【解析】

試題分析：考查對冠詞時態(tài)語法等的掌握情況。

【1】a 考查不定冠詞。用a泛指雙層巴士是倫敦的一個象征。

【2】to collect考查不定式。不定式表示目的：去迎接奧運會。

【3】has been uncovered�？疾闀r態(tài)及語態(tài)。由design和cover的關系可知，本句是被動語態(tài)，且由and連接的并列結構可知使用與has been同樣的現(xiàn)在完成時表達，即指一種新型的公交車已經(jīng)被設計好了。

【4】making 考查非謂語動詞�，F(xiàn)在分詞在句中作結果狀語，表示意料之中的結果。

【5】its/the考查代詞。its/the指代上文提及的新型巴士。

【6】competition 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。指幾家公司之間的競爭，因此使用compete的名詞。

【7】with 考查with的復合結構。這里是用with+賓語+現(xiàn)在分詞作賓補的符合結構形式。

【8】which考查定語從句。which引導非限制性定語從句，指代The new double-deckers，在句中作主語。

【9】attractive 考查形容詞。根據(jù)后面的名詞appearance說明這里用形容詞。

【10】what 考查名詞性從句。考查賓語從句，what在句中作為describe的賓語。
