【解析】

试题分析：通过阅读并修改此短文，考查学生对固定搭配，动词时态和语态，名词的单复数问题，以及非谓语动词的辨别和运用。

【1】start → started 考查谓语动词的形式。句意：古代奥运会始于公元前776年，这是发生在过去的事情，谓语动词应该用过去式started。

【2】compete → competitors 考查名词的复数。句意：从那以后数以千计的竞争者从世界各地来参加四年一次的奥运会来争夺金牌。 thousands of 后面应该用可数名词的复数形式competitors， compete是动词，竞争，不能做主语。

【3】去掉 a 考查固定搭配。taken part in 是固定词组，意思是：参加。

【4】by → for 考查固定搭配。句意：奥运会会旗上的五环代表由五大洲。stand for 代表。

【5】Which → As 考查固定搭配。句意：众所周知，能被选举办奥运会是北京的一大责任。As is known to all 众所周知。

【6】responsible → responsibility 考查名词。it is a great 后面应该用名词responsibility。

【7】添加 in 考查介词。a special village 做live in 的宾语。live 是不及物动词，所以要加介词才能跟宾语。

【8】take → taking 考查非谓语动词。be fond of 后加动词-ing形式。所以用taking。

【9】our → their 考查代词。try one’s best 中的one’s 要和主语一致，more athletes相当于they，所以形容词性的物主代词就是their。

【10】agreeing → agreed 考查非谓语动词。动词-ing形式做定语表示主动或正在发生，动词-ed形式表被动、完成。这里是standard标准“被认可“用agreed。
