| I. compete; match
1. You can't ________ him in knowledge of wild plants.
2. We will ________ with each other for the prize.
3. Many Western countries have to ________ in trade against Japan.
【答案】 1. match 2. compete
3. compete
【点拨】 两者作动词用都可表示“比赛 / 竞赛；竞争”。compete侧重表示为争夺奖品或权益而进行对抗性的竞赛，尤指有组织、有目的的比赛，只作不及物动词用，后面常接介词in，against，for或with等。match侧重表示力量、技巧或知识方面不分上下或更胜一筹，作及物动词用时，其宾语可以是人或物。
II. effect; result
1. He is unable to go to work as a ________ of the fall from his horse.
2. A word from the teacher will have a great ________ on me.
3. Mr Black began to experience the evil ________ of smoking.
【答案】 1. result 2. effect 3. effect
【点拨】 两者作名词用时都可作“结果”解。 effect强调一种稳定、持续的结果，这种结果是由于某种原因而直接产生的。result强调最终的结果，这种结果有时是独特的、出乎意料之外的。
III. because of; because; for
1. He must be ill, ________ he is absent today.
2. I cannot go to school ________ sickness.
3. ________ he is too busy, he can't do it now.
【答案】 1. for 2. because of 3. Because
【点拨】 这组词语都可表示“因为”，但词性与用法不同。because of是短语介词，后接名词、代词或动名词，它引导的短语通常用作状语，表原因。because是从属连词，引导原因状语从句，从句置于主句之前时，用逗号与主句隔开；置于句末时则不需隔开。语气较强。for是并列连词，引导分句，其分句只能后置，且须用逗号与前面的分句隔开，表示补充原因或附加的理由。
IV. stand for; stand at attention; stand close to
1. It was raining heavily. Tom felt cold, so he ________ his father.
2. The letters PLA ________ the People's Liberation Army.
3. The students are ________ to listen to the official.
4. The dove ________ peace.
【答案】 1. stood close to 2. stand for 3. standing at attention 4. stands for
【点拨】 stand for意为“代表；代替；象征；支持；主张”。stand at attention意为“立正；全神贯注”。stand close to意为“靠近；接近”。
V. take part in; join; join in
1. He ________ the Eighth Route Army when he was 16.
2. He took his coat off and ________ the work.
3. How many Chinese athletes will ________ the 29th Olympic Games?
【答案】 1. joined 2. joined in 3. take part in
【点拨】 这组词或短语都可作“参加”解，但词性和用法有别。take part in是短语动词，指参加较为正式的群众性活动、会议或比赛等，强调参加的活动，也强调参加者的作用。join是瞬间动词，指加入某团体、人群或组织而成为其中的一员。join in指参加正在进行的比赛或活动。 |
