一、根据语境在横线上填写一个适当的词或用括号内所给词的适当形式填空
1. He is looking forward to trying out the singing competition.
2. He practises swimming every day to avoid competing stronger players without preparation.
3. Neither his homework nor his notes (finish) on time yesterday, so he was punished.
4. My best friend (compete) in the national swimming competition next summer holiday.
5. A number of students in Grade 9 (practise) running in the playground.

1. for 2. against 3. were finished 4. will/is going to compete 5. are practising

【分析】
本题考查英语基础语法知识，需结合固定搭配、主谓一致、动词时态等知识点解题：
1. 第1题考查固定短语搭配，需回忆try out的相关短语用法；
2. 第2题考查compete的固定搭配，需区分compete相关短语的含义；
3. 第3题考查neither...nor的主谓一致原则及被动语态，需注意就近原则、时态和语态的结合；
4. 第4题考查一般将来时的用法，需根据时间状语判断时态类型；
5. 第5题考查现在进行时的用法，需结合语境判断时态及主谓一致。
【解析】
1. 固定搭配：try out for是固定短语，意为“参加……的选拔”，故填for；
2. 固定搭配：compete against是固定短语，意为“与……竞争”，故填against；
3. 主谓一致+被动语态：neither...nor连接两个主语时，谓语动词遵循“就近原则”，靠近的主语是his notes（复数）；主语与动词finish是被动关系，时间状语yesterday表过去，因此用一般过去时的被动语态were finished；
4. 一般将来时：时间状语next summer holiday表将来，主语my best friend是单数，一般将来时结构为will+动词原形或be going to+动词原形，故填will/is going to compete；
5. 现在进行时：语境表示“正在操场练习跑步”，a number of students（许多学生）是复数，现在进行时结构为are+动词现在分词，故填are practising。
【答案】
1. for 2. against 3. were finished 4. will/is going to compete 5. are practising
【知识点】
固定搭配、动词时态、主谓一致
【点评】
本题围绕英语基础语法展开，涵盖固定短语、时态、主谓一致等核心考点，侧重考查学生对基础知识点的掌握与应用，题目难度适中，适合巩固英语基础。

二、语法知识串联 根据短文语境填空

1. is preparing 2. am 3. train 4. to win 5. wants 6. is 7. are looking/look 8. will pay

【分析】本题为语法语境填空题，需结合语境和语法规则逐一分析每个空：1. 由“运动会即将到来”可知动作正在进行，主语everyone为单数，用现在进行时；2. either...or连接主语遵循就近原则，靠近的主语是I，be动词用am；3. both...and连接主语为复数，用一般现在时；4. 考查固定搭配hope to do sth；5. neither...nor连接主语遵循就近原则，靠近的主语是my best friend（单数），谓语用单数；6. class此处指班级整体，谓语用单数；7. as well as连接主语遵循就远原则，远离的主语是all the students（复数），时态可选用一般现在时或现在进行时；8. 由时间状语in the end可知用一般将来时。
【解析】1. 语境体现动作正在进行，主语everyone是单数不定代词，现在进行时结构为am/is/are + doing，故填is preparing；2. either...or连接并列主语时，谓语动词与靠近的主语保持一致，靠近的是I，故be动词用am；3. both...and连接两个并列主语，谓语动词用复数，结合every day的一般现在时标志，故填train；4. 固定搭配hope to do sth（希望做某事），故填to win；5. neither...nor连接并列主语时，谓语动词与靠近的主语保持一致，靠近的是my best friend（单数第三人称），一般现在时，故填wants；6. class此处指班级这个整体，视为单数，故be动词用is；7. as well as连接并列主语时，谓语动词与前面的主语（all the students）保持一致，复数，时态可选用一般现在时或现在进行时，故填are looking/look；8. 时间状语in the end（最终）体现将来的动作，用一般将来时，故填will pay。
【答案】1. is preparing 2. am 3. train 4. to win 5. wants 6. is 7. are looking/look 8. will pay
【知识点】主谓一致、动词时态、固定搭配
【点评】本题考查基础语法的综合运用，涵盖主谓一致的就近/就远原则、不同时态的判断及常用固定搭配，需结合语境分析语法规则，难度适中，适合巩固基础语法知识。
