5. Hi, Jim! Where you (be)? Your mother is looking for you.

1. has stayed
2. has gone
3. haven't received
4. hasn't decided
5. have; been

本题考查现在完成时的用法，现在完成时结构为"have/has + 动词过去分词"，常和for+时间段、so far、yet等标志性时间状语搭配使用：
1. 句中"for several days"是现在完成时的标志，表动作从过去持续到现在，主语he是第三人称单数，助动词用has，stay的过去分词为stayed。
2. 语境表示Peter现在不在此处，已经去往某地还未返回，要用现在完成时have/has gone结构，主语he是第三人称单数，助动词用has。
3. 句中"so far（到目前为止）"是现在完成时的标志性时间状语，主语为I，对应的否定形式助动词用haven't，receive的过去分词为received。
4. 句中"yet"是现在完成时否定句的标志，主语she是第三人称单数，对应的否定形式助动词用hasn't，decide的过去分词为decided。
5. 语境表示对方刚刚已经去过某地现在回来了，询问从过去到此刻的去向，用现在完成时，主语是you，助动词用have，be的过去分词为been。

三、根据汉语提示完成句子。
1.我小时候更喜欢科幻小说而不是童话故事。
I science fiction fairy tales when I was young.
2.米娅已经把所有的书都还给图书馆了吗？

Reading history us not the same mistakes of the past.

1. preferred; to
2. Has; returned
3. as; as possible
4. considers; to; be
5. teaches; to; make

本题考查八年级下册Unit7的重点固定搭配与时态运用：
1. 表达“比起后者更喜欢前者”用固定搭配prefer A to B，根据时间状语从句when I was young可知句子为一般过去时，prefer的过去式为preferred。
2. 句中yet是现在完成时的典型标志词，主语Mia是第三人称单数，现在完成时的一般疑问句结构为"Has+主语+动词过去分词"，"归还"的英文是return，过去分词为returned。
3. 固定结构as much + 名词 + as possible 表示"尽可能多的……"，符合"获取尽可能多的知识"的语义。
4. 固定搭配consider sb to be... 表示"认为某人是……"，主语Tina是第三人称单数，谓语动词用一般现在时的第三人称单数形式considers。
5. 动名词短语作主语时谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式，固定搭配teach sb not to do sth 表示"教某人不要做某事"，"犯错误"的英文表达是make mistakes。
