句式精讲
1．－What’s your favorite subject?
－My favorite subject is science.
1) “What is your favorite+名词？” 是一个用来询问对方喜好的句型，它的意思是“某人最喜爱的……是什么？”。
例如：What’s your favorite movie? 你最喜爱的电影是什么？
2) 询问某人最喜欢什么，还可以用“What＋名词＋do you like best？”。
例如：What color do you like best?＝What is your favorite color?
你最喜爱的颜色是什么？
3) 这个特殊疑问句的回答是：My favorite＋名词＋is＋其他。也可以用It’s＋名词。
例如：—What is your favorite color? 你最喜爱的颜色是什么？
— My favorite color is yellow. / It’s yellow. 我最喜爱的颜色是黄色。
注意：这个句式中的主语可以用各种人称。
例如：What’s his favorite subject? 他最喜欢的科目是什么？
What’s her favorite subject? 她最喜欢的科目是什么？
2.－Why do Frank and Bob like P.E. ?
－Because it’s fun.
1）以特殊疑问词why开头的特殊疑问句是询问原因的。Why是疑问副词，它的意思是“为什么”。它构成特殊疑问句时，句式是：Why+一般疑问句。当句子的谓语动词是行为动词时，这个句子的句式为“Why + do/does + 主语+谓语+其他？”。当主语是第三人称单数时助动词用does，当主语是其他人称时，助动词用do。
例如：Why do you like English? 你为什么喜欢英语？
Why does she like computer games? 她为什么喜欢电子游戏？
2）回答why开头的特殊疑问句，要用连词because。
例如：—Why don’t you come to our party? 你为什么不参加我们的晚会？
—Because I have a lot of homework to do. 因为我有许多作业要做。
3. Who is your music teacher?
1）who是疑问代词，构成特殊疑问句，可以代指句中的主语、宾语或表语。who在句子中做主语时，后面的谓语动词可以用复数形式，也可以用单数形式；主要由who所代表的人或物是单数还是复数决定。如果不清楚所代表的名词是单数还是复数，谓语动词一般用单数形式。
例如：Who lives in this room? 谁居住在这个房间里？
2）who的宾格形式是whom，在句中代指宾语时两者可以互换。
例如：Who are you waiting for? =Whom are you waiting for? 你在等谁？
4.…but after that I have an art lesson for two hours.
动词have的意思是“上、进行、学习”，表示上什么课用动词have＋名词＋class。
例如：We are having an English class. 我们正在上英语课。
We often have four classes in the morning. 我们通常上午上四节课。
介词for后接一段时间，意思是“经过……之久”，对其提问时，要用How long。
例如：－I watch TV for three hours. 我看电视三个小时了。（对划线部分提问）
－How long do you watch TV? 你看电视多长时间了？

【答案与解析】
Ⅰ.单项选择。
1. A。本题考查介词的用法，介词for和表示一段时间的名词连用，表示“某人做某事多久”。
2. B。短语how many表示“多少”的时候，它的后面用可数名词的复数形式，how much的后面用不可数名词，而句子的谓语动词是are，在how many的后面用可数名词的复数形式cities。
3. C。本句子是考查英语文化常识，我们每个星期的第一天是星期一，英语国家的习惯每个星期的第一天是Sunday。
4. B。对话后面的回答是用连词because来解释“我妈妈喜欢红色的原因”，所以前面对记者是用特殊疑问词why来询问“你妈妈为什么喜欢红色？”。
5. D。从百万句子的前面意思“我不喜欢历史”，后面的句子是解释原因，所以用形容词boring表示“令人讨厌的、无聊的”，这样才和前面句子的意思前后意思一致。
6. D。本句子的前面的意思是“我喜欢体育”，后面的句子是用“because”来解释喜欢体育的原因，所以用连词because引导后面的句子。
7. A。从对话后面的回答blue是表示颜色的，所以前面的句子是用特殊疑问句What is your mother’s favorite color?来询问“你妈妈最喜爱的颜色是什么？”。
8. D。本句子是否定句，在否定句指表示一些用any，在肯定句中用some。后面的名词classes是可数名词的复数形式，所以不能用a/an。
9. A。从对话后面句子的回答可以看出是表示具体时间的，所以前面的句子是用特殊疑问词when来询问“什么时候做某事”的意思。
10. A。本题考查词义辨析。A项意为“规定”；B项意“计划”；C项意为“习惯”；D项意为“机会”。由句意“--我听说你们每天跑步半个小时。--对，我们必须的。它是我们学校的……之一”。上句中的have to表示由于某种客观原因而不得不做某事。可知此空应填“规定”。故选A。
11. D。从对话的后面回答“我最喜爱的运动是足球”，可以判断前面的句子是用特殊疑问句What’s your favorite sports?来询问“你最喜爱的运动是什么？”，所以用what和is连用。
12. A。本句子是考查特殊疑问词的用法。从对话后面的回答是用连词because引导的表示原因的句子，所以前面用特殊疑问词Why来引导特殊疑问句表示询问“你为什么昨天晚上的晚会迟到了？”。
13. A。本句子是考查连词的用法。从句子的前后意思理解后面的句子是解释前面的句子的原因。所以用连词because表示“因为”的意思。Because of的后面不用句子。
14. D。从句子的意思和后面的回答可以判断是用特殊疑问词who来询问：“谁是你的英语老师？”。
15. C。在回答特殊疑问句What day is it today?的时候用代词It代替today。
【真题链接】
1. C。由答语Every afternoon可知问时间频率，用how often提问。
2. C。由答语Saturday可知问“你最喜欢的一天是星期几？”。
3. B。not...at all表示“根本不……”，由于三单作主语，句中助动词的否定形式用
doesn’t。句意为：我妈妈根本不喜欢做家务。
Ⅱ. 完形填空。
1. C。星期前不加冠词。
2. B。表示在几点钟的时候用介词at。
3. C。本空用连词because引导一个句子来解释“他喜欢科学”的原因。
4. C。本空是用形容词difficult来解释他不喜欢数学的原因（数学太难了）。
5. A。表示“大卫的最喜爱的老师”应该用名词所有格的形式。Dave不是以s结尾的，因此不能选C。
6. B。本空考查介词的用法，在表示某一个具体的上午、下午或者晚上用介词on。
7. C。本句的主语是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词用likes。
8. A。从weekdays可以理解是从星期一到星期五。
9. B。从11:45可以判断是吃午饭的时间，所以选lunch。
10. B。动词play和表示球类的名词连用时不需要用冠词。
III.阅读理解。
A篇
1. C。由文章第二句内容可知。
2. D。由“In the afternoon，she usually sees her friends．”可知。
3. B。由第三段的前两句话可知。
4. D。由“Mr. Green usually reads the newspaper(报纸)，but sometimes he and his wife watch TV．”可知。

11. 我们上午有四节课，下午有两节课。
12. Tuesday and Thursday
13. What’s your favorite subject？
14. B
15. 在周六和周日我不上学。

Dear Tom,
I am in Grade One in a middle school this year. I have many new subjects. They are English, biology, history and so on. I like English very much because it’s very interesting. Every morning I read English and often see English films in the evening.
I have four lessons in the morning and two in the afternoon. After class I do sports. My favorite sport is tennis. I think it’s very relaxing. I know you play tennis very well. Maybe we will have a tennis game some day. Do you think so?
Yours，
