“语法填空”答案及解析:

32. who。指人,且用作主语,故用 who。
33. as。考查honour…as…结构,其中的 as 意为“作为”。
34. settled。注意用过去分词,考查“get+宾语+过去分词”结构,getting me settled into…的意思是“安排我住进……”。
35. a。表示不确指概念,故用不定冠词。
36. where。引导定语从句,用作地点状语;定语从句修饰名词a small town。 37. other。指其他的村民(from www.nmet168.com)。 38. merrily。因为是用作状语,修饰动词,故要用副词形式。 39. for。考查 reward sb for sth 结构,其意为“因某事报答人”。 40. her。因前面提到是一位 old woman,故用 her。
Sports should help a man to learn fairness, not only in games but also in and for life. If two teams play 31 game, one team must lose. If a dozen teams attend an athletic competition, 32 team will get the most points and all the 33 eleven teams will get 34 points. If a school team comes out last, that is no loss of face. 35 that team and that school must do is admit that it 36 (lose). The only intelligent reaction 37 defeat must be: next year we will do our best to come out on top, because from now on our team will devote 38 to a stricter course of training under competent instructors.
Lessons 39 (learn) in sports can help us in our dealing with other people. But even more 40 (value) are the lessons learned in extra-curricular activities in school: in speech, dramatic and musical contests, in “house” activities, and, especially, in the student council.
【答案与解析】
31. a。因为game为单数可数名词。 32. one。指其中的一个队。
33. other。指12个队中的另个11个队。 34. fewer。因points为可数名词的复数。 35. What。What在此用作动词 do 的宾语。
