❑ 答案精讲ANSWERS
1A2A3A4B5B |
Q1 · A（时态细节） 出处：第一段 “have known li ming since grade seven” ▍ 抓完成时+since。I have known Li Ming since Grade Seven，since 接过去点配现在完成时，A 一致；B/C/D 都不是“时长起点”。 |
Q2 · A（细节题） 出处：第一段 “last term we won” ▍ 定位过去动作。他们上学期一起获奖（Last term we won a prize），A 一致；B 明年、C 昨天、D 三年前都不符。 |
Q3 · A（词义猜测） 出处：第四段 “learned the meaning of loyalty” ▍ 语境给线索。loyalty = 忠诚——从朋友身上学到忠诚的意义，A 正确；B 聪明、C 财富、D 健康都不符。 |
Q4 · B（推断题） 出处：第二段 “a promise connects us still” ▍ 抓纽带。作者说一份约定仍把我们相连，B 最准；A 钱、C 火车、D 城市都不是真正纽带。 |
Q5 · B（主旨题） 出处：第四段 “our friendship has taught me a lot” 点题 ▍ 标题要罩住整篇。A 只讲老师、C 只讲城市游、D 只讲照片——都是局部；B 的 A Promise About Growing Up 点明“成长约定”主题，最全面。 |

❑ 长难句拆解SENTENCE
I have known Li Ming since Grade Seven, but we became friends three years ago. 翻译：我从七年级就认识李明，但我们三年前才成为朋友。｜ 今天核心语法——现在完成时 vs 一般过去时（收口 Day13）。① 现在完成时（have/has + done）：强调“与现在的联系/持续/经历”，常配 since（点）+ for（段）、already、ever、never：have known、has helped、has written。② 一般过去时：纯叙述过去动作，常配 ago、last term、yesterday：became、won、visited、bought、learned。③ 区分关键：过去时只讲“过去发生”，完成时讲“对现在有影响/延续至今”。 |
现在完成时+since | I have known Li Ming since Grade Sevenhave known 持续到现在，since 接过去某点 |
一般过去时+ago | we became friends three years agobecame 纯过去动作，ago 接时间段 |
❑ 家长陪读贴士FOR PARENTS
01 | since vs ago：since 接“过去某点”（since Grade Seven），配现在完成时；ago 接“时间段”（three years ago），配一般过去时。这是填空第一题常客。 |
02 | 完成时标志词：since / for / already / ever / never / just / so far；过去时标志词：yesterday / last… / …ago / in 2024。 |
03 | 一个坑：have known 是延续性，不能换 won；“认识多久”用 have known，“什么时候认识”若强调过去动作可用 met（过去时）。看见 since 就用 have done。 |
