一、单词拼写
1. Peter, please before blowing out the candles. (许愿)
【答案】make a wish
【解析】句意:彼得,请在吹灭蜡烛前许个愿。“许愿”的英语是make a wish。本句是祈使句,动词短语用原形。
2. How can I (联系) you?
【答案】contact
【解析】句意:我怎么联系你呢?根据汉语提示,contact表示“联系”,是一个动词,因为前面有情态动词can,后跟动词原形。故填contact。
3. He lives in a small (村庄) with his grandparents.
【答案】village
【解析】句意:他和他的祖父母住在一个小村庄里。根据括号内的汉语提示“村庄”及small可知,此处应填入对应的名词。village意为“村庄”,是可数名词,前面有不定冠词a修饰,应填入单数名词。故填village。
4. , remember to bring your English book to school. (下次)
【答案】Next time
【解析】句意:下次,记得把你的英语书带到学校来。根据汉语提示“下次”可知,next time“下次”,名词短语作时间状语,位于句首需大写。故填Next time。
5. The flowers in the garden (成长) very well in spring.
【答案】grow
【解析】句意:花园里的花在春天生长得非常好。空格处在句中作谓语,本句描述季节性的客观规律,用一般现在时;句子主语The flowers是复数名词,“成长”对应的英文动词为grow,一般现在时中复数主语后的谓语动词用原形。
6. We (吹) out the candles after making wishes yesterday.
【答案】blew
【解析】句意:我们许完愿后吹灭了蜡烛。根据汉语提示可知,“吹”的英文为blow,动词,blow out为固定短语,意为“吹灭”,根据时间状语“yesterday”可知,时态为一般过去时,谓语动词需用过去式。故填blew。
7. Emma likes her birthday because she can the candles and make a sweet wish. (吹灭)
【答案】blow out
【解析】句意:艾玛喜欢她的生日,因为她可以吹灭蜡烛并许下美好的愿望。“吹灭”对应的英文短语是“blow out”,空格位于情态动词can之后,用动词原形。
8. Jane, could you p (邮寄) this letter for me?
【答案】post##ost
【解析】句意:简,你能帮我邮寄这封信吗?post“邮寄”符合语境,是动词,句中could是情态动词,情态动词后接动词原形。
9. (who) are they preparing the party for?
【答案】Whom
【解析】句意:他们正在为谁准备派对?根据句子结构可知,这是一个特殊疑问句,且“for”为介词,其后需接宾语。who“谁”,为主格形式,其宾格形式为whom,在句子中作宾语。故填Whom。
10. History is very (mean), so we must learn it well.
【答案】meaningful
【解析】句意:历史很有意义,所以我们必须学好它。根据“History is very”可知,横线处需填形容词,mean“意味着”,动词,其形容词形式为meaningful,表示“有意义的”。故填meaningful。
11. My mother marks my on the wall of my bedroom every year. (high)

12. My family watching movies on weekends. (enjoy)
【答案】enjoy
【解析】句意:我的家人在周末喜欢看电影。句中描述一般事实,应用一般现在时,主语“My family”指家里的每个成员,是复数概念,括号内所给词为“enjoy”,应用其原形,故填enjoy。
13. Twenty minutes (late), she will come with Ann.
【答案】later
【解析】句意:二十分钟后,她将和Ann一起来。根据后半句“she will come with Ann”为一般将来时,可推断前半句表示“二十分钟之后”;括号内的late需变形为副词later,构成“时间段+later”的固定表达,表示“多久之后”。later符合语境。
14. A big (celebrate) will be held in our school to mark the 100th anniversary next week.
【答案】celebration
【解析】句意:下周我们学校将举行盛大的庆祝活动来纪念100周年。celebrate“庆祝”,动词;根据“A big ... will be held”可知,此处应填名词作主语,celebration“庆祝活动”,可数名词,由“A big...”可知,此处用单数形式。故填celebration。
二、完成句子
1. 带上你的照相机以便拍摄秋天的树木。
Bring your camera so you can the autumn trees.
【答案】① take ② photos ③ of
【解析】“拍摄……的照片”英文表达为take a photo/photos of…;情态动词can后加动词原形。故填take;photos;of。
2. 人们看着他慢慢地移动。
People him slowly.
【答案】① watched ② move
【解析】根据中英文对照可知,watch“观看”,move“移动”。根据语境可知,此处是一般过去时,故谓语动词watch用其过去式watched。watch sb. do sth.“观看某人做某事”。故填watched;move。
3. 吃长寿面是长寿的象征。

2. The 18th birthday is ________ for boys and girls in China.
