语法训练
一.单项选择
1.—Look! The students________ small trees on the field.
—What a meaningful activity! They’re great environment protectors.
A.plant B.planting C.are planting D.to plant
【答案】C
【详解】句意:——看!学生们正在田野里种小树。——多么有意义的活动啊!他们是伟大的环境保护者。
根据句首提示词“Look!”可知,动作正在发生,应用现在进行时,结构为“be + doing”。主语The students是复数,be动词用are。
2.— Where is Sam?
— Look! He ________ a story to the children in the classroom.
A.tell B.tells C.is telling D.told
【答案】C
【详解】句意:—— Sam在哪儿?—— 看!他正在教室里给孩子们讲故事。
结合语句“Look! He…a story to the children in the classroom.”中的提示词Look!可知,动作正在进行,应使用现在进行时描述正在发生的动作,主语He是单数,应用is telling。
3.It’s 6:00 p.m. Mum ________ dinner. Let’s go and help her.
A.make B.makes C.making D.is making
【答案】D
【详解】句意:现在是下午6点。妈妈正在做晚饭。我们去帮她吧。
根据“It’s 6:00 p.m.”可知,此刻动作正在进行,应用现在进行时,其结构是“be动词+doing”,主语“Mum”是第三人称单数,be动词用is。
4.—Mum, look! The boy ________ the giraffe!
—Let’s go to stop him! It’s not good for animals.
A.feed B.fed C.is feeding D.will feed
【答案】C
【详解】句意:——妈妈,看!那个男孩正在喂长颈鹿!——我们去阻止他吧!这对动物不好。
根据语境中“Look!”以及妈妈的回应“Let’s go to stop him!”可知,动作正在发生,应用现在进行时(be + doing)。主语“The boy”为第三人称单数,故用“is feeding”。
5.— Do you know where Emma is?
— Listen! She ________ Chinese poems (诗) in the next room.
A.read B.reads C.is reading D.will read
【答案】C
【详解】句意:——你知道Emma在哪里吗?——听!她正在隔壁房间读中国诗。
根据“Listen!”可知动作此时此刻正在发生,应用现在进行时。故选C。
6.—Excuse me, may I use your computer now?
—Sorry, I ________ it.
A.work on B.am working on C.working on D.works on
【答案】B
【详解】句意:——打扰一下,我现在可以用你的电脑吗?——抱歉,我正在用它工作。
根据问句中的时间状语“now”可知,动作发生在说话当时。答语表示拒绝,理由是此刻正在使用电脑,强调动作正在进行,应用现在进行时“be+动词现在分词”。应选am working on。
7.—Do you know where Emma is?
—Listen! She ________ Chinese poems (诗) in the next room.
A.reads B.read C.will read D.is reading
【答案】D
【详解】句意:——你知道Emma在哪里吗?——听!她正在隔壁房间读中文诗。
根据前句“Listen!”可知,此处表示“正在听”的动作,强调说话时正在进行,应用现在进行时,应填is reading。
8.My sister ________ TV at the moment. She ________ a leaf poster.
A.doesn’t watch; makes B.isn’t watching; is making
C.isn’t watch; is make D.not watches; making
【答案】B
【详解】句意:我姐姐此刻没有看电视。她正在制作树叶海报。
根据时间状语“at the moment”可知动作正在进行,应用现在进行时,结构为“be+动词现在分词”。第一空主语My sister是第三人称单数,否定形式为isn’t watching;第二空主语She是第三人称单数,肯定形式为is making。选项A是一般现在时,选项C和D语法结构错误。
9.There’s a lot of ________ here in spring. Look! It’s ________.
A.rains; rains B.rains; raining C.rain; rains D.rain; raining
【答案】D
【详解】句意:这里春天雨水很多。看!正在下雨。
rain作名词时意为“雨”,是不可数名词;作动词时意为“下雨”。rains作为名词复数形式一般指“雨季”,不符合语境。第一空在“a lot of”之后,需要填名词,且rain为不可数名词,应填rain。第二空根据“Look!”可知,描述正在发生的动作,应用现在进行时(be + doing),应填raining。
10.—What ________ you ________ these days?
—I ________ a report about trees and our life.
A.do; do; write B.are; doing; am writing
C.are; do; am write D.do; doing; writing
【答案】B
【详解】句意:——这几天你在做什么?——我正在写一篇关于树木和我们生活的报告。
根据时间状语“these days”可知,句子表示现阶段正在进行的动作,应用现在进行时,结构为“be+doing”。问句主语为you,be动词用are,现在分词用doing;答句主语为I,be动词用am,现在分词用writing。

【导语】本文讲述不爱运动也不爱写作业的小男孩John,在一次动物园研学活动中,为了逃避写观察作文,故意躺在巴士地板上不看向窗外的动物,被老师发现后闹出笑话的故事。
【详解】1.句意:John是一个8岁的男孩。
8-year-old以元音音素开头,用不定冠词an“一个”符合语法规则。the“这个/那个(定冠词,表特指)”,a“一个(不定冠词,用于辅音音素开头的单词前)”,均不符合。
2.句意:他不喜欢做运动,也不喜欢做作业。
否定句中并列成分用or连接,or“或者”符合语境。and“和(用于肯定句)”,but“但是(表转折)”,均不符合。
3.句意:当老师向他要作业时,他经常说 “我的作业忘在家里了” 或者 “我的作业丢了”。
后面接直接引语,用says“说”符合语境。talks“谈论(侧重交谈)”,speaks“说(侧重说语言)”,均不符合。
4.句意:10月11日早上,John和同学们一起去野生动物园研学。
具体某一天的早上用介词on,On“在……(具体某天的早上/下午/晚上)”符合语境。At“在(具体时刻)”,In“在(年/月/季节/泛指的早上/下午/晚上)”,均不符合。
5.句意:现在,孩子们,我们可以看到窗外很多有趣的动物。
情态动词can后接动词原形,see“看见”符合语法规则。to see“看见(不定式)”,seeing“看见(现在分词)”,均不符合。
6.句意:你们需要仔细观察它们,并把它们写在笔记本上。
指代前面提到的many fun animals,用them“它们”符合语境。it“它(单数)”,her“她/她的”,均不符合。
7.句意:这可以帮助你们在研学后写作文。
由原文“...you to write”可知,此处是固定搭配help sb. to do sth.表示“帮助某人做某事”,help“帮助”符合语境。make“使(make sb. do sth.)”,let“让(let sb. do sth.)”,均不符合。
8.句意:学生们都看向窗外。
固定搭配look out of the window表示“看向窗外”,out“向外”符合语境。up“向上”,at“朝……看(后接宾语)”,均不符合。
9.句意:Miller老师和其他同学都很开心,也很感兴趣。
大家都对窗外的动物感兴趣,interested“感兴趣的”符合语境。bored“无聊的”,sad“难过的”,均不符合。
10.句意:Miller老师看到后问John:“你为什么躺在地板上?”
老师询问John躺在地上的原因,Why“为什么”符合语境。How“怎样”,Where“哪里”,均不符合。
四.语法选择

Imagine you go to the supermarket in 1 (you) area, but there are almost no fruits, vegetables, honey, milk, eggs or chocolate. How would you feel? Disappointed? Angry? Sad? 2 this moment, you realize people, plants, and animals are all connected. We need each other to live, and bees are one of the best 3 (example) of this connection.
Bees are very hard-working animals, and their greatest work is pollination (传粉). On one trip, they 4 (usual) visit 50 to 100 flowers. As they fly from one flower 5 another, they take pollen (花粉) with them. This action helps plants 6 (grow). In fact, without their work, about 80 percent of the plants in the world 7 (can) grow. For this reason, many scientists believe that bees are the most important animals on this planet.
Bees are also interesting. They work together to make their homes. Now, some bees are 8 (build) honeycombs (蜂巢) to store honey. Another interesting thing: when a bee finds new food, it will 9 (dance) to tell the others.
Bees play an 10 (important) part in our world. However, the number of bees is dropping. We must protect them because we can’t live without bees!
【答案】1.your 2.At 3.examples 4.usually 5.to 6.grow/to grow 7.can’t/cannot 8.building 9.dance 10.important
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍蜜蜂的习性以及蜜蜂在自然界中起到的关键作用,呼吁人们保护蜜蜂。
【详解】1.句意:想象你去你所在地区的超市,但是几乎没有水果、蔬菜、蜂蜜、牛奶、鸡蛋和巧克力。空格后是名词area,需要用形容词性物主代词修饰名词,you对应的形容词性物主代词为your,意为“你的”。
2.句意:在这一刻,你会意识到人类、植物和动物都是相互关联的。固定搭配at this moment,表示“此时此刻”,句首单词首字母需大写。
3.句意:我们彼此依靠才能生存,蜜蜂就是这种联系最好的例子之一。固定结构“one of the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数”表示“最……之一”,example的复数形式是examples。
4.句意:一趟出行中,它们通常会造访50至100朵花。本句主谓完整,此处需要副词修饰动词visit,形容词usual对应的副词形式为usually,意为“通常”。
5.句意:当它们从一朵花飞到另一朵花时,身上会沾带上花粉。固定搭配from one…to another…,表示“从一个……到另一个……”。
6.句意:这个行为帮助植物生长。固定搭配help sth. (to) do sth.,表示“帮助某物做某事”,不定式符号to可省略,因此可填grow或to grow。
7.句意:事实上,如果没有蜜蜂的劳作,世界上大约80%的植物都无法生长。根据语境,此处表达否定含义,情态动词can的否定形式为can’t或cannot,意为“不能、无法”。
8.句意:现在,一些蜜蜂正在建造蜂巢储存蜂蜜。句中Now是现在进行时标志词,结构为“be+现在分词”,build的现在分词是building。
9.句意:还有一件有趣的事:当蜜蜂发现新食物时,它会跳舞来告知其他同伴。will是情态动词,后接动词原形。
10.句意:蜜蜂在我们的世界里扮演着重要的角色。固定搭配play an important part in…,表示“在……中起到重要作用”,空格后是名词part,需用形容词important修饰。
