Answer:get

Explanation:本题考查动词的用法。句意：我要去北京度假。你能告诉我怎么去机场吗？howtodosth是固定结构，表示“如何做某事”，其中to是动词不定式的标志，后面跟动词原形。getto表示“到达”，是固定短语。因此，正确答案是get。2、Mr.

Smith,togetherwithhiswifeanddaughter,________toChinanextmonth.A.aregoingB.isgoingC.goD.goes

Answer:B

Explanation:本题考查主谓一致。题干的意思是：“史密斯先生和他的妻子还有女儿下个月_____中国。”

根据时间状语nextmonth可知，句子应用一般将来时，其结构是“will+动词原形”或“begoingtodosth”，而选项C“go”是动词原形，选项D“goes”是动词的第三人称单数形式，均可排除。本句的主语是Mr.Smith，togetherwithhiswifeanddaughter是介词短语作伴随状语，真正的主语是Mr.Smith，为单数第三人称，所以be动词应用is，isgoingtodosth意为“打算做某事”，选项B正确。3、Mybrotherusually________thesubwaytoschool.A.takesB.takeC.byD.taking

Answer:A

Explanation:本题考查主谓一致和固定搭配。题干的意思是：“我哥哥通常_____地铁去学校。”

根据句子结构可知，空白处需要作谓语动词，而选项C“by”是介词，选项D“taking”是动名词或现在分词，都不能作谓语动词，故可排除。又因为本句的主语“Mybrother”是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词也应使用第三人称单数形式，选项A“takes”是第三人称单数形式，符合题意，选项B“take”是动词原形，可排除。此外，takethesubwaytoschool是固定搭配，表示“乘地铁去学校”，所以选项A正确。4、Theflowers________(smell)sweetinthegardenattractthevisitorsalot.Answer:smellingExplanation:Thesentenceisusingapresentparticiple(gerund)asanadjectivetodescribetheflowers.Theflowersthataresmellingsweetinthegardenattractthevisitorsalot.Therefore,thecorrectformoftheverb“smell”is“smelling”.5、—Whatdoyouthinkofthemovie?

—Yes,I________(go)therelastsummer.Answer:wentExplanation:Thesentenceisaskingaboutapastexperience.Theadverb“lastsummer”indicatesthattheactionofgoingtoShanghaitookplaceinthepast.Therefore,thecorrectverbformisthepastsimpletenseof“go”,whichis“went”.7、—Whatapity!I________mynewmobilephoneonthebusjustnow.Don’tworry.I’llhelpyoufindit.A.leftB.forgotC.lostD.missedAnswer:AExplanation:Thesentencedescribestheactionofforgettingsomethinginaspecificlocation,whichistypicallyexpressedusing“left”inEnglish.“Forgot”referstoforgettingsomethingingeneral,notnecessarilyinaparticularplace.“Lost”indicatestheinabilitytofindsomething,butitdoesn’tnecessarilyimplyforgettingitinacertainlocation.“Missed”isusuallyusedformissingsomethingthathaspassed,likeabusorameeting,notforforgettingtotakesomethingwithyou.Therefore,“left”isthemostappropriateanswer.8、—Howisyourgrandma?She’sfine.Sheusedto________TVathomeaftersupper,butnowsheisusedto________outforawalk.A.watch;goB.watching;goingC.watch;goingD.watching;goAnswer:CExplanation:“Usedtodosomething”isastructureusedtodescribeapasthabitorregularactionthatisnolongertrue.Therefore,“watch”isusedinthefirstblank.“Beusedtodoingsomething”isastructurethatmeansbeingaccustomedtoaregularactivity.Here,“going”isusedinthesecondblanktocompletethephrase“isusedtogoingoutforawalk.”9、Idon’tknowifit________tomorrow.Ifit________,wewon’tgohiking.A.rains;rainsB.willrain;rainsC.rains;willrainD.willrain;willrainAnswer:BExplanation:Inthefirstblank,thesentenceisaskingaboutafutureevent,so“willrain”isusedtoindicatethepossibilityofraininthefuture.Inthesecondblank,thesentenceisusingtheconditionaltense“Ifitrains,”whichisapresenttenseconditionreferringtoafutureresult.Therefore,“rains”isusedherewithoutthefuturemarker“will.”

10、—Shealwayslistenstomusic_____lunchtime.Soshedoes.A.inB.atC.onD.toAnswer:BExplanation:此题考查时间介词。题干意思是：“——她总是在_____午餐时间听音乐。——她确实这样。”in+一段时间，表示一段时间以后，常用于将来时态；at+时间点，表示在具体某一点钟；on+具体某一天，表示在具体某一天；to一般不直接加时间词。根据题干可知lunchtime是一个时间点，应该用介词at，因此，本题答案是：B.at。五、简答题（本大题有5小题，每小题2分，共10分）Question:
