A.HerB.HisC.ItsD.Your

【答案】A

考查形容詞性物主代詞的用法。Her她的；HiS他的；ItS它的；YoUr你的，你們的。根據(jù)

“mysisterw可知，這里應(yīng)用形容詞性物主代詞“her”修飾名詞“name”。故選A。

A.atB.inC.onD.to

【答案】C

to到?！癋ebruary1st”是具體的時(shí)間，用Ono故選Co

3.Hurryup,youwillmisstheschoolbus.

A.orB.butC.andD.so

【答案】Λ

【解析】

【分析】

【詳解】句意：快點(diǎn)，否則你會(huì)錯(cuò)過校車的。

考查連詞辨析。Or否則；but但是；and和；So因此。根據(jù)uHurryup,...youwillmissthe

schoolbus."可知，不快點(diǎn)就會(huì)錯(cuò)過校車，強(qiáng)調(diào)一種否定的條件。故選A。

4.IthinkLuXunisoneofwritersinChina.

A.greatB.greaterC.greatestD.the

greatest

【答案】D

【解析】

【分析】

【詳解】句意：我認(rèn)為魯迅是中國最偉大的作家之一。

考查形容詞最高級(jí)。"oneofthe+形容詞最高級(jí)+名詞復(fù)數(shù)”表示“最……之一”，空處用

形容詞最高級(jí)，且形容詞最高級(jí)前要加the,故選D。

5.—Ireturnthisbooktothelibrarytoday?

—No,youneedn,t.Youcanreturnittomorrow.

A.CanB.MayC.MustD.Need

考查動(dòng)詞辨析和一般疑問句。Can可以；May也許；Must必須；Need需要。根據(jù)答語“No,you

needn't.”可知，此處應(yīng)用must進(jìn)行提問，故選C。

6.TheywillhaveatriptotheGreatWallifitnextSunday.

A.doesn,tsnowB.won,tsnowC.didn,tsnowD.isn,t

snowing

【答案】A

【解析】

【詳解】句意：如果下星期日不下雪，他們將去長城旅行。此處是if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句，

遵循“主將從現(xiàn)”的原則，故答案為A。

點(diǎn)睛：if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句，當(dāng)主句是一般將來時(shí)，從句用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)表示將來的含義，

就是我們常說的“主將從現(xiàn)"，unless也有類似的用法，unless作為連詞引導(dǎo)條件狀語從

句時(shí)，可以表示"如果不”或“除非"，unless=ifnot,如：Wewillgototheparkif

itdoesn,traintomorrow.可以改寫為：Wewillgototheparkunlessitrains

tomorrow.

7.We_______inthesameschoolsincethreeyearsago.

A.arestudyingB.havestudiedC.willstudyD.study

【答案】B

【解析】

【詳解】句意：我們從三年前就在同一所學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)。SinCethreeyearsago自從3年前，

表示的是截止到目前為止的時(shí)間段，用于現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)態(tài)的句子中，故答案為B。

點(diǎn)睛：SinCe的用法：譯作“自從…以來”，（1）接時(shí)間點(diǎn)：如Ihavestayedinthatcountry

since1995.要求：謂v.用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，而且須是延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞。（2）接一段時(shí)間+ago：如

Theyhavelivedinthathousesincetwoyearsago.要求：謂V.用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，而且

須是延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞。（3）接時(shí)間狀語從句:如IhavelovedhersinceImetherlasttime.

/Lilyhasstayedathomesincesheleftschool.要求：主句的謂v.用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，

而且須是延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞；從句的謂V.用一般過去時(shí)，而且須是終止性動(dòng)詞。

總之，SinCe用作介詞的簡單句，時(shí)態(tài)為現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)；SinCe用作連詞，引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句，

從句用一般過去時(shí)，而主句用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。

8.—Mum,whereisDad?

一Heanewspaperinthebedroomnow.

A.readB.readsC.willreadD.is

reading

【詳解】句意：我的同學(xué)上周末在科學(xué)博物館做志愿者。

考查一般過去時(shí)。根據(jù)時(shí)間狀語“l(fā)astweekend"可知，時(shí)態(tài)為一般過去時(shí)，故選B。

10.—Whatwereyoudoingwhenwewereplayingbasketballyesterdayafternoon?

-Itheclassroom.

A.cleanB.havecleanedC.willcleanD.was

cleaning

【答案】D

【解析】

【詳解】句意：一一昨天下午我們打籃球時(shí)你在干什么？一一我正在打掃教室。

考查時(shí)態(tài)辨析。根據(jù)"WhatwereyoudoingwhenWewereplayingbasketballyesterday

afternoon?"可知問句主句用過去進(jìn)行時(shí)，答句也用過去進(jìn)行時(shí)，此處表示“昨天下午當(dāng)你

們在打籃球時(shí)我正在打掃教室”。故選D。

A.useB.usedC.areusedD.were

used

考查一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)。根據(jù)“Now”可知，時(shí)態(tài)是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，主語ComPUterS是動(dòng)

作USe的承受者，所以是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)。故選C。

上文賓語從句用一般將來時(shí)，故選A。
