Ⅲ. 用方框中所给短语的适当形式填空。
a little be different from have in common make a great team as . . . as
1. Lucy Lily now because Lucy lost weight last year. She is thinner than Lily.
2. I think Emma is quieter than Ella. She seldom talks with others.
3. They look the same because they are tall each other.
4. Thanks to working together, we for success two years ago.
5. All New Year’s Eve parties —having a big dinner.

1. is different from
2. a little
3. as; as
4. made a great team
5. have in common

【分析】
首先明确方框内各短语的含义与用法：a little（可修饰形容词/副词比较级，表“一点”）；be different from（与……不同）；have in common（有共同之处）；make a great team（组成很棒的团队）；as...as（原级比较结构，表“和……一样”）。再结合每个句子的语境、时态、搭配要求，逐一匹配合适的短语并调整形式：
1. 句子描述Lucy和Lily的差异，需用be different from，主语是第三人称单数，时态为一般现在时；
2. 空格后是形容词比较级quieter，需用a little修饰；
3. 句子表“和……一样高”，用as...as原级比较结构；
4. 时间状语two years ago提示用一般过去时，短语make a great team需变过去式；
5. 句子表“有共同之处”，主语是复数，时态为一般现在时，用have in common原形。
【解析】
1. 句意：Lucy现在和Lily不同，因为Lucy去年减肥了，她比Lily瘦。结合语境选be different from，主语Lucy是第三人称单数，一般现在时，故填is different from；
2. 句意：我认为Emma比Ella安静一点，她很少和别人说话。a little可修饰形容词比较级，符合用法，故填a little；
3. 句意：他们看起来一样，因为他们和彼此一样高。as...as是原级比较的固定结构，故填as; as；
4. 句意：多亏一起合作，我们两年前为了成功组成了很棒的团队。时间状语two years ago表明用一般过去时，make的过去式是made，故填made a great team；
5. 句意：所有新年派对都有共同之处——吃大餐。have in common表示“有共同之处”，主语parties是复数，一般现在时，故填have in common。
【答案】
1. is different from
2. a little
3. as; as
4. made a great team
5. have in common
【知识点】
