delay, “put on” means to wear, and “put out” means to extinguish a fire or light.
7.Tom and Jane__________(be) both interested in playing the piano.
答案：are
解析：根据句意，汤姆和简都对弹钢琴感兴趣，这里的主语是Tom and Jane，表示两个人，所以谓语动词用复数形式。

同时，根据时间状语”now”，我们知道这里应该使用一般现在时。

因此，正确答案是”are”。

8.If I__________(have) more time, I would travel to every country in the world.
答案：had
解析：根据句意，这里表示与现在事实相反的假设，所以主句应该使用”would+动词原形”的结构。

同时，根据从句中的时间状语”more time”，我们知道这里应该使用过去完成时。

因此，正确答案是”had”。

9.In the 9 days, he has been working 10 hard that he has almost worn out his shoes.
A. past two; so
B. last two; so
C. past two; too
D. last two; too
Answer: B
Explanation: The correct phrase here is “in the last two days,” which refers to the most recent two days. The word “so” is used to indicate a result or consequence, so the sentence should read “so hard that.” This means the correct answer is “In the last two days, he has been working so hard that he has almost worn out his shoes.”
10.If I 11 a chance, I would travel to the moon.
A. would have
B. had
C. have
D. were
Answer: B
Explanation: The correct tense to use in this context is the past subjunctive, which is used to express a hypothetical situation that is not true or is unlikely to happen. The correct phrase is “had a chance.” Therefore, the correct sentence is “If I had a chance, I would travel to the moon.” The other options are incorrect as they do not match the required past subjunctive form.
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 present simple and present continuous tenses?
答案：The main differences between present simple and present continuous tenses are as follows:
1.The present simple is used to talk about habitual actions, general truths, and permanent situations, while the present continuous is used to describe actions that are happening at the moment or ongoing actions.
2.The present simple does not use auxiliary verbs, whereas the present continuous uses the auxiliary verb “be” (am/is/are) + the present participle (-ing form of the verb).
3.The present simple has no time adverbial, while the present continuous often has time adverbials like “now,” “at the moment,” or “right now.”
解析：这道题目要求学生区分现在简单时和现在进行时的主要区别。

现在简单时通常用来描述习惯性的动作、普遍真理和永久性的情况，而现在进行时用来描述正在进行的动作或当前正在发生的事情。

现在简单时不使用助动词，而现在进行时使用助动词”be”加上动词的现在分词形式。

现在简单时没有时间状语，而现在进行时常常有时间状语。

2、How can you use the passive voice in a sentence?
答案：To use the passive voice in a sentence, follow these steps:
1.Identify the subject and the verb in the active voice sentence.
2.Place the verb in its passive form by using the past participle form of
the verb after the form of the verb “be.”
3.Make sure the subject of the passive voice sentence is what the action is done to.
例句：The book was written by the author. (主动语态：The author wrote the book.)
解析：这道题目要求学生了解如何使用被动语态。

在主动语态句子中，首先要确定主语和动词，然后将动词变为被动形式，即在”be”动词之后加上动词的过去分词形式，并确保被动语态句子的主语是动作的承受者。

例如，主动语态的句子”The author wrote the book.”变为被动语态后是”The book was written by the author.”
