) 1. The Qingming Festival is ______ spring. It is usually rainy ______ this time of year.
A.in; at
B.at; in
C.in; in
D.on; at
答案:【解析】:本题考查的是介词的用法。第一个空,表示“在春天”,我们通常使用介词"in",因为"in"用于表示在某个时间段或某个范围内,而春天是一个时间段。第二个空,表示“在每年的这个时候”,我们通常使用介词"at",因为"at"用于表示具体的时间点或特定的时刻。接下来,我们逐一分析选项:A选项(in; at)符合上述分析,即“在春天”用"in",“在每年的这个时候”用"at";B选项(at; in)介词使用顺序与题目要求不符;C选项(in; in)第二个介词使用错误;D选项(on; at)第一个介词使用错误,因为"on"通常用于表示具体的某一天或日期,而不是时间段。

during
the summer holiday.
A.at
B.on
C.in
D.during
答案:【解析】:本题考查的是介词的使用。题目中提到了“他们喜欢在暑假去游泳”,我们需要找到一个合适的介词来描述“在暑假”这一时间段。
A选项“at”通常用于描述具体的时间点,如“at 7 o'clock”;
B选项“on”通常用于描述具体的某一天或日期,如“on Monday”;
C选项“in”常用于描述在某个时间段内,但通常不直接与“暑假”这样的假期连用,而是更常用于月份、季节等,但在此题中不是最佳选项;
D选项“during”意为“在……期间”,非常适合用来描述在暑假这样的时间段内。
根据英语习惯用法和题目语境,“during the summer holiday”是最合适的选择。
【答案】:D

—Hi, Tom. John isn't at home now. He ______ football in the park.
A.plays
B.played
C.is playing
D.will play
答案:【解析】:
这是一道英语时态的题目,考查的是现在进行时的用法。根据对话内容,“Hello, this is Tom calling. May I speak to John?”表明这是一个电话对话,而回答“John isn't at home now. He ______ football in the park.”中的“now”是现在进行时的重要标志,表示现在正在进行的动作。现在进行时的结构是“be动词+动词的现在分词”。
选项A“plays”是一般现在时,表示通常性、规律性、习惯性、真理性的动作或状态;
选项B“played”是一般过去时,表示过去某个时间里发生的动作或状态;
选项C“is playing”是现在进行时,表示现在正在进行的动作;
选项D“will play”是一般将来时,表示将来某一时段的动作或状态。
根据对话内容和时态用法,可以确定正确答案是C,“is playing”。
