Answer:C

Explanation:题干中的句子表达的是“这首歌在收音机里被播放过很多次”，这暗示了一个从过去某一时间点开始到现在一直持续的动作，即“被播放”这一动作已经完成了多次，并对现在造成了影响（即“我”已经听过这首歌）。因此，这里需要使用现在完成时，且因为是被动语态，所以选项C“hasbeenplayed”是正确的。选项A是一般现在时的被动语态，表示经常发生的动作或存在的状态，不符合题意；选项B是一般过去时的被动语态，只表示过去某个时间点的动作，也不符合题意；选项D是过去完成时的被动语态，表示在过去某一时间点之前已经完成的动作，但题干中并没有明确的过去时间点的对比，所以也不符合题意。2、—Whyareyoustandinghere,Mrs.

White?I’mwaitingformyson.He_____backfromschool.A.hasn’tcomeB.didn’tcomeC.won’tcomeD.doesn’tcome

Answer:A

Explanation:题干中的句子表达的是“我正在等我的儿子，他还没有从学校回来”，这暗示了一个从过去某一时间点开始持续到现在并可能继续下去的动作的否定，即“没有回来”这一动作到现在为止还没有发生。因此，这里需要使用现在完成时的否定形式，即选项A“hasn’tcome”。选项B是一般过去时的否定形式，只表示过去某个时间点的动作没有发生，不符合题意；选项C是将来时的否定形式，表示将来某个时间点不会发生的动作，也不符合题意；选项D是一般现在时的否定形式，通常用于描述习惯性或经常性的动作，但题干中描述的是一个具体的、正在进行的等待动作，所以也不符合题意。3、Title:Fillintheblankwiththecorrectformoftheverbgiveninbrackets.Question:Thechildren________(play)footballintheparkwhenitstartedtorain.Answer:wereplayingExplanation:Thesentencedescribesanactionthatwashappeningataspecificmomentinthepast(whenitstartedtorain).Therefore,thepastcontinuoustenseisused,whichisformedby“was/were”+thepresentparticiple(playing)oftheverb.Sincethesubjectis“Thechildren”(plural),“were”isused.4、Title:Fillintheblankwiththeappropriatepreposition.Question:Sheisgoodat________(play)thepiano.Answer:playingExplanation:Thephrase“begoodat”isfollowedbyaverbinits-ingform(presentparticiple).Here,“playing”isthecorrectformtouseafter“at”toindicateherskillorproficiencyinplayingthepiano.Notethat“play”alonewouldnotbesuitableasitisaverbinitsbaseform,and“at”requiresanounoraverbinits-ingformtocompletethephrasecorrectly.5、Heissuchagoodboy_____alltheteacherslike.A.thatB.asC.whomD.who

Answer:B

Explanation:在这个句子中，我们需要一个关系代词来引导一个定语从句，修饰前面的先行词“boy”。由于该定语从句的谓语动词“like”后面缺少一个宾语，所以我们需要一个可以作宾语的关系代词。选项A“that”引导定语从句时，通常用于指代人或物，但在某些特定的结构中，如“such…that…”结构中，它不能作为关系代词使用。选项C“whom”和D“who”虽然都可以引导定语从句并作为关系代词使用，但它们通常用于指代人，并且在这个句子中，使用它们会导致句子结构不完整，因为“alltheteacherslike”后面缺少了被喜欢的对象。选项B“as”在这里是正确答案，因为它可以引导一个限制性定语从句，并在从句中作宾语，同时与前面的“such”形成“such…as…”结构，意为“如此……以至于……”。所以，正确答案是B。6、Thecityhasdevelopedrapidlyinrecentyears,andanewlibrary_____now.A.isbeingbuiltB.isbuiltC.wasbuiltD.hasbeenbuilt

Answer:A

Explanation:这个句子描述的是城市近年来的快速发展，并特别指出了一座新图书馆正在被建造。我们需要根据句子的时态和语境来选择正确的动词形式。选项A“isbeingbuilt”是现在进行时的被动语态，表示“正在被建造”，符合句意，因为句子描述的是当前正在发生的动作。选项B“isbuilt”是一般现在时的被动语态，但它表示的是经常性、习惯性的动作或状态，与句意不符。选项C“wasbuilt”是一般过去时的被动语态，表示过去的某个时间点被建造，但句子并没有强调过去的某个具体时间点，所以C不是最佳选项。选项D“hasbeenbuilt”是现在完成时的被动语态，表示动作已经完成并对现在产生影响，但句子并没有强调对现在的影响，所以D也不是最佳选项。因此，正确答案是A。7、—Doyouknowhowtoplaythepiano?Yes,butI_______thepianoforalongtime.A.haven’tplayedB.didn’tplayC.don’tplayD.hadn’tplayed

Answer:A

Explanation:Thecontextsuggeststhatthespeakerusedtoknowhowtoplaythepianobuthasn’tdonesoforawhile.Theuseof“foralongtime”indicatesacontinuousactioninthepastthathasstopped,whichisbestexpressedbythepresentperfecttense(have/has+pastparticiple).Amongtheoptions,only“haven’tplayed”isinthepresentperfecttense,hencethecorrectanswer.8、—HowwasyourtriptoJapan?Wonderful!I_______alotofdeliciousfoodthere.A.ateB.eatC.ameatingD.haveeaten

Answer:A

Explanation:Thequestionisaskingaboutapasttrip,sotheresponseshouldreflectactionsthatoccurredduringthattrip.Theuseof“alotofdeliciousfood”inthesentencesuggeststhattheeatinghappenedinthepast.Amongtheoptions,only“ate”isinthepasttense,whichisappropriatefordescribingactionsthatoccurredduringthepasttrip.9、Thebook,________isaboutBritishhistory,interestsmanystudents.A.whichB.itC.thatD.what

Answer:A

Explanation:本题考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，“Thebook”是先行词，空格处需要一个引导词来引导非限制性定语从句，并在从句中作主语。选项A“which”引导非限制性定语从句时，指代先前提到的事物或整个句子内容，在从句中充当成分，符合题意。选项B“it”不能用作定语从句的引导词，可排除。选项C“that”不能引导非限制性定语从句，可排除。选项D“what”不能引导定语从句，只能引导名词性从句，可排除。因此，本题的正确答案是A。10、Heoftengoestothegymthreetimesaweek,________helpshimkeepfit.A.whichB.thatC.whenD.where

Answer:A

Explanation:本题考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，“Heoftengoestothegymthreetimesaweek”是主句，空格处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰前面整个句子，并在从句中作主语。选项A“which”在定语从句中是一个关系代词，用于指代前面的整句话或句子的一部分，并在从句中作主语或宾语，符合题意。选项B“that”在定语从句中是一个关系代词，但它不能引导非限制性定语从句，故不选。选项C“when”是关系副词，通常用于指代时间，而本句中的先行词并非时间，故不选。选项D“where”也是关系副词，用于指代地点，同样不适用于本句。因此，本题的正确答案是A。五、简答题（本大题有5小题，每小题2分，共10分）Question:Whatisthefunctionofthearticle“the”inEnglishgrammar?Answer:Thefunctionofthearticle“the”inEnglishgrammaristospecifyaparticularnoun,indicatingthatthespeakerorwriterisreferringtoaspecific,known,orpreviouslymentionedinstanceofthatnoun.Itisadefinitearticle.Explanation:Thearticle“the”isusedtodenoteaspecificnoun,asopposedtotheindefinitearticles“a”or“an,”whichintroduceageneralconceptorclassofnouns.Forexample,“thecar”referstoaspecificcar,whereas“acar”referstoanycaringeneral.Question:WhatisthedifferencebetweenapresentparticipleandapastparticipleinEnglish?Answer:ThemaindifferencebetweenapresentparticipleandapastparticipleinEnglishistheirformandfunction.Apresentparticipleendsin“-ing”andfunctionsasanadjectiveorpartoftheprogressiveverbtense.Apastparticiple,ontheotherhand,isformedbyadding“-ed,”“-en,”“-t,”“-d,”orothersuffixes,andfunctionsasanadjective,partoftheperfectverbtense,orinpassivevoiceconstructions.Explanation:Presentparticiples,suchas“running”or“singing,”describeanactionthatishappeningnoworthatisongoing.Theycanalsobeusedasadjectivestodescribenouns,e.g.,“arunningriver.”Pastparticiples,like“run”(in“Ihaverun”)or“broken”(in“thebrokenwindow”),indicatecompletedactionsandcanbeusedtoformtheperfecttenses(e.g.,presentperfect,pastperfect)andthepassivevoice.3、Question:
