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。
A news website posted a short report about Yu Gong last Monday. "Once upon a time, there was an old man called Yu Gong," the report began. "There were two high mountains near his house, so his family had to walk a long way every day. The old man decided to move them away. One day, when he was carrying rocks with his sons, a man called Zhi Sou came up to him and laughed at him. Yu Gong was so sure about his plan that he did not stop. At that time, many people were talking about the story online. Some young readers said the old man was a little silly, but most people thought his spirit was very moving."
According to the report, why did Yu Gong want to move the mountains away?
- A. Because his family had to walk a long way every day.
- B. Because the mountains were too small to see.
- C. Because Zhi Sou asked him to move them.
- D. Because he wanted to become famous online.
答案：A
解析：本题考查阅读理解中的细节定位能力，同时短文以新闻报道情境呈现，融入一般过去时讲故事（Once upon a time, there was / decided / came / laughed）、过去进行时（when he was carrying rocks / many people were talking）以及 so...that... 结果状语从句（so sure about his plan that he did not stop）。根据短文 "There were two high mountains near his house, so his family had to walk a long way every day." 可知愚公移山的原因是家人每天要走很远的路，A 项与原文一致。B 项与原文 "two high mountains" 矛盾；C 项张冠李戴，Zhi Sou 只是嘲笑他，并非让他移山；D 项无中生有，文中并未提及出名。易错点：被末句 "talking about the story online" 干扰而误选 D。故选A。
2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。
A news report on a volunteer program in a small mountain village was shown on TV last Friday. A group of college students went there to help build a new reading room for children. As soon as they ______ the village, they began to carry books and desks into an old house. Although the work was tiring, nobody wanted to stop. The students also encouraged the children ______ English stories aloud every morning. One of the volunteers said, "Once upon a time, there was only a small shelf of books here. Now more children can read." The program will continue next month.
Which word best completes the blank in the passage?
- A. arrive
- B. arrives
- C. arrived
- D. will arrive
答案：C
解析：本题考查as soon as引导的时间状语从句以及讲故事/叙述事件时的一般过去时。由后文began、was、wanted、said等可知整段用一般过去时叙述过去发生的事情，as soon as从句也应用一般过去时，arrive的过去式为arrived，表示“一到达村庄，他们就……”。A项为原形，B项为一般现在时第三人称单数，D项为一般将来时，均与叙述过去的语境不符。注意：若主句为一般将来时，as soon as从句才用一般现在时（主将从现），本题主句是began，故从句用过去式。故选C。
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。
Once upon a time, there lived a young volunteer named Li Ming in a small town near the mountains. One spring morning, he decided ______ (join) a clean-up group in the city park. He got up early and made some colorful notices ______ (tell) people about the food drive. "We hope ______ (collect) enough food for the old people's home," he said to his teammates. When an old man saw the notices, he smiled and said, "Long ago, an old man tried to move the mountains. He never gave up." Li Ming was moved and agreed ______ (work) even harder.
Which of the following words best completes the first blank in the passage?
- A. join
- B. joining
- C. to join
- D. joined
答案：C
解析：本题考查动词不定式作宾语。decide 是后接不定式作宾语的高频动词，结构为 decide to do sth.，所以应填 to join。A 项是动词原形，decide 后不能直接跟原形；B 项 joining 是动名词，decide 后不接动名词作宾语（接动名词的常见动词有 enjoy、finish 等）；D 项 joined 是过去式，虽然后文叙述的是过去的事，但 decide 后需要的是非谓语形式而非谓语形式，时态不影响此处结构。易错点：①受上下文过去时影响误选 D；②与接动名词的动词混淆误选 B；③漏掉 to 误选 A。故选C。
4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 Friday, our school newspaper reported a story about a mountain village. A group of students went there to help the old villagers. They began to plant trees at eight in the morning, but they ______ finished the work ______ it started to rain heavily at noon. "We should keep going tomorrow," said Wang Lei. "You could ask the villagers for help. I think you ______ come earlier to catch the bus," he added. The village teacher told them that an old man once tried to move the mountains, and the story ______ the students a lot.
Which of the following can best fill in the blanks in the second sentence of the passage?
- A. didn't; until
- B. didn't; when
- C. don't; until
- D. won't; when
答案：A
解析：本题考查 not...until... 引导的时间状语从句以及一般过去时。句意为“他们直到中午开始下大雨才完成工作”，即“直到……才……”，主句动词要用否定形式，从句由 until 引导。结合上下文 Last Friday、began 等提示，整段用一般过去时，故主句用 didn't finish，从句用 until。B 项 when 表示“当……时”，不能表达“直到……才……”的意思；C 项 don't 与全文过去时态不符；D 项既时态错误又连词错误。易错点：①受中文思维影响，在肯定句中误用 until；②主从句时态搭配错误；③混淆 until 与 when 的逻辑关系。故选A。
5填空题
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容及括号内所给词的适当形式填空。
Last Friday, our school newspaper reported a moving story. Once upon a time, there (1) ______ (be) a boy named Leo who loved reading. One day, he (2) ______ (find) that the village library had no English books. He (3) ______ (tell) himself that he would do something. Leo wrote a letter to a city newspaper and asked for help (4) ______ the readers could send some books to the village. The letter was published, and soon boxes of books (5) ______ (send) to the library. Leo said he would keep reading (6) ______ his eyesight became too weak. When the reporter visited him last week, he (7) ______ (read) a story to a group of children. Now the village library is open every weekend, and more children come (8) ______ (learn) new words.
答案：(1) was (2) found (3) told (4) so that (5) were sent (6) unless (7) was reading (8) to learn
解析：本题以校报新闻为情境，把“讲故事用一般过去时”与 unless、so that、when/while 时间状语从句、被动语态综合考查。(1) 易错点：there be 句型中主语 a boy 是单数，且讲故事用过去时，应填 was，误填 were 或 is 均错。(2)(3) 易错点：find 的过去式是 found，tell 的过去式是 told，属于不规则动词，写成 finded、telled 是典型错误。(4) 易错点：asked for help 与“读者寄书”是行动—目的关系，须用 so that；写成 so...that... 或漏写 so 都不对。(5) 易错点：主语 books 是复数且是“被寄送”，须用一般过去时被动语态 were sent，只写 sent 漏掉被动结构即错。(6) 易错点：unless = if...not，句意为“除非视力变得太弱，否则他会一直读下去”，若填 if 会改变逻辑。(7) 易错点：when 引导的从句动作短暂（visited），主句表示当时正在进行的持续动作，须用过去进行时 was reading；填 read 会丢失“当时正在”的含义。(8) 易错点：come to learn 表示目的，用动词不定式，误填 learning 不合结构。

Last week, a local newspaper reported a moving story about an old man in a small village. Once upon a time, there (be) ______ an old man who lived at the foot of two high mountains. Every morning he (get) ______ up very early and (begin) ______ to carry rocks away with his sons.

要求：1. 第1—4空用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空（第3空为括号内 begin 的适当形式）；2. 第5、6空分别填入一个适当的连词，构成 so...that... 结构。
答案：1. was（Once upon a time 提示讲故事用一般过去时，主语 an old man 为单数，故填 was）
2. got（get 的过去式为 got，不规则变化）
3. began（begin 的过去式为 began，不规则变化）
4. while（此处表示"当年轻人们在树下休息时"，强调过去某段时间正在进行，用 while 引导，动词用 were resting）
5. so（so + 形容词/副词 + that...，中心词 high and big 是形容词，故用 so）
6. that（构成 so...that... 结果状语从句）
完整短文：Once upon a time, there was an old man who lived at the foot of two high mountains. Every morning he got up very early and began to carry rocks away with his sons. The mountains were so high and big that the villagers laughed at him and said he could never finish the work. However, the old man never gave up. While the young men were resting under the trees, he kept on digging. At 8:00 yesterday evening, a reporter visited the village and told the story to the whole country. Now more and more people are moved by the old man's spirit. They say the story is so moving that many readers want to help the villagers build a new road.
解析：本题把"愚公移山"考点放进新闻报道的陌生情境，综合考查一般过去时讲故事、过去进行时、when/while 辨析与 so...that... 结构。易错点：①讲故事时动词忘记用过去式，如把 was 写成 is、got 写成 get；②不规则动词过去式记错，把 began 写成 begined、got 写成 getted；③第4空把 while 误填成 when，或把 were resting 写成 rested——此处强调"年轻人们正在休息"这一持续背景动作，应与老人"持续挖掘"形成对照，用过去进行时 were resting；④第5、6空把 so...that 误写成 such...that（such 后接名词，此处 high and big 是形容词，只能用 so），或误填 so that（表目的）。
7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。
Once upon a time, there was a very old man named Yu Gong. There were two high mountains near his house, so his family had to walk a long way every day. One day, Yu Gong tried ______ (move) the mountains away. He told his family to help him. His wife thought it was impossible, but Yu Gong said he could do it. As soon as he began to dig, some of his neighbors came to watch. Yu Gong encouraged them ______ (join) him. Although the mountains were very high, the old man never gave up. At last, the gods were moved and they ______ (take) the mountains away.
1. 用括号内所给词的适当形式填空。
2. 请用一般过去时写两句话，讲述你熟悉的一个故事的开头（可用 Once upon a time, there was / were ... 开头）。
答案：1. to move；to join；took。
(1) try to do sth. 意为“试图做某事”，不定式作宾语，故填 to move。
(2) encourage sb. to do sth. 意为“鼓励某人做某事”，不定式作宾语补足语，故填 to join。
(3) 由整段讲故事用一般过去时可知，take 的过去式为不规则变化 took，故填 took。
2. 示例答案（答案不唯一）：Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lingling. She lived in a small village and helped her parents every day. / Once upon a time, there were three little pigs. They decided to build their own houses.
解析：本题综合考查讲故事时的一般过去时、try to do / encourage sb. to do 的不定式结构以及不规则动词的过去式。
第1空：try to do sth. 是固定搭配，try后接不定式，不能填 moving；第2空：encourage sb. to do sth. 中不定式作宾语补足语，注意不要与 let / make / have / see / hear 等后省略 to 的用法混淆，也不能漏掉 to；第3空：take 的过去式是 took，属于不规则动词，易误写为 taked，讲故事时动词必须用过去式。
第2问：叙述过去的故事要用一般过去时，动词都要用过去式，如 was / were、lived、helped、decided 等；开头可用 Once upon a time, there was / were ...，注意单数用 was、复数用 were。易错点：一是动词忘了用过去式（如写成 live、help）；二是不规则动词过去式记错（如 taked、goed）。
8解答题
阅读下面短文，按要求完成后面的题目。
Once upon a time, there lived an old man named Mr. Green in a small village near a river. Last month, a big storm destroyed the only wooden bridge over the river, so the children could not get to school. The villagers said the bridge was too expensive to rebuild. However, Mr. Green did not give up. He began to collect stones from the riverbank every morning. He told the reporters from the local newspaper, "I will keep working unless the whole village stops me." He also asked the young people to help him so that the children could go back to school before the new term began. While Mr. Green was carrying the heavy stones, some volunteers arrived and joined him. Two months later, the villagers finally built a new stone bridge together.
(1) 用英语回答问题：Why did Mr. Green decide to collect stones from the riverbank?
(2) 请将文中画线句 "I will keep working unless the whole village stops me." 改写为含 if...not 的句子，保持句意基本不变。
(3) 文中 "He also asked the young people to help him so that the children could go back to school before the new term began." 一句中，so that 引导的是什么从句？请用英语写出该从句在句中的作用，并仿照 so that 结构，用英语造一个表示目的的句子（句子中须含有情态动词）。
答案：(1) Because the storm destroyed the only wooden bridge and the children could not get to school.
(2) I will keep working if the whole village does not stop me.
(3) so that 引导目的状语从句（adverbial clause of purpose），用来说明 asked the young people to help him 的目的。仿写示例：We should save water so that people in dry areas can have enough to drink.（答案不唯一，符合 so that + 情态动词 + 动词原形 表示目的即可。）
解析：本题把讲故事用一般过去时（Once upon a time、lived、began、told、built 等）与 unless、so that 两个从句考点放进“乡村修桥”这一新闻情境，考查知识迁移。(1) 易错点：只写 Because the bridge was broken，未点明“孩子上学受阻”这一真正动机，回答不完整。(2) 易错点：unless = if...not，改写时必须把主句的肯定含义翻成 if 从句的否定，写成 if the whole village stops me（漏掉 not）即错；同时主句用一般将来时，if 从句用一般现在时表示将来，误写成 if...will stop 也不对。(3) 易错点：把 so that 与 so...that...（结果状语从句）混淆；从句中漏用情态动词，写成 so that the children could go back 是正确的（could + 动词原形），但仿写时写成 so that they will go 就违背了目的状语从句常用情态动词的规则。讲故事时动词忘记用过去式（如写成 begin、tell）也是本单元常见失分点。
