Last Saturday, a group of middle school volunteers worked together to clean up Green Park. When they arrived at 8:00 a.m., some students were sweeping the paths while others were picking up litter near the lake. Ten minutes later, the team leader, Li Ming, came with a big box of rubbish bags.
At first, the students were very tired because the park was much bigger than they had thought. However, they did not stop. "We hope to make the park clean and beautiful for the visitors," said Wang Mei, a girl from Grade 8. She also said, "Deciding to volunteer here is one of the best things we have ever done."
At noon, a park keeper asked them to help move the old benches to the square. They agreed to do it at once. As soon as they finished the work, a light rain started, so they had to stop and go home. But no one was unhappy. They all promised that they would come back next month.
What does the underlined word "it" in the third paragraph refer to?
- A. Picking up litter near the lake.
- B. Moving the old benches to the square.
- C. Sweeping the paths in the park.
- D. Giving the visitors rubbish bags.
答案:B
解析:本题考查代词指代,需结合上下文材料分析。第三段中 a park keeper asked them to help move the old benches to the square,随后说 They agreed to do it at once,其中 it 指的就是前面提到的搬旧长椅到广场这件事。易错点:有同学看到第一段的 sweeping、picking up litter 就选 A 或 C,但 those 是之前已经完成的活动,不是 it 所指;C、D 均为文中提及但与 it 无关。故选B。

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Last Friday, a news report on "Teenagers and Housework" caught people's attention. A school in Beijing asked 200 students about the housework they did at home every week. The results are shown below:
Housework Percentage of students
-------------------- ----------------------
Clean their own room 65%
Do the dishes 40%
Take out the rubbish 55%
Sweep the floor 30%
The report says that more students are willing to help their parents than before. However, some students still think housework is a waste of time. Miss Gao, a teacher, said, "Although the students are busy with their lessons, doing housework can teach them to be responsible. We hope parents can ask their children to help politely, for example, 'Could you please sweep the floor?' instead of ordering them."
According to the passage, which housework is done by the FEWEST students?
- A. Cleaning their own room
- B. Doing the dishes
- C. Taking out the rubbish
- D. Sweeping the floor
答案:D
解析:本题考查从表格中提取数据进行比较。四项数据分别是:打扫自己的房间 65%、洗碗 40%、倒垃圾 55%、扫地 30%。题目问 which housework is done by the FEWEST students(哪项家务由最少的学生做),要找百分比最小的一项,30% 最小,对应 sweep the floor(扫地)。易错点:一是被 largest 或 most 误导而选 A(65% 是最大值);二是看到 40% 就误选 B,未仔细比较大小。故选D。
3选择题
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Last Saturday, the students of Class 8 planned to clean the community park as part of a news program called "Green Weekend". While they were sweeping the paths, a reporter came up and asked them some questions. At noon, Li Ming said to Wang Hua, "Could you please take out the rubbish? The bin is already full." "Sure, no problem," Wang Hua answered with a smile. Another girl, Liu Mei, was doing the dishes in the small kitchen when her friend asked her for help. She said, "Sorry, I can't. I'm busy with the dishes now." The reporter wrote down their words and said, "You are really hard-working teenagers." Until they finished all the work, none of them left the park.
Which of the following sentences shows a polite request?
- A. "Could you please take out the rubbish?"
- B. "You must take out the rubbish now."
- C. "Sorry, I can't. I'm busy with the dishes now."
- D. "The bin is already full."
答案:A
解析:本题考查 Could you please + 动词原形 表示礼貌请求的句型。题干要求找出表示礼貌请求的句子。B 项用 must 命令语气太强,不是礼貌请求;C 项是拒绝的答语;D 项只是陈述事实。A 项 "Could you please take out the rubbish?" 符合 "Could you please + 动词原形" 的礼貌请求结构,take out 也是动词原形,没有误加 ing。故选A。易错点:一是误把表示拒绝或陈述事实的句子当作请求;二是受中文习惯影响,以为带 please 就是请求,而忽略了 Could you please 这一固定句型要求后接动词原形。
4填空题
根据短文内容,用括号内所给词的适当形式填空。
Dear Tom,
How is everything going? I'm writing to tell you about my busy but meaningful weekend. Yesterday morning, my mother asked me ______ (clean) my room before breakfast. She said, "Could you please ______ (sweep) the floor?" I answered, "Sure, no problem." Then my father said, "Could you please ______ (take) out the rubbish?" But I couldn't do it right away because I ______ (do) my homework at that time. I said, "Sorry, I can't. I ______ (finish) my work first." After that, I helped them ______ (do) the dishes and my parents were very happy.
In the afternoon, we went to the old people's home nearby. Many students decided ______ (volunteer) there. We hoped ______ (cheer) up the old people by singing songs. When we ______ (arrive), the old people were watching TV. As soon as they saw us, they stopped and clapped their hands. It was really a warm day.
Please write back soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
答案:(1) to clean (2) sweep (3) take (4) was doing (5) will finish (6) do (7) to volunteer (8) to cheer (9) arrived (10) stopped
(1) ask sb. to do sth.,故填 to clean。
(2) Could you please 后接动词原形,故填 sweep,不能填 sweeping。
(3) 同上,Could you please 后接动词原形,故填 take。
(4) at that time 提示动作正在进行,主语 I,故用过去进行时 was doing。
(5) 表示“先完成作业”,用一般将来时 will finish,与 can't do it right away 呼应。
(6) help sb. (to) do sth.,故填 do。
(7) decide to do sth.,故填 to volunteer。
(8) hope to do sth.,故填 to cheer。
(9) 主句为一般过去时,as soon as 引导的时间状语从句用一般过去时 arrived。
(10) 与 stopped 并列(stop and clap),由 As soon as 引导,用一般过去时 stopped。
解析:本题综合考查 Could you please + 动词原形、动词不定式作宾语/宾补、过去进行时与 as soon as 引导的时间状语从句。易错点:(1) please 后误加 -ing,写成 cleaning/sweeping,注意 Could you please 后必须用动词原形;(2) ask sb. to do、decide to do、hope to do 中漏掉 to,或误写成 doing;(3) help sb. (to) do 中 to 可省略,但不能写 doing;(4) at that time 应判断为过去正在进行,误用一般过去时 did 即错;(5) as soon as 引导的从句在叙述过去事件时用一般过去时,误用过去进行时 arrived 不行。另注意 Could you please...? 的肯定回答 Sure, no problem,否定回答 Sorry, I can't + 原因,回答时要保持礼貌。

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容用括号内所给词的适当形式填空,并回答文后问题。
Last Saturday, Class 2 of Sunshine Middle School started a "Help at Home" activity. The students made a chore chart and shared it online. Here is part of the chart:
Student Housework he/she did Time (minutes)
--------- -------------------- --------------
Li Ming swept the floor 15
Wang Lan did the dishes 10
Chen Hao took out the rubbish 5
Zhang Mei cleaned her room 25
Li Ming said, "Although I was a little tired, I felt happy because I could help my parents. My little sister is only six, but she also tried to help. She hurt ______ (she) when she was carrying a small box, so my mother asked her to be careful."
Wang Lan's mother was ill that day. Wang Lan washed the dishes ______ the kitchen could be clean before dinner. She said, "I wanted to make sure that my mother could have a good rest."
Chen Hao's father asked him, "______ you please take out the rubbish now?" Chen Hao answered, "Sure, no problem." He finished it in only five minutes.
According to the chart, Zhang Mei spent the ______ (long) time on housework among the four students.
Questions:
1. Fill in the three blanks with the correct forms of the words given or with proper words: (1) ______ (she); (2) ______; (3) ______.
2. Who spent the longest time on housework? How do you know?
3. Why did Wang Lan wash the dishes? Please answer in English.
4. Chen Hao's father asked, "Could you please take out the rubbish now?" Please give a polite refusal (礼貌拒绝) with a reason, in English.
答案:1. (1) herself (2) so that (3) Could
2. Zhang Mei. According to the chart, she spent 25 minutes cleaning her room, which was longer than the other three students' time (15, 10 and 5 minutes).
3. Because her mother was ill that day and she wanted to make sure that her mother could have a good rest before dinner. / Because her mother was ill, and she wanted the kitchen to be clean before dinner.
4. 示例:Sorry, I can't. I have to finish my homework first.(答案不唯一,只要用 Sorry, I can't... 并给出合理原因即可)
解析:本题考查材料分析能力,结合表格数据与语篇设问。第(1)空:主语 she 与 hurt 的宾语指同一人,且位于动词后作宾语,需用反身代词 herself,易错写成 her 或 themself;第(2)空前后是"行动—目的"关系,即洗碗是为了让厨房在晚饭前变干净,用 so that 引导目的状语从句,易错写成 so...that...(那是结果状语从句)或漏写 so;第(3)空是礼貌请求句型 Could you please + 动词原形,注意 please 后面接原形 take out,不能加 -ing,句首首字母大写。第2问要回到表格提取数据,不能只凭印象回答;第3问要求用英文回答原因,注意用 because 或 so that 表达;第4问是拒绝请求的交际表达,必须先说 Sorry, I can't 再说明原因,只写 "No" 不礼貌,属于易错点。
6解答题
根据短文内容,用括号内所给词的适当形式填空,并回答问题。
Last Saturday, a group of students from Sunshine Middle School volunteered at a community center. The center was holding a food drive to help families in need. When the students arrived at 8:30 a.m., some volunteers ______ (pack) food boxes while others ______ (write) notices to tell more people about the activity. The team leader, Li Mei, said, "The boxes were so heavy ______ many children could not carry them alone. So the students worked in pairs."
Li Mei's little brother, Wang Tao, also came to help. He asked Li Mei politely, "Could you please ______ (show) me how to sort the food?" Li Mei answered, "Sure, no problem." Then Wang Tao asked another student, "Could you please take out the rubbish?" The student smiled and said, "Sorry, I can't. I'm counting the food boxes right now."
At the end of the day, the students collected 240 boxes of food. They made a plan ______ (visit) the old people's home next Sunday. Li Mei said, "We will go to the old people's home ______ help clean their rooms, unless it rains heavily next Sunday."
(1) 请在文中三处空格处填入括号内所给词的适当形式或合适的连词。
(2) Why couldn't the student help Wang Tao take out the rubbish? Please answer in English.
答案:(1) 第一空:were packing;第二空:were writing;第三空:that;第四空:to show;第五空:to;第六空:and。
(2) Because he/she was counting the food boxes at that time. (Any reasonable answer based on the passage is acceptable, e.g. "Because he was busy counting the food boxes.")
解析:本题综合考查过去进行时、so...that...、不定式作目的状语与请求句型。(1) 第一、二空:句中有 When the students arrived at 8:30 a.m. 这一过去具体时间点,后面两个动作是当时正在进行的并行动作,故用过去进行时 were packing / were writing;易错点:写成 packed / wrote(误用一般过去时),或漏掉 be 动词,或分词拼写错误(pack→packing,注意双写不适用;write→writing,去 e 加 ing)。第三空:so heavy + that 引导结果状语从句,意为"如此重以至于……";易错点:误用 such(such 后接名词),或误用 so that(表目的)。第四空:"Could you please show me..." 中 Could you please 后必须接动词原形,但此处是 show me how to sort... 作 ask 的宾语补足语,前面 asked Li Mei politely, "Could you please show me..." 直接填 show;若按括号内 show 的形式填,应为 show(动词原形),不加 to 或 ing。第五空:"a plan to visit" 不定式作 plan 的后置定语/目的,也可理解为 make a plan to do sth. 固定搭配,填 to;易错点:误填 visiting。第六空:go to the old people's home and help clean their rooms,用 and 连接两个并列动作;help (to) do sth.,clean 用原形。(2) 细节理解题,定位文中 "Sorry, I can't. I'm counting the food boxes right now." 说明原因是当时正在数食物箱。易错点:只答 Sorry, I can't 而没有给出原因;或用中文作答。答题时须用英文完整句子回答。
7解答题
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容完成句子(每空不限一词)。
Last Friday evening, a heavy rainstorm hit Green Town. At 7:00 p.m., most families were busy at home. Mr. Brown was reading a newspaper while his wife was sweeping the floor. Their son, Tom, was doing the dishes. Suddenly, the wind broke the windows of the community library. The next morning, the town newspaper reported the news and called for volunteers to help repair the library.
Many students came to help. They were so tired after three hours of work that some of them could not stand up. But they said, "We came here to help our neighbors."
Wang Lin, a student from No. 1 Middle School, was one of the volunteers. He wrote a short report for the school newspaper. In the report, he suggested that every family should make a plan to help others in the neighborhood. He also said, "We can ask family members to do chores politely. For example, we can say 'Could you please sweep the floor?' instead of 'Sweep the floor!'", "A polite request makes people feel happy to help."
(1) At 7:00 p.m. last Friday, Mr. Brown ______ a newspaper and his wife ______ the floor.
(2) The students were ______ tired after three hours' work ______ some of them could not stand up.
(3) Wang Lin suggested that every family should make a plan ______ others in the neighborhood.
(4) According to Wang Lin, "Could you please sweep the floor?" is a ______ request.
(5) 请用英文写出文中 Tom 在 7:00 p.m. 时正在做的事(用过去进行时回答)。
答案:(1) was reading; was sweeping
(2) so; that
(3) to help
(4) polite
(5) He was doing the dishes at 7:00 p.m. last Friday.
解析:本题考查过去进行时、so...that...、不定式作目的状语以及请求与礼貌用语,属于材料分析题,需从短文中提取信息作答。(1) 由 "At 7:00 p.m., ... Mr. Brown was reading a newspaper while his wife was sweeping the floor." 可知,过去具体时刻正在进行的动作用过去进行时 was reading / was sweeping。易错点:误填 read / swept(一般过去时),或 be 动词与主语不一致(his wife 用 was 而非 were),或分词拼写错误(sweep→sweeping,直接加 ing)。(2) 由 "They were so tired after three hours of work that some of them could not stand up." 可知用 so...that... 结构,so 修饰形容词 tired,that 引导结果状语从句。易错点:误填 such...that(such 修饰名词),或误填 so that(表目的)。(3) make a plan to do sth. 为固定搭配,不定式作目的状语/后置定语,填 to help。易错点:误填 helping 或 help,或误填 for helping。(4) 由文中 "A polite request makes people feel happy to help." 可知是 polite request,填 polite。易错点:误填 politely(此处作定语修饰名词 request,须用形容词)。(5) 由 "Their son, Tom, was doing the dishes." 可知答案为 He was doing the dishes. 易错点:误用一般过去时 He did the dishes(过去进行时强调"当时正在做");或遗漏 be 动词 was;或把 do the dishes 误写成 doing dishes(漏掉 the)。
8解答题
请根据下面中文情境,完成英语表达。
假设你是李华,昨天你在家做家务时,想请你的弟弟帮忙。请根据提示,写一段不少于 5 句话的对话。
提示:
1. 你先用 Could you please... 礼貌地提出请求(例如倒垃圾、扫地或洗碗);
2. 弟弟先答应说 Sure, no problem;
3. 然后你再提出一个请求,弟弟用 Sorry, I can't 拒绝,并说明原因;
4. 你用 should 或 could 给弟弟提出一个建议;
5. 对话中至少使用一次 when 或 while 引导的时间状语从句,或使用 not...until... 句式。
注意:1. 词数 80 左右;2. 可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
答案:One possible version:
Li Ming: Hi, Tom. I'm sweeping the floor now. Could you please take out the rubbish?
Tom: Sure, no problem.
Li Ming: Thanks a lot. Could you please do the dishes after dinner?
Tom: Sorry, I can't. I have to finish my homework first.
Li Ming: Well, you could do the dishes after you finish your work. I won't go to bed until I finish all the housework.
评分要点:
1. 使用 Could you please + 动词原形 提出至少两个请求(take out the rubbish, do the dishes 等家务短语均可),动词须用原形,不加 ing;
2. 包含肯定应答 Sure, no problem;
3. 包含否定应答 Sorry, I can't,并给出原因;
4. 用 should 或 could 提出建议;
5. 出现 when/while 引导的时间状语从句或 not...until... 结构;
6. 语句通顺,词数符合要求。
解析:本题综合考查礼貌请求句型 Could you please + 动词原形、家务类短语(take out the rubbish, do the dishes, sweep the floor 等)、请求的肯定与否定应答、should/could 表建议以及 when/while 时间状语从句和 not...until... 结构。易错点:一是 please 后误加 ing,如 Could you please taking...,应为动词原形;二是回答请求时忘记礼貌用语,直接说 Yes 而不用 Sure, no problem;三是拒绝时只说 Sorry, I can't 而不说明原因,不符合题目要求;四是 should 与 could 混用,could 语气更委婉,should 表示应该、必要性更强;五是 when/while 使用不当,while 后接持续性动作(如 were sweeping),when 可接短暂动作;六是 not...until... 中主句要用否定形式,如 I won't go to bed until...;七是中式英语表达,如 Please you take out rubbish,应为 Could you please take out the rubbish?
