四、语法填空题（本大题有10小题，每小题1分，共10分）
1、The teacher asked us to stop (talk)________and listen to him carefully.
•Answer: talking
•Explanation: The sentence requires the gerund form “talking” after the verb “stop” because it’s used in the sense of ceasing an action. “Stop + -ing” means to cease doing something that is already in progress. If we wanted to say that the teacher told us to not start talking, we would use “stop to talk,” but that’s not the case here.
2、She will be (surprise)________when she finds out about the surprise party we have planned for her.
•Answer: surprised
•Explanation: The adjective “surprised” is used here because it describes the person’s state or feeling. When someone experiences a reaction to something, we use the “-ed” form of the adjective, which often relates to emotions. In this context, “surprised” indicates h ow she will feel upon discovering the party. The word “surprising” would describe the nature of the party itself, not her emotional response to it.
3、After__________(finish) her homework, Jane went out to play with her friends.
•Answer: finishing
•Explanation: After is a preposition and must be followed by the gerund (verb + ing) form of the verb. Therefore, the correct form is
“finishing.”
4、We were surprised__________(see) a rainbow in the sky after the rain.
•Answer: to see
•Explanation: The structure “be surprised to do something” is used when expressing surprise at an action. Thus, the infinitive form “to see”
is correct here.
5.In the 5 __week, they decided to take a short vacation.
A. last
B. lastest
C. later
D. latest
Answer: A
Explanation: The correct answer is “last” because it refers to the most recent week in the past. “Lastest” is not a correct word, “later” would imply a future time, and “latest” is more about the most recent in a general sense, not specifically the past.
6.The 6 __book on the table is mine, but the one on the floor is not.
A. first
B. last
C. second
D. third
Answer: C
Explanation: The correct answer is “second” because it indicates the second object in the given sequence. “First” would mean the first one, “last” would
imply the last one, and “third” would mean the third one, but since the question specifies that the first book is already mentioned as being theirs, the second book on the floor is the one being referred to.
7、After ____(live) in Beijing for many years, he moved to Shanghai where he found a job that was more suitable for his skills.
Answer: living
Explanation: The correct form of the verb “to live” in this context is “living,” which follows the preposition “After.” After requires a gerund (the -ing form of the verb) when used in this manner.
8、The students were asked to hand ____(in) their homework before they left the classroom.
Answer: in
Explanation: The phrase “hand in” means to submit or deliver something officially. In this sentence, the students need to turn in their homework, so “in” is the correct preposition to use after “hand.”
9.I have never seen such a beautiful__________before. (答案：view)
解析：根据句意，这里需要填入一个名词作为宾语。

由于前面有such修饰，所以应该填入不可数名词view。

10.She________(has/have) lived in this city for ten years. (答案：has)
解析：根据句意，这里需要填入一个动词的现在完成时。

主语she是第三人称单数，所以应该使用has。

故填入has。

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 the present perfect tense and the present perfect continuous tense in English?
答案：
The main differences between the present perfect tense and the present perfect continuous tense are as follows:
1.Time reference: The present perfect tense is used to describe actions or states that started in the past and continue to the present, or are relevant to the present. The present perfect continuous tense is used to describe actions that started in the past and are still continuing, or have just been completed.
2.Aspect: The present perfect tense is used to emphasize the result or experience of the action. The present perfect continuous tense is used to emphasize the ongoing nature of the action.
3.Auxiliary verbs: The present perfect tense uses “have” or “has” as the auxiliary verb. The present perfect continuous tense uses “have been” or “has been” as the auxiliary verb.
解析：
This question asks for the differences between the two tenses. It’s important to explain the time reference, aspect, and auxiliary verbs used in each tense. The answer provides a clear comparison between the two tenses, highlighting their distinct uses in English grammar.
2、How can you use the passive voice to express the idea of something being
done to you?
答案：
To express the idea of something being done to you, you can use the passive voice in English. The passive voice is formed by using the past participle of the verb after the form of the verb “to be.” Here’s how you can structure it:
1.Subject + be (am/is/are) + past participle of the verb + object.
2.For example: “The cake is being baked in the oven.” (The cake is being done to by someone else - baked.)
解析：
This question asks about the use of the passive voice to express an action being done to the subject. The answer explains the structure of the passive voice and provides an example to illustrate its usage. It’s important to note that the passive voice is used when the focus is on the action rather than the person performing it.
3、What is the main difference between British English and American English? Answer: The main differences lie in vocabulary, spelling, and sometimes pronunciation. For examp le, British English might use “colour,” while American English would use “color.”
Explanation: This question aims to test students’ understanding of the variations within the English language across different countries.
4、Translate the following sentence into English: “学而不思则罔.”
Answer: “Learning without thought is futile.”
Explanation: This sentence comes from Confucius and reflects the importance of critical thinking along with learning. It’s a good exercise for students to practice translating Chinese philosophical sayings into English.
5.What are the main differences between “have” and “get” in English usage?
Answer:
1.”Have” is used to express possession or to refer to states or conditions, while “get” is used for actions involving obtaining something or achieving a state.
2.”Have” is often used with abstract nouns, such as “knowledge,” “health,” or “friends,” whereas “get” is more commonly used with concrete nouns, like “money,” “food,” or “clothes.”
3.”Have” is used with present perfect tense to indicate a past experience that has a present result, while “get” is usually used with simple present tense to describe regular actions or habits.
Explanation:
In English, “have” and “get” are two commonly used verbs with different usage. Understanding their differences can help improve your English proficiency. “Have” is primarily used to express possession, like “I have a book,” or to refer to states or conditions, such as “She has a cold.” On the other hand, “get” is used for actions involving obtaining something or achieving a state, like “I get up early in the morning” or “She gets good grades at school.” Additionally, “have” is often combined with abstract nouns, while “get” is
more likely to be used with co ncrete nouns. Lastly, “have” is used with the present perfect tense to show a past action with a present result, while “get” is typically used in the simple present tense for regular actions or habits.
