(1)單項填空
Our athletes will some games, such as running and wrestling. They have the hope to get some gold medals. （2009·12·江西南昌一中檢測）
A. compete B. compete in
C. Join D. attend
(2)用方框內(nèi)所給短語的適當(dāng)形式填空 （原創(chuàng)）
compete with/compete against/compete for/compete in
①It’s difficult for small markets to big ones.
②Will you the 100-metre race?
③The two athletes will the gold medal.
解析： (1) 選B。compete的意思是“競技；比賽”，后面跟賓語時，用compete in表示“參加”；attend僅有“參加某項活動”的意思；表示參加活動也可以用join in。
(2)①compete with/against
②compete in ③compete for

be admitted (to/into) 被準(zhǔn)許進(jìn)入……

①他供認(rèn)駕駛了這輛沒有保險的車。
He the car without insurance.
②幸運的是，去年他被一所名牌大學(xué)錄取了。
Luckily, he a key university last year.
解析：(1) 選C?？疾榉侵^語動詞。動詞admit后常接動名詞作賓語，即:admit doing 或admit having done，意為“承認(rèn)做過某事”，據(jù)此排除A、D兩項。句意為：小湯姆承認(rèn)在考試中作弊了，并保證今后不再這樣做。由于第二個空白處前面沒有連詞and,因此admit與promise不是兩個并列的謂語動詞，用promised形式是錯誤的， 而要用promising作伴隨狀語，故答案為C項。
(2)①admitted driving ②was admitted to/into

vt. 代替；取代；替換
常用結(jié)構(gòu)：

單項填空
Bob is ill today. Who can him in our football match? （2009·12·福建廈門檢測）
A. Replace B. take place
C. instead of D. in the place of
解析：選A。根據(jù)句意此處有代替之意并且需要動詞作謂語，replace=take the place of。instead of是介詞短語，不能作謂語。
4. marry

可以說She married/got married two years ago.
或She has been married for two years.
或It’s two years since she married/got married.
但不可以說She has married/has got married for two years.
答案：①去掉to ②got→have been或for ten years→ten years ago

A. expects B. allows

解析：選D。由句意可知，此處為“女孩有希望成為優(yōu)秀的舞者”，只有promise有“有希望”之意。

②工會為縮短工作周而（與管理部門）討價還價。
解析：(1) 選D?？疾樵~義辨析。從句中的“at such a low price”可以判斷出前面要說的是“衣服很便宜”。英語中表示某東西買得便宜時可用 a good bargain這一固定搭配。

①The letters UN （代表） United Nations.

(1)解析：選D。mean, refer to都有“代表”的意思，但是stand for一般是指“符號、手勢、記號等”所代表的意義，而refer to指某個意思的對象；mean表達(dá)前面的語言的意義。如 “To give up doing something” means “ to stop doing something”.(放棄做某事也就是停止做某事。)“It” can be used to refer to a baby. (“It”可以用來指一個嬰兒。) “V” is often used to stand for victory. (“V”可以用來表示勝利。)

11. as well
意為“也，又，而且”，意思等同于too，also，但as well只能置于句末。
as well as意為“不僅……而且……，既……又……；除了……之外，還有……；和……一樣好”。
as well as作介詞用時，意思等同于besides,意為“除……之外”，后跟動詞時通常用v.-ing形式。
as well as連接主語時，謂語動詞的單復(fù)數(shù)形式取決于as well as前面主語的單復(fù)數(shù)形式。
may/might as well do意為“不妨……；還是……好”。
Are you coming as well?
=Are you coming, too?
=Are you also coming?你也來嗎？

A. as well B. as well as
C. so well D. so well as
②E-mail, as well as telephones, an important part in daily communication.
A. is playing B. have played
C. are playing D. play
解析： ①選B。as well as意為“和……一樣好”。“if not+better than”是一個插入語，去掉后，句子是Jack plays football as well as David。
②選A。當(dāng)as well as連接主語時，謂語動詞的單復(fù)數(shù)形式取決于前面的主語的單復(fù)數(shù)形式。
12. every four years
每四年；每隔三年
every與基數(shù)詞、序數(shù)詞、other或few連用，表示時間或空間的間隔，意為“每……；每隔……”。

14. I lived in what you call “Ancient Greece” and I used to write about the Olympic Games a long time ago.
我生活在你們所說的“古希臘”，我曾經(jīng)寫過很久以前的奧林匹克運動會的情況。
what 引導(dǎo)賓語從句，并在從句中作call的賓語，“Ancient Greece”作賓補。what相當(dāng)于the place that，因此what不能改為that，也不能改為where，因為where 只能作狀語。
used to do過去常常（做）……；曾經(jīng)……
易混辨析
used to do/be used to do/be used to doing
used to do sth. (would do) 過去經(jīng)常做某事

be/get/become used to sth./doing

解析： ①選A。be used to do意為“被用來做某事”，符合句意。
②選A。第一空there used to be意為“過去曾經(jīng)有”；第二空smoking作前面many people的后置定語。句意為：過去很多人在辦公室里吸煙，但現(xiàn)在誰也不允許這樣做了。

句子結(jié)構(gòu)為：nor/neither+系動詞/助動詞/情態(tài)動詞+主語。此句型是一個倒裝句，意為“……也不”，用于否定陳述句之后，說明后者的情況與前者相同。
用“so+助動詞+主語”結(jié)構(gòu)，表示肯定陳述句之后說明后者情況與前者相同，so it is with sb./It is the same with sb. 某人也是這樣。so it is with sb./It is the same with sb.結(jié)構(gòu)陳述兩種或兩種以上的情況，既可用于肯定，也可用于否定。

He not only said it, but also did it.
他不但說到了，而且也做到了。
Not only you but also he is responsible for it.
不僅你而且他也要為此事負(fù)責(zé)任。
