The past tense form is “applauded.”4、The teacher asked us to write an essay about________(we) summer holidays. Answer: our.Explanation: Here, we need a possessive adjective to describe whose summer holidays are being referred to. The correct form is “our,” which shows that the students are talking about their own summer holidays.Would you like me to generate more questions or any other section of the exam?5.In the__________(be) morning, we received an unexpected visit from ourold friend.答案：b解析：此题中，根据句意，我们需要一个表示一般现在时的动词形式来修饰morning。

The library was housed in a beautiful old building that had stood for centuries. One day, a young boy named Tom decided to explore the library after school. He had always been fascinated by books and stories.A s Tom wandered through the aisles, he came across a section marked “Rare Books.” His eyes widened in excitement as he saw shelves filled with ancient tomes and scrolls. He approached a large wooden table where an old librarian, Mrs. Green, was sitting.“Good afternoon, young sir,” Mrs.Green greeted warmly. “May I help you find something?”“Yes, please,” Tom replied. “I was wondering if I could see some of the rare books.”“Of course,” Mrs.Green said with a smile. “Follow me.”She led Tom to a private room filled with light from a large window. On the table were several books, each more intriguing than the last. Tom’s eyes were drawn to a particularly ornate book with a silver cover and intricate carvings.“This one is a first edition of ‘The Magical Garden,’ written by the legendary author, Eliza Thompson,” Mrs.Green explained. “It’s considered one of our most valuable books.”Tom carefully opened the book and began to read. The story was captivating, and he found himself lost in the world of magic and enchantment. As he read, he noticed a small note tucked into the front page.“It says here that this book has a special secret,” Tom whispered toMrs. Green.“Indeed,” she replied. “The book contains a hidden map that leads to a hidden treasure. Many have tri ed to find it, but none have succeeded.”Tom’s heart raced with excitement. He knew he had to find the treasure. He spent the rest of the day searching for clues in the book and around the library. Finally, he found a small, weathered map tucked behind a bookshelf.The map led Tom to a small, hidden room behind the library.

A monologue is a form of solo speech, often used in plays, to co nvey a character’s inner thoughts or feelings. A dialogue, on the other hand, involves the back-and-forth exchange of words between characters, which is a key element in most forms of literature.2、How can using similes and metaphors enhance the effectiveness of descriptive writing?Answer:1.Similes and metaphors add vividness and imagery to descriptive writing, making the descriptions more engaging and memorable for the reader.2.By comparing two different things using similes (e.g., “Her eyes were like s tars”) or by identifying one thing with another through metaphors (e.g., “Her heart was a hammer in her chest”), authors can create strong sensory experiences that help the reader visualize and feel the described scene or object.3.These figures of speech can also convey emotions and abstract concepts more effectively than plain descriptions, as they allow the reader to form a mental image that resonates with their own experiences.Explanation:This question assesses the student’s knowledge of修辞手法（rhetorical devices）在写作中的作用。
