We will 　　　　　　　　 (竞争) with three strong teams in tomorrow’s match. 【答案】compete 【解析】句意：在明天的比赛中，我们将与三支强队竞争。空格前“will”后接动词原形，构成一般将来时；表示“竞争”的动词是compete，compete with sb.为固定搭配，表示“与某人竞争”。故填compete。 2. 　　　　　　　　 (穿) her baby 　　　　　　　　 (花费) her half an hour every morning. 【答案】① Dressing    ② takes 【解析】句意：每天早上给宝宝穿衣要花费她半小时。“dress”作动词表示“给……穿衣”，用动名词形式作主语，句首首字母大写，句子时态是一般现在时，动名词作主语，谓语动词用单数形式，take意为“花费”，此处用“takes”。 3. Where do you think this pressure c　　　　　　　　 from? 【答案】comes##omes 【解析】句意：你认为这种压力来自哪里？句中的do是助动词，后面接主语you，再接动词原形think，构成特殊疑问句。“where do you think”后面是一个宾语从句，从句主语是this pressure（第三人称单数），所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式comes。短语come from表示“来自”。 4. This is the 　　　　　　　　 (unique) freestyle training plan that our coach has ever designed. 【答案】most unique 【解析】句意：这是我们教练曾经设计过的最独特的自由式训练计划。句中有the以及定语从句that our coach has ever designed，表示在全部设计过的计划里作比较，要用形容词最高级，unique的最高级为most unique。故填most unique。 5. Each of these boys 　　　　　　　　 (like) football. 【答案】likes 【解析】句意：这些男孩中的每一个都喜欢足球。like“喜欢”，“each of + 复数名词”作主语时，谓语动词应与each保持一致，强调个体，用第三人称单数形式likes。 二、完成句子 1. 两者都不真正适合我。 　　　　　　　　 is really suitable for me. 【答案】Neither 【解析】原句中“两者都不”是关键词，表示“两者都不”的单词是neither。本句为一般现在时，neither作主语时谓语动词使用单数形式；单词位于句首，首字母应大写，故填Neither。 2. 但是春天没有来, 夏天也没有来。 But spring 　　　　　　　　 comes, 　　　　　　　　 summer. 【答案】① never    ② nor 【解析】原句中“没有”和“也没有”是关键词，前句表示“春天从未到来”，应用否定副词never修饰动词comes；后句表示“夏天也未到来”，英语中表达“前者不发生，后者也不发生”时，可用nor引出并列的否定成分，此处省略了与前面重复的谓语动词，保留“nor+主语”。故填never；nor。 3. 运动员们训练多年以参加奥运会的选拔。 Athletes train for years to 　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　 for the Olympics. 【答案】① try    ② out 【解析】原句里“参加选拔”是关键词，对应的固定短语try out；句中to构成不定式表训练的目的，不定式结构要求使用动词原形try，再接out构成完整短语，语法、语义均匹配语境。故填try；out。 4. 南京作家鲁敏颇具写作天赋，刚刚获得了第二十一届百花文学奖短篇小说奖。 The Nanjing writer Lu Min 　　　　　　　　　 writing. She has just won the Short Story Award of the 21st Baihua Literature Award. 【答案】has a gift for 【解析】原句中“颇具天赋”是关键词，表示“颇具天赋”的短语是have a gift for；句子主语“Nanjing writer Lu Min”是第三人称单数，句子陈述客观事实用一般现在时，因此动词have需要变为has。 5. 露西既不会说法语也不会弹钢琴。 Lucy can 　　　　　　　　 speak French　　　　　　　　 play the piano. 【答案】① neither    ② nor 【解析】根据汉语提示和neither…nor…既不……也不……，链接两个相同的句子成分；故填(1). neither       (2). nor。 【点睛】both---and---两者都……，连接句子的两个相同成分，例如：Both Lily and Lucy are students.；neither----nor----既不……也不……，其含义是否定的，可连接任意两个并列的成分，当连接句子的两个主语时，谓语动词就近原则。例如：Neither dad nor mum is at home today；either---or---或者……或者……，表示两者之一，两节句子的两个并列成分，当连接句子的两个主语时，谓语动词就近原则。例如：Either you or I am going there。 6. 我们被鼓励在与其他班级竞争时保持团结。 We are encouraged to keep united when 　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　 other classes. 【答案】① competing    ② against##with 【解析】原句中“和……竞争”是关键词，对应短语“compete against”或“compete with”，when引导的时间状语作省略处理，主语we和动词compete是主动关系，动词变为现在分词competing。 三、单项选择 1. Both my father ________ my mother ________ teachers. A. and; is B. or; are C. and; are D. or; is 【答案】C 【解析】句意：我的父亲和母亲都是老师。 both...and...是固定搭配，意为“两者都”，连接两个并列主语时谓语动词用复数形式are。 2. The whole family ________ watching the Spring Festival Gala now. A. is B. are C. am D. be 【答案】B 【解析】句意：全家人现在正在看春节联欢晚会。 family是集体名词，当强调家庭整体单位时，谓语用单数；当强调家庭成员个体时，谓语用复数。根据句中“watching”和时间标志词“now”可知本句为现在进行时；此处family指代家里所有家庭成员，表复数概念，be动词要用are。 3. There ________ a big tree and some flowers in front of our classroom. A. is B. are C. am 【答案】A 【解析】句意：我们教室前面有一棵大树和一些花。 there be句型中be动词的形式要与离它最近的名词保持一致，离be动词最近的名词是a big tree，为单数，应填is。 4. Everyone in our class ________ English very hard now. A. study B. studies C. studied 【答案】B 【解析】句意：现在我们班的每个人都很努力地学习英语。 考查时态和主谓一致。study学习，动词原形；studies学习，动词第三人称单数形式；studied学习，动词过去式。根据“now”可知，此处表示习惯性行为，句子应用一般现在时，主语“Everyone”为第三人称单数，谓语动词应用三单形式。故选B。 一、选词填空 阅读短文，从方框中选择恰当的词填入空白处，方框中的词可根据需要重复使用。  as   than   more   fewer   popular   big The Olympics have changed a lot over time. The first modern Olympics in 1896 were not as 　　　　1　　　　 as the games today. There were 　　　　2　　　　 events than now, and 　　　　3　　　　 countries took part.
