21、ther.1.C句意为：奥运会旗帜上的五环代表什么？stand for“代表，象征”，符合题意。stand out“显眼，突出”；stand up“站立，站起”；stand aside“站到一边”。2B第一空考查不定式短语在句中作目的状语；因Olympic Games与hold之间是被动关系，且由时间状语in 2004可知，第二空处应用一般过去时的被动语态。3A由答语可知此处问的是频率，应用how often，意为“多久一次”。4B分析句子结构可知，第一个空应填副词instead。instead of与in place of是介词短语，replace是动词。第二空处应用关系代词which或th
22、at引导定语从句，关系代词在从句中作主语。5B句意为：我们希腊各个城市之间曾经为了赢得荣誉而彼此竞争。run for“竞选”；compete“竞争”；complete“完成”；beat“打败”。6B句意为：别的国家不能参加，奴隶和妇女也不能参加！为了避免句子部分内容不必要的重复，常用“sobe动词/助动词/情态动词主语”或“neither/norbe动词/助动词/情态动词主语”的倒装句式。其中第一个句式表示与前面所述的肯定情况相同，意为“也一样”；第二个句式表示与前面所述的否定情况相同，意为“也一样不”。由句意知选B项。“so主语be动词/助动词/情态动词”表示“的确如此”，表示对上文所说的话
23、的赞同或附和。7Dtake part in“参加，参与”，其后不跟宾语时，不用介词in。enough应置于所修饰的形容词之后。8Cas well作“也”讲时，通常用于肯定句，一般放在句末，不用逗号和前面的句子隔开；also作“也”讲时，多用于肯定句的句中；either作“也”讲时，多用于否定句。as well as表示“和，也”，作连词用，用来连接两个相同的成分；也有“除了之外(也)，与一样好”之意。.1.B细节理解题。由第一段最后一句可知，奥运圣火于1924年阿姆斯特丹奥运会上被重新引进，因此选B项。2D词义理解题。由“proposed”所在句的下一句可知Carl Diem的想法被采纳，由此推出该词应是“提议，建议”的含义，因此选D项。3A推理判断题。由第二段可知1936年Carl Diem提出传递圣火的主意被采纳，由此推出第一次火炬接力是在1936年柏林奥运会上进行的。4D细节理解题。由文章第二部分“Olympic motto”的第一句话可知，奥林匹克格言是从Father Henri Dideon of Paris那儿借鉴来的。
