3、ch other?A.which B.in whichC.for which D.with which答案B解析本题考查定语从句。从句中compete为不及物动词,compete in 意为“在中比赛/竞争”,the sport为先行词,在定语从句中作compete in的宾语,故关系词用in which。4.No sooner stepped on the stage than the audience broke into thunderous applause.

4、A解析考查特殊句式。no sooner.than.引导时间状语从句,且当no sooner位于主句句首时,主句用部分倒装,即将主句中的助动词、系动词或情态动词提到其主语前,排除B、D两项;由从句时态可知用过去时,故选A项。5.Were glad that the party turns out .A.success B.a successC.to be succeed D.successful one答案B解析turn out可接名词或不定式;success表示“成功”时,为不可数名词;表示“成功的事或成功的人”时,为可数名词;由句意可知应是“证明是一件成功的事”,故B项正确。D项中succe
