　　ANSWERS :

　　1.選I　空格中要填詞為who引導(dǎo)的定語從句中的謂語動詞，可知此處應(yīng)填動詞的過去式�？蛇x項有had, occurred和happened,首先空格所在的who引導(dǎo)的定語從句修飾的是tourists“游客”，happened to be in Greece“碰巧在希臘”是符合這樣的語境的，而had to “不得不”和occur to表示“想起，想到”都不能使句意通順。

　　2.選L　and引導(dǎo)兩個意思相近的并列結(jié)構(gòu)，由the standard was not high“標(biāo)準(zhǔn)不高”可知，此處要填的是和not high語氣一致的形容詞，再由前兩句可知，參賽的國家很少并且有很多很多游客參加了比賽，這說明這次比賽沒有那么正式，選項中只有informal符合題意。選項irregular則一般表示“(形狀)不規(guī)則的，(安排)無規(guī)律的”，與句意不符，故排除。

　　3.選M　從句中的except可知在兩次世界大戰(zhàn)中沒有比賽，說明的是奧運會因戰(zhàn)爭而中斷。選項中有end和interruption可表示停止，end“終斷”，表示某事中斷后不再繼續(xù)，interruption“中斷”，表示某事中斷后仍然繼續(xù)，故選擇interruption。

　　4.選J　本句主系表結(jié)構(gòu)完整，由此可知，此處應(yīng)填副詞，修飾整個句子。選項中有definitely和especially，從句意來理解，這......違背了古老的奧林匹克精神，將definitely“顯然地”帶入原文，符合原文的意思;而especially“特別地”表示強調(diào)，而此處表示的則是通過比較后得出結(jié)果，故排除especially。

　　5.選K　奧林匹克比賽中的兩個最重要的方面就是競技水平和運動精神，由grown enormously in scale可知，現(xiàn)在參加奧林匹克運動會規(guī)模漸大，運動員逐漸增多，因此應(yīng)理解為體育競技水平達(dá)到了前所未有的高度，因此應(yīng)選physical。

　　6.選D　此處應(yīng)填形容詞。由Unfortunately和because of the political prestige and commercial profit可推出，不幸的是各國競爭舉辦奧運的目的是為了政治威望與利益，可見此處說明的是與體育成績相對應(yīng)的運動會的道德水準(zhǔn)沒有得到相應(yīng)的提高，選項中只有moral符合題意。

　　7.選A　此處應(yīng)填名詞。各國爭奪舉辦奧運會，to hold the games是一種實力象征，也是一種榮耀。選項中有honour和power可選，power一般指“(個人或團體所掌握或獲得的)職權(quán)”，故排除power而選honour“榮幸”。

　　8.選C　此處應(yīng)填動詞的被動形式，這里考查的是動詞have的一個搭配用法即have something out of something“從......中得到......”，故這里選這C)had,表示“舉辦奧運會帶來的政治威望和商業(yè)利潤�！�

　　9.選H　cme to power是固定搭配，意為“(開始)掌權(quán)，上臺”。

　　10.選B　此處應(yīng)填動詞的原形。可選項有accomplish,arrive和end,arrive一般指“到達(dá)(某地)”，end強調(diào)的是“(使某事)結(jié)束”，因此都不能與journey搭配，故排除arrive和end而選accomplish“完成”。
