参考答案 1.【参考答案】将lies改为lying。
【参考译文】 没有别的体育场位置能与伯纳贝乌体育场位置相媲美了，它位于卡斯特拉纳，位于穿越马德里市中心这条高速公路的三叉路口。
【试题分析】 本题辨析主句与分词状语关系的误用。
【详细解答】 lies as it does on the Castellana ，虽然主语应该是Bernabeu，但由于前面Few football grounds boast a more prestigious address than the Bernabeu是比较级的句子，而且比较对象很明确：是Few football grounds 与the Bernabeu，而lies的误用，导致了句子结构的混乱。鉴于lies as it does…是对the Bernabeu的补充说明，故将lies改为lying，使之与后面的句子变成状语，就解决了问题。
2.【参考答案】将threelining改为threelined。
【参考译文】 译文同上句。
【试题分析】 本题辨析分词作定语时的误用。
【详细解答】 threelining与其修饰词highway的逻辑关系是被动的。而现在分词往往是与其修饰词的关系是主动的。因此，将threelining改为threelined。
3.【参考答案】将as改为Though。
【参考译文】 尽管皇家马德里队的历史可追溯到1902年索西达德马里足球俱乐部队成立之时，但是直到1920年，俱乐部才被允许在其名字之前 冠以“皇家”二字。
【试题分析】 本题辨析连接词的误用。
【详细解答】 Real date back to 1920与it was not until 1920 that the club was granted permission to use the Realprefix之间的逻辑关系应是转折关系，而as的误用导致了关系的混乱。改为表示转折的Though/Although。
4.【参考答案】将when改为that。
【参考译文】 译文同上句。
【试题分析】 本题辨析连接词的误用。
【详细解答】 强调句与定语从句的区别主要有两点：引导词与引导词前后的句子的结构。强调句的连词除了强调人可以是who 以外，都用that。另外一点，强调句前半部分是“It is…”，句意不完整，that后面的部分也不完整，只有将It is …that中间的成分移到后面才完整。本句是强调句，而不是定语从句，故when属误用，须将when改为that。
5.【参考答案】将on改为for。
6.【参考答案】将staggered改为staggering。
7.【参考答案】将proving改为proven。
8.【参考答案】将won改为winning。
9.【参考答案】将This改为It。
10.【参考答案】将like改为as。
