我可以用现金/美元付款吗？ You can pay by check or by credit card. 你可以用支票或信用卡付款。 根据题意，选项A、C不能与cash搭配，因而只有选项D是正确答案。 4.正确答案为选项A。 本题测试介词in 的用法。全句可译为：每一条出现在我眼前的狗都使我非常害怕。“come in sight”属固定搭配，意为“出现在眼前”、“显现”，因而选项A符合题意，为正确答案。 5.正确答案为选项C。 本题测试介词in的用法和形容词near与介词to的搭配。全句可译为：该动物大脑的大小十分接近人的大脑。形容词near表示“接近”时，后接介词to；介词in可以表示“在((方面”，根据句意，选项C为正确答案。例如： My dress is near in colour to yours. 我的连衣裙颜色和你的差不多。 6.正确答案为选项A。 本题测试介词due to的用法。全句可译为：有些地区因天气情况恶劣而几乎渺无人烟。四个选项中，只有选项A) due to表示“因 为”，切合题意，所以是正确答案。例如： His absence was due to the storm. 由于暴风雨，他没能来。 注意介词owing to也可表示“因为”，但通常不用在动词to be之后，因而不能替换上面这个句子中的due to。但在其他动词之后，两者均可使用。例如： He arrived late due to/owing to the storm. 由于暴风雨，他来迟了。 7.正确答案为选项D。 本题测试介词but for的用法。全句可译为：要不是洪水的话，船本来可以准时到达目的地。根据题意，选项D是正确答案。“But for(”相当于“If it had not been for(”。例如： But for the traffic jam, we would have arrived in time. 要不是因为交通阻塞，我们本可以按时到达。 8.正确答案为选项B。 本题测试介词for的用法。全句可译为：他因无证开车而受到重罚。根据题意，选项B) for为正确答案。例如： I got a $40 fine for speeding. 我因超速而被罚40美元。 选项C) with也可以表示“由于”、“因为”，但它通常只与表示情绪的名词连用。例如： My brother jumped with excitement. 我兄弟兴奋得跳起来。 9.正确答案为选项D。 本题测试介词at的用法。全句可译为：回收利用废物可以减缓人类消耗地球有限资源的速度。名词rate通常与介词 at连用，意为“以((的速度”等。例如： We drove at a steady rate. 我们以平稳的速度开车。 本题其余三个选项都不能填入空格，所以选项D为正确答案。 10.正确答案为选项B。 本题测试介词at的用法。全句可译为：我们全家最后一次团聚是在四年前我弟弟的婚礼上。根据题意，只有选项B) at可以与ceremony搭配。例如： The new graduates receive their degrees at a special ceremony. 毕业生在一个特别的典礼上接受颁发的学位。 11.正确答案为选项C。 本题测试介词by的用法。全句可译为：这是一幢乡下小房，但按照城里的标准来说就算大的了。根据题意，只有选项C) by能与urban standards搭配。例如： You must play by the rules. 你们必须按照规则来比赛。 12.正确答案为选项B。 本题测试介词by的用法。全句可译为：据统计，自1850年以来地球表面温度已升高0.25度到0.75度。四个选项中，只有选项B) by可以表示“（数量、程度）达到((”之意，与题意切合，所以是正确答案。例如： The price of oil fell by a further $2 a barrel. 每桶油价又跌了2美元。 They overcharged me by £3. 他们多收了我3英镑。 13.正确答案为选项D。 本题测试介词beyond的用法。全句可译为：使我无法理解的是，为什么这样一张在其他方面都很优秀的报纸，会允许刊登这样一篇文章。beyond可以表示“（在能力、理解力等方面）非((可及”，因而选项D为正确答案。例如： It’s beyond me ( = too hard for me to understand ) why she married him. 我实在不明白她为什么要嫁给他。 14.正确答案为选项B。 本题测试介词given的用法。全句可译为：考虑到关于德国经济强大的说法，它实际上相对而言是如此弱小这一点有些令人吃惊。四个选项中，只有given可以表示“考虑到”，因而选项B为正确答案。例如： Given their inexperience, they’ve done a good job. 考虑到他们缺乏经验，这工作算是做得不错了。 15.正确答案为选项D。 本题测试介词despite的用法。全句可译为：尽管科学不断发展， 老年病痛无疑总是伴随着我们。四个选项中，只有选项D) Despite 可以表示“尽管”，所以是正确答案。例如： He came to the meeting despite his illness ( = though he was ill ). 尽管生病，他还是来参加会议。 despite与in spite of同义，但它比后者更为正式。 16.正确答案为选项C。 本题测试介词regardless of的用法。全句可译为：尽管有人警告他执行这项使命会有危险，他还是义无反顾。选项C) regardless of切合题意，可以表示“尽管”、“不顾”等意思。例如： They decorated the house regardless of cost. 他们不惜工本装修这座房子。 选项A) in case of意为“万一”；选项B) because of意为“因为”；选项D) prior to意为“在((之前”。它们均与本题意思不合。因此，只有选项C为正确答案。 17.正确答案为选项A。 本题测试介词after的用法。全句可译为：这座桥是以一位为人民事业而献身的英雄的名字命名的。介词after可以表示“以((而命名”。例如： The boy was named after his uncle. 这个男孩以他叔叔的名字命名。 由此可见，选项A切合题意，为正确答案。 18.正确答案为选项D。 本题测试短语介词in favour of的用法。全句可译为：所有赞成这项提议的，请举手。根据题意，选项D为正确答案。例如： I’m in favour of the reforms. 我赞成改革。 句中介词短语in favour of the proposal修饰those，作后置定语。选项A) in relation to意为“与((相比”；选项B) in contrast to 意为“与((形成对照”；选项C) in excess of意为“超过”。它们与本题句意均不相符。 19.正确答案为选项B。 本题测试短语介词in addition to的用法。全句可译为：除了应用于工业方面以外，激光还可以应用于医院手术中。选项B意为“besides”，切合题意。选项A虽然也可表示“除了”，但其含意为 “without considering”，与题意不符。选项C意为“away from”；选 项D意为“despite”。它们均不符合题意。 20.正确答案为选项B。 本题测试介词until的用法。全句可译为：英国大多数做母亲的人直到最近才走出家门从事有偿劳动。“not(until”这一结构表示“直到((才”的意思，所以选项B为正确答案。例如： The problem has never really arisen until now. 这个问题直到现在才真正显露出来。 本题其他三个选项都不能用于上述结构，所以只有选项B为正确答案。 21.正确答案为选项D。 本题测试介词but的用法。全句可译为：那件事事关重大，我别无选择，只好请警察来。but作介词用时，与except同义，意为“除了((以外”，其用法如下： 1) but通常只用于every, any, no（以及含有这些词的复合词everywhere, anything, nobody等）, all, none等词或疑问词who, where, what等之后。例如： They gave a toy to everyone but me. 他们给了每人一件玩具，就是没给我。 Who else but John would have played a trick like that? 除了约翰，还有谁会如此恶作剧呢？ We are all here but Mary. 除玛莉外，我们都在这里。 因此，上面三个句子中的but均可以用except替换。但在下面这个句子中，就不能用but： The window is never opened except in summer. 除夏天外，窗子从不打开。 2） 当but后紧接动词时，它与except一样，如果在它之前含有动词 do（包括do的各种语法形式），后接的动词则为不带to的动词不定式；如果在它之前是其他动词，but后应接带to的动词不定式。例如： The windows were never opened except to air the room for a few minutes in the morning. 这些窗户除了早晨通风几分钟外其他的时间都不开。 I couldn’t do anything except/but just sit there and hope. 除了坐等之外，我毫无办法。 We had no choice but to accept the majority decision. 除了接受大多数人的决定外，我们别无选择。 根据上述，显然只有选项D才是正确答案。 22.正确答案为选项C。 本题测试介词against的用法。全句可译为：这家商店在那次被抢劫之后，安装了复杂的报警系统以确保避免更大的损失。四个选项中，只有选项C) against可以表示“防止、提防”，符合题意。 23.正确答案为选项B。 本题测试名词与介词的固定搭配。全句可译为：很难猜测她对这个消息会有怎样的反应。在四个选项中，只有选项B) reaction能与介词to搭配，并且符合题意，所以是正确答案。 24.正确答案为选项B。 本题测试名词与介词的固定搭配。全句可译为：她流利的英语使她在竞争这项工作时比其他姑娘占优势。名词advantage应与介词over搭配，意为“对((具有优势”，所以选项B为正确答案。例如： Her teaching experience gave her a big advantage over the other applicants for the job. 她的教学经历使她比其他求职者具有更大的优势。 25.正确答案为选项A。 本题测试介词to的用法。全句可译为：老师们只是维护校方的利益而不是维护学生的利益的坚决程度，使我们深感震惊。which所引导的定语从句的先行词是extent。根据题意，要选择一个能表示“达到”这一意思的介词，放在which前面，选项A) to可以满足这一要求，所以是正确答案。例如： The water came ( right up ) to our necks. 水（一直）涨到我们的颈部。 26． 正确答案为选项D。 本题测试形容词与介词的固定搭配。全句可译为：警方对他所说的表示怀疑，因为他已有前科。形容词suspicious后接介词of，意为“对((表示怀疑”，所以选项D为正确答案。例如： I’m suspicious of excessive tenderness. 过分的温柔令我生疑。 27.正确答案为选项A。 本题测试形容词与介词的固定搭配。全句可译为：贝多芬是我最喜爱的音乐家，我认为他比其他所有音乐家都更优秀。superior to意为“better in quality or value”，superior本身就有比较级的含义，因而无比较级形式，它之前不能加more，它之后的to也不能改成than，因而只有选项A为正确答案。例如： Of the two books, I think this one is superior to that. 就这两本书而言，我认为这本比那本更好。 28.正确答案为选项D。 本题测试短语动词中介词的固定搭配。全句可译为：我在日记本的背面记录下要修理和更换的东西。make notes of为短语动词，由动词(make) +名词(notes)+of（介词）构成，为固定搭配，意为“记录”。选项D) of符合本题语义和结构两方面的要求，所以是正确答案。例如： Make notes of how much money you spend on the trip. 把旅途中的开支记录下来。 29.正确答案为选项A。 本题测试短语动词中介词的固定搭配。全句可译为：经理向顾客承诺：他的投诉会立即得到处理。see to为短语动词，由动词(see) + 介词(to)构成，为固定搭配，意为“处理、照料等”。选项A) to符合本题语义和结构两方面的要求，所以是正确答案。例如： You ought to have your eyes seen to by a doctor. 你应该找医生看看你的眼睛。 Will you see to the children? 请你照料一下孩子们好吗？ 30.正确答案为选项B。 本题测试短语动词中介词的固定搭配。全句可译为：我们爱好和平，但我们不是那种会屈服于武力威胁的人。yield to为短语动词，由动词(yield) +介词(to)构成，为固定搭配，意为“屈服于((”。选项B) to符合本题语义和结构两方面的要求，所以是正确答案。例如： We will never yield to oppressive rule. 我们绝不向高压统治屈服。 (考点练习( A) He was running ______ the pace he had learnt from the natives.
