Do you has a pen?Answer: CExplanation: Option A uses the incorrect verb form “have” for the t hird-person singular subject “she.” The correct form would be “has.” Option B uses the incorrect contraction “don’t” for the third-person singular subject “he.” The correct contraction would be “doesn’t.” Option D uses the incorrect verb form “has” after the auxiliary verb “do.” The correct form would be “have.” Option C is grammatically correct, with the subject “we” correctly paired with the verb form “are” and the prepositional phrase “by bike” correctly indicating the mode of transportation.7、What is t he correct way to spell the word “because”?A)becozB)becozeC)bczD)becauseAnswer: D) becauseExplanation: The correct spelling of the word “because” is “because,” which is the standard form used in English writing.8、Which sentence uses the word “since” correct ly?A)She has lived in this city since yesterday.B)I have known him since last week.C)We should leave now, since it is already midnight.D)He has finished his work, since he is eating.Answer: C) We should leave now, since it is already midnight.Explanation: Th e word “since” is used to indicate a point in time from which something has been true or in existence.

Given the context“before going to bed,” the most appropriate action is to remove clothes, hence “takes off” is the correct answer.10、Which sentence is grammatically correct?A.

Very big the cat I saw yesterday.Answer: AExplanation: Sentence A, “The cat that I saw yesterday is very big,” is grammatically co rrect. It uses a relative clause (“that I saw yesterday”) to modify “the cat” and employs the correct adjective “big” to describe the cat’s size. Sentence B uses “bigly” incorrectly as an adjective; “bigly” is not a standard adjective in English. Sentence C is incomplete and lacks a verb. Sentence D has an incorrect word order, as adjectives typically precede the noun they modify in English.11.Which of the following words is the opposite of “hot”?A) coldB) warmC) coolD) hotAnswer: A) coldExplanation: The opposite of “hot” is “cold,” as “hot” refers tosomething that is very warm, while “cold” refers to something that is not warm or is very cool.12.Choose the correct verb form to complete the sentence: “Theteacher_______us a story every day.”A)tellB)tellsC)tellingD)toldAnswer: B) tellsExplanation: The correct verb form to use in the sentence is the present simple tense, which is “tells.” This is because the action of the teacher telling a story happens every day.三、完型填空（10分）Section III: Cloze TestRead the following passage and choose the best word(s) for each blank.

TPO11 Lecture 3 Environmental scienceProfessor：When land gets develop for human use, the landscape changes. We don’t see as many types of vegetation, trees, grasses and so forth. This in turn leads to other losses: the loss of animal that once lived there. Err…but these are the obvious changes, but there are also less obvious changes like the climate.One interesting case of this…of…of changes in the local land use causing changes in climate, specifically the temperature is in Florida. Now what comes to mind when you think of the state of Florida?Student A：Sunshine, beaches.Student B：Warm weather, oranges…Professor：Yes, exactly. Florida has long had a great citric industry; large growth of oranges, lemons and the like. Florida’s winter is very mild; the temperature doesn’t often get below freezing. But there are some areas in Florida that do freeze. So in the early 1900s, farmers moved even further south in Florida, to areas that were even less likely to freeze. Obviously, freezing temperatures are danger to the crops. A bad barrier of cold weather, a long spell of frosts could ruin a farm and the entire crop, anyway, before these citric growers moved south, much of the land in south Florida, was what we called wetlands.Wetlands are areas of marshy, swampy land, areas where water covers thesoil, or is present either at or near the surface of the soil for large part of the year. Wetlands have their own unique ecosystem, with plants and animals with special an interesting adaptation. Very exciting, but it’s not what we are talking about today. Emm…where was I?Student A：Farmers moved south?Professor：Oh, yes. Farmers moved south. But the land was not suitable for farming. You can’t grow orange in wetland, so farmers had to transform the wetlands into lands suitable for farming. To do that, you have to drain the water from theland,move the water elsewhere, and divert to the water sources such as rivers. Hundreds of miles of drainage canals were built in the wetlands. Now these areas, the new areas the farmers moved to, used to be warm and unlikely to freeze, however, recently the area has become susceptible to freezes. And we are trying to understand why.Student B：Is it some global temperature change or weather pattern like El Ni?o or something?Professor：Well, there are two theories. One idea is as you suggested that major weather patterns, something like El Ni?o, are responsible. But the other idea and this is the one that I personally subscribe to, is of the changes in the temperature pattern had been brought about by the loss of wetlands.Student A：Well, how would the loss of wetlands make a difference?Professor：Well, think about what we’ve been studying so far. We discussed the impact of landscapes on temperature, right? What affects does the body of water have on an area?Student A：Oh, yeah. Bodies of water tend to absorb the heat during the day, and then they release the heat at night.Professor：Yes, exactly. What you just said is what I want you all to understand. Bodies of water release heat and moisture backinto the environment. So places near large bodies of water are generally milder, err...slightly warmer than those without water. And what I, another think is that the loss of the wetlands has created the situation where the local temperatures in the area are not slightly different, slightly colder than they were 100 years ago, before the wetland were drained.Student B：Emm…do we know what the temperature was like back then?Professor：Well, we were able to estimate this. We have data about South Florida’s current landscape, emm…the plant cover. And we were able to reconstruct data about the landscape prior to 1900. Then we enter those data, information about what the landscape look like before and after the wetlands weredrained.We enter the data into a computer weather model. This model can predict temperatures. And when all the data were entered, an overall cooling trend was predicted by the model.Student B：How much colder does it get now?Professor：Well, actually the model shows a drop of only a few degrees Celsius. But this is enough to cause dramatic damage to crops. If temperatures over night are already very close to the freezing point, then this drop of just a few degrees can take the temperature below freezing. And freezing causes frosts, which kill crops. These damaging frosts wouldn’t happen if the wetlands were still in existence, just as the tiny temperature difference can have major consequences.《环境科学》教授：当土地发展到适应人类使用，景色就发生了变化。
