一个难忘的生日 A Memorable Birthday 词数 218建议用时 6 分钟难度 ★★★☆☆ — — — — — — Yesterday was my twelfth birthday. The living room was cleaned and decorated by my mother before the guests came. A big birthday cake was made by my grandma with fresh cream and red strawberries. Colorful balloons were bought and hung on the wall by my father. Everything looked happy and bright. When my friends arrived, the candles were lit by my little sister. A sweet song was sung by all of them to me. Then the cake was cut into small pieces and shared with everyone. The gifts were put on the table and the cards were written by my best friends. We laughed and felt warm. Many photos were taken by my father during the party. The best moment was caught when I blew out the candles. Some funny videos were recorded by my brother for the family group. The room was filled with joy and the smell of the cake. No one wanted the happy time to end. This birthday was remembered by me for a long time. Small things were done by my family to show their love. I was given a handmade book and a letter that told me to be brave. The presents were opened one by one and every surprise was enjoyed. Love was felt in every corner of that little room. |

❑ 答案精讲ANSWERS
1B2C3A4B5B |
Q1 · B（细节题） 出处：第一段 "A big birthday cake was made by my grandma with fresh cream and red strawberries" ▍ 抓被动句主语。第一段说蛋糕是奶奶做的（was made by my grandma），B 一致；A 气球是爸爸买的、C 卡片是好朋友写的、D 视频是哥哥录的，都不是奶奶"做"的，排除。 |
Q2 · C（细节题） 出处：第二段 "the candles were lit by my little sister" ▍ 定位执行者。蜡烛被妹妹点燃（were lit by my little sister），C 一致；A 妈妈打扫装饰、B 爸爸买气球、D 哥哥录视频，都不是点蜡烛的人，排除。 |
Q3 · A（词义猜测） 出处：第三段 "The best moment was caught when I blew out the candles" ▍ 语境给线索。吹灭蜡烛的那一刻"被定格"成照片/记忆，caught 在这里是"抓住、定格"；A 正确。B 扔掉、C 忘记、D 卖掉都和"最好的那一刻"矛盾。 |
Q4 · B（推断题） 出处：第四段 Small things were done by my family to show their love、Love was felt in every corner ▍ 把情感词串起来。家人做小事表达爱（were done by my family to show their love），结尾说爱充满每个角落（Love was felt），所以又感动又温暖，B 最准；A 无聊早走、C 生妹妹气、D 因没礼物难过文中都无依据。 |
Q5 · B（主旨题） 出处：全文讲作者十二岁生日里家人朋友为他做的事 ▍ 标题要罩住整篇。A 只讲做蛋糕、C 只讲妹妹、D 只讲家庭群——都是局部；B 的 A Memorable Birthday（一个难忘的生日）既点明"生日"又点明"难忘"，最全面。 |

❑ 长难句拆解SENTENCE
The best moment was caught when I blew out the candles. 翻译：最好的那一刻被定格了，就在我吹灭蜡烛的时候。｜ 今天核心语法——一般过去时被动语态。结构 = was/were + 过去分词（done）。主语都是"被怎样"的承受者，而且动作发生在昨天（过去），所以 be 用 was（单数）/were（复数）。对照 Day 21：现在被动 is/are + done（The egg is held up 鸡蛋被托起），过去被动 was/were + done（The best moment was caught 那一刻被定格）。三步识别不变：① 找 be 动词（过去用 was/were）；② 看后面是不是过去分词（规则 +ed 如 cleaned/decorated/recorded/opened/enjoyed，不规则如 caught/given/felt/bought/lit）；③ by 引出"谁做的"（常可省略）。最关键考点——被动只换说法，时态由 be 决定：现在 is/are，过去 was/were；而且 was 配单数、were 配复数，写反就扣分。 |
主语(动作承受者) | The best moment那一刻——它是"被定格"的，不是自己跳出来的 |
被动谓语 | was caughtwas + catch 的过去分词 caught，一般过去时被动：被抓住 / 被定格 |
时间状语从句 | when I blew out the candleswhen 引导：当我吹灭蜡烛时（blew 是 blow 的过去式，这层是主动） |
❑ 家长陪读贴士FOR PARENTS
01 | 找过去被动三步：和孩子一起圈"was/were + 过去分词"——主语是被怎样的人或物，by 后面才是动作的发出者（常省略）。比如 The candles were lit：蜡烛被点燃，谁点？by my little sister。 |
02 | 和 Day 21 做一张时态卡：同一件事换时间只换 be：现在被动 is/are + done（眼前/常理，如 The egg is held up），过去被动 was/were + done（昨天发生，如 The best moment was caught）。把两篇并排读，孩子一眼看清"被动不变、be 变"。 |
03 | 单复数别写反：was 配单数名词（The cake was cut / The room was filled），were 配复数（The candles were lit / The gifts were put）。考试最爱考"were 写成 was"或反之，圈主语单复数就能避坑。 |
