文章大意：灰姑娘每天都要做很多家务，而继母和她的女儿则整日欺负灰姑娘。王子举行选妃舞会，灰姑娘在仙女的帮助下，漂漂亮亮地参加了舞会，并最终成为了王妃。
解析：
1.因There be句型为完全倒装，主语为a girl，故谓语动词是was。
2.因not only，..but(also)...连接两个并列分句，not only放在句首，其后分句需要部分倒装：从前后语境看，get该用一般过去时，而get是原形，故前面应加助动词did。
3.从could Cinderella get这一部分倒装可以推断，前面是“only+状语(介词短语)”。
4.seldom否定词放在句首时，句子需要部分倒装，又情态动词could提到主语前面了，因此gain用动词原形。
5.Not until...引导状语从句。
6.as/though引导让步状语从句，其表语poor提前了。
7.作地点状语的介词短语from the palace提前，句子用完全倒装，invitation(请柬)作主语，前面用不定冠词。
8.因否定词never放在句首时，句子需要部分倒装;这是过去完成时的被动语态.故填been。
9.此处的Were I...(=If I were...)表示与现在事实相反的假设。
10.no sooner...than...是固定搭配，意为“一……就”。
11.so...that...是固定搭配，意为“如此……以至于……”。
12.hardly...when...是固定搭配，意为“一……就……”。
13.灰姑娘的一个姐姐不适合，另一个姐姐也不适合。用neither/nor表示前面所述情况也不适合另一个人或物。

On the wall __10. are__(be) 100 pictures, which attract many students. An expert and teacher is explaining something important to us.
解析：
1.因there be句型中be动词常与离其最近的主语保持一致。
2.主语是the number of+名词的复数时，谓语动词用单数形式。
3.时间、金钱、距离、重量等的复数当一个整体来作主语时，谓语动词用单数。
4.关系代词who，that，which等在定语从句中作主语时，谓语动词的数应与句中先行词的数保持一致。
5.many a+名词作主语时，尽管意义上是复数，但因中心词是单数形式，谓语动词也用单数形式。
6.两个名词由and连接作主语时，谓语动词一般用复数。
7.当and连接的两个名词是指同一人时，谓语动词应该用单数形式。a professor and writer意思是“一名教授兼作家”。
8.由and连接的单数主语，前面有each，every，no等修饰时，谓语动词要用单数形式。
9.集体名词group，class，family，army，audience等作主语时，如果强调集体，谓语动词用单数形式;如果强调个体，谓语动词用复数形式。
10.在主谓倒装的句子中，谓语动词的数应与其后的主语保持一致。
