1.Has your uncle ever been to Japan?

2.Suzhou has changed a lot in the past years.

3.My sister began to go to primary school at the age of 7

4.We should take actions to improve our living conditions.

5.In fact, I was born in Beijing and have lived there since then.

【解析】

1.考查现在完成时。根据关键词“曾经”可知叔叔现在不在日本，或者说已经从日本回来。这里要区别have/has been to和have/has gone to. 前者表示去过某地，人已回来。后者表示去了某地，人未回来。根据句意，故填入Has your uncle ever been to Japan?

2.考查现在完成时，根据关键词“在过去的几年里”和“发生了很大变化”，这是表示过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响或结果。故用现在完成时，故填入Suzhou has changed a lot in the past years.

3.考查时态，根据“七岁时”确定时态用一般过去时，七岁时用at the age of 7表示，开始做某事用begin to do sth.小学用primary school表示。综合考虑。故填入My sister began to go to primary school at the age of 7.

4.采取行动用take actions表示，改善生活状况用improve living conditions表示，“来改善我们的生活状况”这是一个目的，这里要用不定式作目的状语来表示。故填入We should take actions to improve our living conditions.

5.考查一般过去时以及现在完成时。“出生在北京”只表示的是一个事实，应该用一般过去时。“从那时起我就住在那”表示“住”这个动作从过去就开始发生，持续到现在，应该用现在完成时，故填入In fact, I was born in Beijing and have lived there since then.
