Part Two Multiple Choice (15 marks)
1. — How do you study for a test?
— I study ________ working with a group.
A. by B. with C. in D. at
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你如何为考试学习?——我通过小组合作学习。
by通过;with和……一起;in在……里面;at在……处。根据问句“How do you study”可知是询问学习的方式或手段,表示“通过……方式”常用介词by,且后接动词-ing形式。
2. —________ have you been learning English?
—For about three years.
A. How long B. How often C. How soon D. How much
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你学习英语多长时间了?——大约三年了。
How long多长时间;How often多久一次;How soon多久以后;How much多少。根据答语“For about three years”可知是对时间段进行提问。故选How long。
3. The boy is ________ to go to school.
A. old enough B. enough old C. young enough D. enough young
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意: 这个男孩已经足够大,可以去上学了。
考查enough和形容词辨析。enough足够,修饰形容词时,需要放在形容词后,排除BD;old老的;young年轻的。根据“go to school.”可知,年纪够大了,可以上学,应用old。故选A。
4. She used to ________ short hair, but now she has long hair.
A. have B. having C. had D. has
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:她过去常常留短发,但现在她留长发了。
根据“but now”可知,此处描述过去的状态,固定搭配used to do sth.意为“过去常常做某事”,后接动词原形。故选have。
5. —I have never been to Beijing.
—________.
A. Me neither B. Me too C. So have I D. Neither I have
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我从来没有去过北京。——我也没有。
Me neither我也没有;Me too我也是;So have I我也一样;Neither I have表述结构错误。根据前句“I have never been to Beijing.”的否定语境,此处要表达“我也没去过”的含义,否定句中表示后者和前者情况一致,应选Me neither。
6. The book is very ________. I am ________ in it.
A. interesting; interested
B. interested; interesting
C. interesting; interesting
D. interested; interested
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:这本书非常有趣。我对它很感兴趣。
interesting有趣的(常修饰物);interested感兴趣的(常修饰人)。第一空主语“The book”是物,用interesting;第二空主语“I”是人,且be interested in...“对……感兴趣”,表明对书感兴趣。用interested。
7. —Could you please tell me ________?
—Sure. It’s on Center Street.
A. where is the post office B. where the post office is
C. where was the post office D. where the post office was
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你能告诉我邮局在哪里吗?——当然。它在中心大街。
宾语从句需用陈述语序,即“引导词 + 主语 + 谓语”,排除A和C;主句中Could表示委婉语气,并非过去时,结合答语可知用一般现在时,排除D。故选B。
8. My teacher told us that the earth ________ around the sun.
A. goes B. went C. is going D. has gone
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:我的老师告诉我们地球绕着太阳转。
虽然主句谓语told是过去式,但从句陈述的是客观真理,需用一般现在时,主语the earth为第三人称单数,谓语动词用三单形式。应选goes。
9. The teacher made him ________ the classroom after school.
A. clean B. to clean C. cleaning D. cleaned
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:老师让他放学后打扫教室。
固定搭配make sb. do sth.意为“使某人做某事”,此处应用clean作宾语补足语。
10. — What were you doing at 8:00 yesterday evening?
— I ________ my homework.
A. was doing B. were doing C. did D. do
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——昨天晚上8点你在做什么?——我当时正在做作业。
was doing正在做;were doing正在做;did做了;do做。根据“at 8:00 yesterday evening”可知,表示过去某一时刻正在进行的动作,应用过去进行时,结构为“was/were+doing”;主语是I,be动词用was。故填was doing。
11. He ________ the army for two years.
A. has joined B. has been in C. joined D. has been
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:他参军已经两年了。
has joined已经加入; has been in已经在……里面;joined加入;has been已经是。根据时间标志词“for two years”可知,本句为现在完成时,且谓语动词需要使用延续性动词;join意为“加入”,属于短暂性动词,不能和表示一段时间的状语连用,要转换为延续性短语be in;主语He为第三人称单数,现在完成时用has been in,故填has been in。
12. The movie is ________ than that one.
A. more exciting B. more excited C. exciting D. most exciting
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:这部电影比那部更令人兴奋。
根据句中的“than”可知本句要用比较级,主语the movie是事物,要用exciting的比较级more exciting,more excited用来修饰人,exciting是原级,most exciting是最高级,均不符合。
13. I don’t know ________ to do next.
A. what B. how C. why D. when
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:我不知道接下来做什么。
what什么;how怎样;why为什么;when什么时候。空格后动词do是及物动词,后面缺少宾语,what可以作宾语,构成what to do,意为“做什么”;how是副词,不能作do的宾语;why和when语义不通,应选what。
14. —Must I finish my homework now?
—No, you ________.
A. needn’t B. mustn’t C. can’t D. shouldn’t
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我现在必须完成作业吗?——不,你不必。
needn’t不必;mustn’t禁止;can’t不能;shouldn’t不应该。must引导的一般疑问句,其否定回答通常用needn’t或don’t have to,表示“不必”,而mustn’t表示“禁止”。故选A。
15. He didn’t go to school ________ he was ill.
A. because B. so C. but D. although
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:他没有去上学,因为他病了。
because因为;so所以;but但是;although虽然。根据句意可知,生病是没去上学的原因,引导原因状语从句应用because。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要针对学生觉得英语难学的问题,提出了阅读、不怕犯错、英语思维及寓教于乐等四条实用建议。
【16题详解】
句意:他们花很多时间学习语法规则和记忆新单词。
根据固定搭配:spend time (in) doing sth.,可知spend后接动名词形式,应用studying。study“学习”(原形);to study“学习”(不定式);studied“学习”(过去式),均不符合语法结构。
【17题详解】
句意:事实上,如果你找到正确的方法,学习英语可以是有趣的。
根据前文“difficult”及后文建议可知,此处表示转折,强调学习可以变得轻松好玩,侧重情感享受,结合全文“enjoy”主题,应用fun。boring“无聊的”;interesting“有趣的”,侧重智力趣味;difficult“困难的”,均不符。
【18题详解】
句意:首先,尝试每天读英语。
根据后文“Just read something...Reading helps...”可知,本段主要建议阅读,应用read。speak“说”;write“写”;listen“听”,均不符。
【19题详解】
句意:你不需要花几个小时在课本上。
根据“spend time on sth.”固定搭配,可知在某事上花时间,应用介词on。at“在……处”;with“和……一起”;for“为了”,均不符。
【20题详解】
句意:阅读帮助你理解句子是如何构成的。
根据语境,句子是由单词构建而成的结构,“built”形象地表达了句子的构建过程。made“制作”;formed“形成”;created“创造”,均不符。
【21题详解】
句意:其次,不要害怕犯错误。
根据后文“afraid of speaking”及“Don’t be afraid”可知,此处指不要害怕,应用afraid。happy“快乐的”;ready“准备好的”;willing“愿意的”,逻辑均不符。
【22题详解】
句意:你练习得越多,你就会变得越好。
根据“The+比较级..., the+比较级...”句型,可知此处需用比较级,应用better。good“好的”(原级);best“最好的”(最高级);well“好地”(副词),均不符。
【23题详解】
句意:试着在心里说出它的英文名字。
根据宾语“its English name”,表示说出具体内容应用say。tell“告诉”,后面常接人;speak“讲”,接语言;talk“谈话”,不及物动词,均不符。
【24题详解】
句意:例如,当你看见一个苹果时,直接想“apple”,而不是先去想中文“苹果”。
根据语境,要用英语直接思维,避免中文翻译,更突出两件行为之间的对比替换关系,应用instead of。with“带有”;without“没有;by“通过”,语义均不符。
【25题详解】
句意:最后,让学习英语变得有趣。
根据后文“If you enjoy...”可知,要让学习变得enjoyable,应用fun。boring“无聊的”;difficult“困难的”;hard“困难的”,逻辑均不符。

Do you want to be a good language learner? Here are some tips from successful language learners.
First, set clear goals. Don’t just say “I want to learn English.” Instead, say “I want to be able to read a short story in English by the end of this month.” Clear goals help you stay focused and motivated.
Second, be consistent. It is better to study for 30 minutes every day than to study for three hours once a week. Regular practice helps your brain form strong connections and remember what you learn.
Third, use different methods. Don’t just read textbooks. Watch videos, listen to podcasts, talk to native speakers, and write in a journal. Different methods activate different parts of your brain and make learning more effective.
Fourth, don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Many people feel embarrassed when they make grammar or pronunciation mistakes. But mistakes are actually your best teachers. Every mistake you make is a chance to improve.
Finally, enjoy the process. Learning a language is not just about passing exams. It is about opening doors to new cultures, new friends, and new opportunities. If you enjoy what you are doing, success will come naturally.
31. The writer suggests setting ________ goals.
A. big B. clear C. easy D. long-term
32. How long does the writer suggest studying every day?
A. 10 minutes B. 30 minutes C. 1 hour D. 3 hours
33. Which of the following is mentioned as a good method?
A. Reading textbooks only B. Watching videos C. Copying words D. Taking tests
34. According to the passage, mistakes are ________.
A. embarrassing B. useless C. your best teachers D. dangerous
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How to pass English exams B. Tips for being a good language learner
C. Why English is difficult D. How to make friends
【答案】31. B 32. B 33. B 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了成为优秀语言学习者的几条实用建议,包括设定清晰目标、坚持每日练习、使用多种学习方法、不怕犯错以及享受学习过程。
【31题详解】
第二段第一句明确提到:“First, set clear goals.”,因此作者建议设定“清晰的”目标。
【32题详解】
第三段第二句指出:“It is better to study for 30 minutes every day than to study for three hours once a week.”,说明作者建议每天学习30分钟。
【33题详解】
第四段中提到多种方法,包括“Watch videos, listen to podcasts, talk to native speakers, and write in a journal.”,其中“Watch videos”被明确列为好方法,而“Reading textbooks only”与原文“Don’t just read textbooks”相悖。
【34题详解】
第五段第三句明确说:“But mistakes are actually your best teachers.”,因此错误是“最好的老师”。
【35题详解】
全文开头即点明主旨:“Here are some tips from successful language learners.”,并围绕如何成为好的语言学习者展开,并非仅关于考试或英语难度。

Our teachers are kind and helpful too. My English teacher, Miss Chen, is my favorite. She always encourages us to speak English in class and makes the lessons interesting. She told us that the best way to learn English is to use it every day.
I joined the school’s English club. We meet every Friday afternoon. Last week, we had an English debate competition. It was my first time to join a debate, and I was nervous at first. But with my teammates’ help, our team won second place! I was so proud.

What makes a good teacher? Different people have different answers. But most people agree that a good teacher should have the following qualities.
First, a good teacher should be knowledgeable. He or she should know the subject well and be able to explain it clearly. Students respect teachers who can answer their questions confidently.
Second, patience is very important. Every student learns at a different speed. Some students need more time to understand a concept. A good teacher never gets angry or impatient with slow learners. Instead, he or she finds different ways to help each student.
Third, a good teacher should be caring. He or she should care about students’ feelings and problems, not just their grades. When a student is going through a difficult time, a caring teacher can make a big difference.
Finally, a good teacher should have a sense of humor. Learning is more enjoyable when the teacher can make students laugh. Humor helps create a relaxed atmosphere in the classroom and makes students want to learn more.

Do you want to be a good language learner? Here are some tips from successful language learners.
First, set clear goals. Don’t just say “I want to learn English.” Instead, say “I want to be able to read a short story in English by the end of this month.” Clear goals help you stay focused and motivated.
Second, be consistent. It is better to study for 30 minutes every day than to study for three hours once a week. Regular practice helps your brain form strong connections and remember what you learn.
Third, use different methods. Don’t just read textbooks. Watch videos, listen to podcasts, talk to native speakers, and write in a journal. Different methods activate different parts of your brain and make learning more effective.
Fourth, don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Many people feel embarrassed when they make grammar or pronunciation mistakes. But mistakes are actually your best teachers. Every mistake you make is a chance to improve.
Finally, enjoy the process. Learning a language is not just about passing exams. It is about opening doors to new cultures, new friends, and new opportunities. If you enjoy what you are doing, success will come naturally.
31. The writer suggests setting ________ goals.
A. big B. clear C. easy D. long-term

Dear Li Ming,
How are you? I’m writing to tell you about my new school life in Daqing. I transferred to a new school this semester. It is called Daqing No. 1 Middle School. The school is big and beautiful, with a large playground, a library, and two teaching buildings.
My classmates are very friendly. They helped me get used to the new environment quickly. My best friend here is Wang Lei. He sits next to me and often helps me with my math. We play basketball together after school.
Our teachers are kind and helpful too. My English teacher, Miss Chen, is my favorite. She always encourages us to speak English in class and makes the lessons interesting. She told us that the best way to learn English is to use it every day.
I joined the school’s English club. We meet every Friday afternoon. Last week, we had an English debate competition. It was my first time to join a debate, and I was nervous at first. But with my teammates’ help, our team won second place! I was so proud.
How is everything going with you? Please write back soon and tell me about your school life.
Yours,
Zhang Wei
