Therefore, “going” is the correct choice.2、If I__________(be) you, I would take a different approach to the problem.A. amB. wereC. beD. beingAnswer: B. wereExplanation: This sentence is an example of the subjunctive mood, which is used to express a hypothetical situation. The correct form of the verb in this context is “were,” not “am” or “be.” “Being” would be incorrect because it is not the correct form for the subjunctive mood.3、The teacher__________(1) us a lot of interesting stories last night.a) toldb) has toldc) tellsd) will tellAnswer: a) toldExplanation: The sentence is in the simple past tense, indicating an action that happened in the past. “Told” is the simple past form of the verb “tell,” so option a) is the correct choice.4、If I__________(1) you, I would never do that.a) wereb) bec) wasd) amAnswer: a) wereExplanation: The sentence is a conditional statement in the past conditional mood, which is used to express a situation that is not true or not likely to happen. “Were” is the past subjunctive form of “be,” so option a) is the correct choice.5.The book,_______on the table, has been there for hours.A. layingB. laidC. layD. lyingAnswer: DExplanation: The phrase “has been there for hours” indicates a present state, so the correct past participle form to use with “has been” is “lying,” which is the present participle form of “lie.” Therefore, the correct answer is “lying.”6.She was so tired that she_______to sleep on the couch.A. fellB. fell downC. fell asleepD. fell inAnswer: CExplanation: The correct phrase to express someone fa lling asleep is “fell asleep.” The other options do not convey the correct meaning. “Fell” on its own is incomplete, “fell down” could imply a fall but does not mean falling asleep, and “fell in” is not relevant to the context of falling asleep.7.The___________(be) of the book is very interesting, and it has been highly recommended by many readers.Answer: TheExplanation: The correct answer is “The” because it is used as a definite article to refer to a specific book mentioned earlier in the text or known toboth the speaker and the listener.8.If you___________(be) in my position, what would you do in this difficult situation?Answer: wereExplanation: The correct answer is “were” because the sentence is in the conditional perfect tense, which is used to express a hypothetical past situation. The structure is “if + past perfect, would have + past participle,” but since the question is in the present tense, we use “were” instead of “had been.”9.The students in our class, _, enjoy playing sports.A. both of whomB. all of whomC. either of whomD. none of whomAnswer: B. all of whomExplanation: The correct answer is “all of whom” because the phrase “The students in our class” is referring to a group of students, and the sentence implies that all of them enj oy playing sports. “Both of whom” would imply only two students, “either of whom” would imply at least two students but not necessarily all, and “none of whom” would imply that none of the students enjoy playing sports, which contradicts the sentence.10.If I had known about the sale, I____________a new dress for my sister.A. would have boughtB. would buyC. have boughtD. will buyAnswer: A. would have boughtExplanation: The correct answer is “would have bought” because the sentence is in the conditional perfect tense, which is used to express a past condition and its resulting past perfect consequence. The structure “If I had known” is in the past perfect, so the consequence “I would have bought” uses the past perfect to indicate that the action of buying the dress was not realized due to the lack of knowledge about the sale. The other options do not correctly match the tense and context of the sentence.五、简答题(本大题有5小题,每小题2分,共10分)1、What are the main differences between present simple and present continuous tenses?Answer:1.Present simple is used to describe habitual actions or general truths, while present continuous is used to describe actions that are currently happening or in progress.2.Present simple is not used with time expressions like “always,” “usually,” “often,” etc., while present continuous can be used with such time expressions.3.Present simple is often used with frequency adverbs like “every day,” “sometimes,” “rarely,” etc., whereas present continuous is not typically used with these adverbs.Explanation:The question asks for the main differences between the present simple and present continuous tenses. The answer provides three distinct differences between the two tenses, which include the use in describing habitual actions versus actions in progress, the use of time expressions, and the frequency adverbs that are appropriate for each tense. This response gives a comprehensive overview of the differences between the two tenses.2、How do you form the negative form of a sentence in the past simple tense?Answer:1.To form the negative form of a sentence in the past simple tense, you use the auxiliary verb “did” followed by “not” (dn’t).2.If the main verb is regular, you drop the -ed ending and add the past simple form of the verb.3.If the main verb is irregular, you use the correct past simple form of the verb.Explanation:This question asks about forming negative sentences in the past simple tense. The answer outlines the steps to form a negative sentence: using the auxiliary verb “did” with “not” (dn’t), adjusting the main verb according to its regularity, and using the correct past simple form of irregular verbs. Thisprovides a clear and concise guide on how to construct negative sentences in the past simple tense.3、What are the differences between a simple present tense and a present continuous tense in English grammar?Answer:The differences between a simple present tense and a present continuous tense in English grammar are as follows:1.Time: Simple present tense is used to describe habits, general truths, and unchanging situations, while the present continuous tense is used to describe actions or states that are currently happening.2.Aspect: Simple present tense does not show aspect (continuity or completion), whereas the present continuous tense emphasizes the ongoing nature of the action or state.3.Adverbs: The simple present tense can be accompanied by adverbs like always, often, usually, etc., while the present continuous tense often uses adverbs like now, just, currently, etc.4.Auxiliary verb: The simple present tense does not use an auxiliary verb, while the present continuous tense uses “am/is/are” as the auxiliary verb followed by the present participle of the verb.3、What are the uses of “will” and “would” in English grammar?Answer:The uses of “will” and “would” in English grammar are as follows: Will:1.Expressing future actions: “Will” is used to express future actions, plans, or decisions. For example: “I will go to the movies tonight.”2.Expressing a desire or intention: “Will” can be used to express a desire or intention. For example: “I will try my best to win the competition.”3.Offering help or assistance: “Will” can be used to offer help or assista nce. For example: “Can I help you with your homework?”4.Expressing a prediction: “Will” can be used to express a prediction about the future. For example: “It will rain tomorrow.”Would:1.Conditional sentences: “Would” is used in conditional sentences to express a hypothetical situation. For example: “If I had a million dollars, I would travel around the world.”2.Expressing politeness: “Would” can be used to express politeness in requests or offers. For example: “Would you please pass me the salt?”3.Exp ressing a past possibility: “Would” can be used to express a past possibility that was not realized. For example: “I would have won the game ifI had played better.”4.Expressing a wish or regret: “Would” can be used to express a wish or regret about the p ast. For example: “I wish I would have studied harder in school.”5、Explain the difference between “can” and “may” in terms of their usage and meaning.Answer: “Can” and “may” are both modal verbs used to express ability,permission, or possibility. However, there are some differences in their usage and meaning.•“Can” is used to express ability or skill. For example, “I can swim”means that the speaker is capable of swimming.•“May” is used to express permission or a polite request. For example, “May I come in?” means that the speaker is asking for permission to entera room.•“Can” can also be used to express possibility, although “may” is more commonly used in this context. For e xample, “It can rain tomorrow” means that there is a possibility of rain, whereas “It may rain tomorrow” is more common.•“May” can also express a level of possibility, especially when followed by a probability like “chance.” For example, “There’s a chance it may rain tomorrow” implies a higher probability of rain compared to“There’s a chance it can rain tomorrow.”•“Can” cannot be used in the negative form to express permission or politeness. For example, “I cannot go” means that the speaker is unable to go, not that they are not allowed to.•“May” can be used in the negative form to express permission or politeness. For example, “I may not go” means that the speaker is not allowed to go or is expressing uncertainty about going.Explanation: The key difference between “can” and “may” lies in their primary uses. “Can” is primarily about ability and permission, while “may” is primarily about permission。
