③ Patty’s football skills . Then she joined the Football Club. She practised every weekend. Now she is a good football player.
④ They . Then they set a timetable and worked hard. Now their English is better.

1. was often late for school
2. was weak
3. were not good enough
4. were not good at English

【分析】
这是一道英语词组适当形式填空题，解题思路为：1. 通读句子，明确时间状语（均为过去的时间，如last term、last year），确定使用一般过去时，be动词需用过去式was/were；2. 分析每个句子的主语单复数，匹配对应的be动词；3. 结合后半句“Then...Now...”体现的“过去不好，现在变好”的转折逻辑，选择合适的词组填空。
【解析】
① 时间状语为last term（上学期，过去），主语是I，be动词用was；后半句提到买闹钟、早起，说明过去经常上学迟到，故填was often late for school。
② 时间状语为last year（去年，过去），主语Luke是单数，be动词用was；后半句提到健康饮食、现在强壮健康，说明过去是虚弱的，故填was weak。
③ 主语Patty’s football skills是复数，be动词用were；后半句提到加入足球俱乐部、练习，说明过去足球技能不够好，故填were not good enough。
④ 主语they是复数，be动词用were；后半句提到制定时间表、努力学习、英语变好，说明过去不擅长英语，故填were not good at English。
【答案】
1. was often late for school
2. was weak
3. were not good enough
4. were not good at English
【知识点】
一般过去时；动词词组填空；形容词短语运用
【点评】
本题结合语境考查一般过去时的用法，要求学生根据时间状语、主语单复数及句子逻辑选择正确的词组形式，是基础题型，需掌握常见词组含义和时态规则。

a piece of chalk and
took the chalk from her
③ Result
wrote

1. move my left foot 2. read and write 3. the letter A

【分析】
首先梳理思维导图的三个模块：Problems（问题）、Actions（行动）、Result（结果）。①处描述生病的状态，结合后文“用左脚”的提示，可知生病时只能移动左脚；②处是妈妈教的内容，结合“看姐姐用粉笔”的动作，可知是教读写；③处是用左脚写的内容，对应基础字母，为字母A。
【解析】
根据各模块的语境与插图提示：①处，生病且无法说话，只能移动左脚，故填move my left foot；②处，妈妈教的是读写，匹配姐姐用粉笔的行为，故填read and write；③处，用左脚写的是字母A，故填the letter A。
【答案】
1. move my left foot 2. read and write 3. the letter A
【知识点】
英语词汇运用、看图完成句子
【点评】
本题以思维导图形式，结合语境与插图考查英语基础表达，需理清各部分逻辑，难度适中。
