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。
