(shù)，所以謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞也應(yīng)使用第三人稱單數(shù)形式。Goes是go的第三人稱單數(shù)形式，符合語(yǔ)法要求；went是go的過(guò)去式，用于描述過(guò)去發(fā)生的動(dòng)作，與句意不符；go是動(dòng)詞原形，用于第一人稱或復(fù)數(shù)主語(yǔ)，也不符合本句主語(yǔ)“She”的要求。因此，正確答案是A。五、簡(jiǎn)答題（本大題有5小題，每小題2分，共10分）Question:Explainthedifferencebetweenthepresentsimpletenseandthepresentcontinuoustense,givingatleastoneexampleforeach.Answer:Thepresentsimpletenseisusedtodescribehabits,generaltruths,oractionsthathappenregularlyoralways.Itisnotconnectedtoaspecifictime.Forexample,“IplayfootballeverySaturday.”Thepresentcontinuoustense,ontheotherhand,isusedtodescribeactionsthatarehappeningrightnoworactionsthatareinprogressatthemomentofspeaking.Itisoftenusedwithwordslike“now,”“atthemoment,”orwiththepresentparticiple(verb+-ing)formalongwith“be”verbs.Forexample,“Iamplayingfootballnow.”Explanation:Thekeydifferenceliesintheiruse.Thepresentsimpletensefocusesonroutines,habits,oruniversaltruths,whereasthepresentcontinuoustenseemphasizesongoingactionsinthepresentmoment.Question:Describethefunctionofthearticle“a”and“the”inEnglishgrammar,andprovideanexamplesentenceforeach.Answer:Thearticle“a”isanindefinitearticleusedbeforeasingularnountoindicatethatthenounreferstoonememberofageneralclassorcategory.Itimpliesthatthespecificmemberisnotknownornotimportant.Forexample,“Iwanttobuyabook.”Thearticle“the”isadefinitearticleusedbeforeanountospecifyaparticularperson,place,orthing.Itindicatesthatthenounreferstoaknownorpreviouslymentioneditem.Forexample,“Thebookonthetableismine.”Explanation:Thearticles“a”and“the”playcrucialrolesinEnglishgrammarbydeterminingwhetheranounisindefinite(general)ordefinite(specific).“A”introducesanew,unspecifiedmemberofagroup,while“the”pointstoaspecific,knowninstance.3、Question:ExplainthedifferencebetweenacountablenounandanuncountablenouninEnglish,andgiveanexampleofeach.Answer:Countablenounsrefertothingsthatcanbecountedorquantifiedusingnumbers,suchas“apples”or“books”.Theyusuallytakethepluralformbyaddingan“s”orchangingtheending,e.g.,“oneapple”becomes“twoapples”.Anexampleofacountablenounis“cat”,whichcanbecountedas“onecat”,“twocats”,etc.Uncountablenouns,ontheotherhand,representconcepts,substances,orabstractideasthatcannotbeeasilycountedorseparatedintodistinctunits.Theyaregenerallyusedinthesingularformanddonottakeapluralending.Theyareoftenreferredtowithquantifierslike“much”,“l(fā)ittle”,“some”,or“alotof”.Anexampleofanuncountablenounis“water”,whichwewouldnotsay“onewater”or“twowaters”;instead,wewouldsay“somewater”or“alotofwater”.Explanation:ThisquestionteststheunderstandingofthedistinctionbetweencountableanduncountablenounsinEnglish.Countablenounscanbecounted,whileuncountablenounsrepresentconceptsorsubstancesthatcannotbeeasilydividedorcounted.Knowingthisdistinctionisimportantforaccurateusageofnounsandchoosingappropriatequantifiers.4、Question:Whatisthepresentcontinuoustense,andhowisitformed?Giveanexamplesentence.Answer:Thepresentcontinuoustenseisusedtodescribeanactionthatishappeningatthemomentofspeakingoranactionthatisongoinginthepresenttime.Itisformedusingthepresenttenseoftheverb“tobe”(am,is,are)plusthepresentparticipleofthemainverb(endingin“-ing”).Examplesentence:“Iamstudyingformyexamtomorrow.”Inthissentence,“amstudying”isinthepresentcontinuoustense,indicatingthattheactionofstudyingisongoingatthepresentmoment.Explanation:Thisquestionexaminestheconceptandformationofthepresentcontinuoustense.Understandingthistenseisessentialforconveyingtheideaofongoingactionsinthepresent.Theexamplesentencedemonstrateshowthepresenttenseof“tobe”combineswiththe“-ing”formofthemainverbtocreatethepresentcontinuoustense.“Writeabriefexplanationofthedifferencesbetweenthepresentsimpletenseandthepresentcontinuoustense,withexamples.”Answer:Thepresentsimpletenseandthepresentcontinuoustensearebothusedtodescribeactionshappeninginthepresent,buttheyhavedistinctusesandnuances.PresentSimpleTense:Thistenseisusedtodescribehabits,generaltruths,unchangingsituations,scheduledevents,andabilities.Itdoesnotemphasizetheongoingnatureoftheaction.Example:IspeakEnglish.(Ageneralability)Thesunrisesintheeast.(Ageneraltruth)WehaveEnglishclasseveryMonday.(Ascheduledevent)PresentContinuousTense:Thistenseisusedtodescribeactionsthatarehappeningatthemomentofspeaking,actionsthatareongoingatthepresenttime,ortoexpressplansforthenearfuture.Itemphasizestheongoingnatureoftheaction.Example:Iamspeakingtomyfriendonthephonenow.(Actionhappeningatthemoment)Theyarehavingameetinguntil3p.m.(Actionongoinginthepresent)Iamgoingtothelibraryafterschool.(Planforthenearfuture,oftenwithadverbslike‘now’,‘today’,‘thisweek’)Explanation:Themaindifferenceliesintheemphasisandthetypeofsituationsdescribed.Thepresentsimplefocusesongeneralities,habits,andtimelessfacts,whilethepresentcontinuoushighlightstheongoingnatureofanactioninthepresentmomentorverynearfuture.Thechoicebetweenthesetwotensesdependsonthecontextandthemessagethespeakerintendstoconvey.六、書(shū)面表達(dá)題（15分）SectionVI:WrittenExpression(15marks)Topic:ImagineyouareLiHua,astudentinJunior2.Yourschoolisorganizinganinternationalfoodfestivaln
