She sings.B. He is singing.C. They sang.Answer: BExplanation: The present continuous tense is formed using the auxiliary verb “be” (in its appropriate form) followed by the present participle (verb + -ing). “She sings” is in the simple present tense. “He is singing” is in the present continuous tense, as it uses “is” (auxiliary verb) and “singing” (present participle). “They sang” is in the past simple tense.3.Select the sentence that uses the correct preposition:A. The book is on the table.B. The book is in the table.C. The book is at the table.Answer: AExplanation: The preposition “on” is used to indicate that something is positioned above and in contact with a surface. In this case, “The bookis on the table” is correct because the book is resting on top of the table. “In” would imply that the book is inside the table, which is not the intended meaning. “At” is not typically used to describe the position of an object on a flat surface.4、 What is the capital city of the United States?A. New YorkB. Washington D.C.C. Los AngelesD. ChicagoAnswer: BExplanation: Washington D.C. is the capital city of the United States where the government is located. New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago are all major cities in the U.S., but not the capital.5、 Which of the following is a verb?A. BookB. RunC. TableD. AppleAnswer: BExplanation: A verb is a word that describes an action, state of being, or occurrence. “Run” is a verb as it describes an action. “Book”, “Table”, and “Apple” are nouns, which are words that name people, places, things,or ideas.6、 How many days are there in a week?A. 5B. 6C. 7D. 8Answer: CExplanation: A week consists of seven days, typically named Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Therefore, the answer is 7 days.7、Choose the correct word to compl ete the sentence: “My cat likesto_______on the soft blanket.”A. lieB. layingC. layAnswer: AExplanation: The verb “lie” is used to describe the action of resting or being in a horizontal position, especially to relax or sleep. In this context, “My cat likes to lie on the soft blanket” means the cat enjoys resting on the blanket. “Lay” is a transitive verb, meaning to put something down or place something, and “laying” is its present participle form. Therefore, options B and C are incorrect as they do not fit the context of the sentence.8、Which of the following is a synonym for “happy”?A. SadB. AngryC. JoyfulAnswer: CExplanation: A synonym is a word that has a similar meaning to another word. “Happy” means feeling pleased, contented, or joyful. “Joyful” is a synonym for “happy” as it also conveys a sense of pleasure and contentment. “Sad” means feeling unhappy or sorrowful, and “angry” means feeling resentful and annoyed, so they are not synonyms for “happy”.9、Which preposition should be use d to complete the sentence: “She is sitting_______the table.”A. inB. atC. onAnswer: CExplanation: Prepositions are used to show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence. In this sentence, “She is sitting_______the ta ble,” the correct preposition to use is “on” because it indicates that the person is sitting on top of the table. “In” would be used to describe being inside something, and “at” is more commonly used to indicate a location or position near something. There fore, “on” is themost appropriate preposition to use in this sentence.10、Choose the correct word to complete the sentence: I like to read books about _______.A. cookB. cooksC. cookingD. cookedAnswer: CExplanation: “Cooking” is the correct form here because it refers to the activity of preparing food, which is a noun derived from the verb “to cook”. “Cook” is a verb, “cooks” is the third-person singular present tense of the verb, and “cooked” is the past tense and past participle of the verb, none of which fit in this sentence context.11、Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?A. She go to the park every weekend.B. He do his homework every night.C. We have an English class every Monday.D. They watches TV every evening.Answer: CExplanation: “We have an English class every Monday” is the grammatically correct sentence. It uses the correct verb form “have” for the subject “we” and the correct plural form of the noun “class”. “She goes to thepark every weekend” (uses “goes” instead of “go”), “He does his homework every night” (uses “does” instead of “do”), and “They watch TV every evening” (uses “watch” instead of “watches”) are the corrected versions of the other options.12、Which word best completes the sentence: I prefer to_____at home thango out.A. stayB. staysC. stayingD. stayedAnswer: AExplanation: “Stay” is the correct verb form to use in this sentence because it follows the infinitive form “to” and matches the subject “I”.The other options are verb forms that do not match the grammatical structure of the sentence. “Stays” is the third-person singular present tense, “staying” is the present participle, and “stayed” is the past tense and past participle.三、完型填空（10分）Cloze Test (Grade 4, First Semester, English, Guangdong Province)Passage:Last summer, I went on a trip to the beach with my family.

The evenings are cool and inviting, perfect for snuggling up with a good book or taking a leisurely stroll under the starlit sky.Moreover, autumn brings a host of delightful activities.

In the evenings, we gather around a bonfire, roasting marshmallows and sharing stories, creating cherished memories that linger long after the season has passed.Autumn also holds a special memory for me. It was during this season that I first learned to ride a bike, with my father patiently holding the back of my seat until I gained confidence. The feeling of freedom and accomplishment as I pedaled down the street, leaves crunching beneath my wheels, remains etched in my mind as one of the happiest moments of my childhood.In conclusion, autumn is more than just a season; it is a feeling, a state of mind.
