【解析】

文章主要講述了學校組織了4×100米游泳比賽，作者所在的班級一開始就落后，但由于最后一位選手的游泳方式與其他人不同，導致與領先選手相撞，最后作者的班級獲勝的事情。

【1】句意：這不是一場嚴肅的比賽，只是課間有趣的活動。

awful糟糕的；difficult困難的；serious嚴肅的；根據句意理解及后句 just a fun activity between classes.可知，這里表達的是“不是一場嚴肅的比賽”，故選C。

【2】句意：我們班選出了三名參賽者。

chose選擇；praised表揚；discovered發(fā)現；根據句意理解可知，這里指的是“挑選參賽者”，故選A。

【3】句意：沒關系，只要他會游泳。

succeed成功；matter要緊；begin開始；根據后句as long as he could swim.只要他會游泳�？芍�這里表達的是“沒關系，不要緊”，故選B。

【4】句意：很快就落后于其他隊了。

waited for等待；fell behind落后；believed in相信；根據句意理解及前句Our team wasn’t good可知，這里表達的是“落后于”，故選B。

【5】句意：我們對他期望不高。

receive接受；prevent阻止；expect期望；根據句意理解及前文Jackie said, “I could be the fourth one, because I learned to swim in a river.”及It didn’t ___3___, as long as he could swim.可知，這里表達的是“期望”，故選C。

【6】句意：他遇到了正在另一條泳道游泳的杰基。

class班級；lane泳道；team團隊；根據句意理解及后句Jackie swam into the other’s lane (泳道).可知，這里表達的是“泳道”，故選B。

【7】句意：他只是仰著臉，用兩條腿把自己往前推。

myself我自己；herself她自己；himself他自己；根據句意理解可知，這里指代的是Jackie本人，Jackie是男性，所以應該用“他自己”，故選C。

【8】句意：幾秒鐘后，最好的游泳隊的運動員到達終點線，但他在我們的泳道上完成了比賽。

if如果；but但是；unless除非；根據句意理解，he swimmer from the best team reached the finishing line與he finished in our lane.之間是轉折關系，所以應該用轉折關系的連詞，故選B。

完形填空首先應該略讀全文，加以適當猜測，對全文的大意有所了解，然后再逐句擊破。因為文章的關聯性，很多用詞前后關聯，單從一句出發(fā)不易找到答案�？赡苓x項中不只一個單詞符合語法，但只有一個符合文章的意思。逐步填空，對照前后，填空時不要一空一空地去填。要對照前后部分。尤其是一個句子中多個空時，更需要你將臨近的一句或幾句作為一個整體來選擇。比如第七空He just kept his face up and used his two legs to push ___7___ forward.根據句意理解及上下文理解可知。這里指的“他自己”，所以用的是himself。
