答 案

1．【答案】C 考查enjoyment的习惯用语。for enjoyment意为“为了寻求乐趣。”例如，We work in the garden for enjoyment.我们为寻求乐趣而在园子里劳作。

2．【答案】C 句意为“因为缺少空间，越来越多的高层建筑在城市中被建造。”A项意为“寻找……”；B项意为“代替，替代”；C项意为“缺乏，短缺”；D项意为“担心，害怕”。据句意可知，C项符合。

3．【答案】D in place of为“代替”；in agreement with为“赞同”；in exchange for为“作为……的交换”；in spite of为“尽管”。句意为“政府官员向人们所要钱物来交换对我们的帮助是不合法的。”

4．【答案】B 句意为“到目前为止我们为打造低碳经济已经做了很多努力，但是这远远不够。我们还要继续努力。”题目中的ideal是指“完美的，理想的”，far from ideal意为“离完美还很远，远远不够”，“far from”一般加名词或者形容词，表示“离……很远，或者达不到……状态”。A“next to”“靠近”，意义相近。C“out of ”“出于”，相当于“with”；D“due to”后面一般跟名词，解释为 “由于”，相当于“because of ”。

5．【答案】D 考查in的词组。in all意为“共计”；in fact意为“实际上”；in short意为“简而言之”；in return意为“以作为回报”。

6．【答案】C 方式方法可以用by也可以用with，by + n.（方式），with +修饰词 + n.（工具）。

7．【答案】C 句意为“我同意他的建议，条件是他放弃所有指控。”介词on和the condition that一起相当于一个连词，引导条件状语从句，意思是“条件是，以……为条件”。

8．【答案】B 根据句意“肖恩已经养成了每天沿着绿荫大道慢跑2小时的习惯。”表示“沿着”时，应该选B。

9．【答案】D 根据动词travel可判断此处应填关于路程的介词词组，本题即为as far as远到……。

10．【答案】D 句意为“吉姆累了，背倚着树，很快就睡着了。”against此处意为“倚着，靠着”；below意为“在……下方”；beside意为“在……旁边”；in意为“在……里面或（时间）……之后”。

11．【答案】D 句意为“我父亲警告我不要去西海岸，因为那里挤满了游客。”句中谓语动词warned和介词against搭配，构成warn sb. against doing sth.相当于warn sb. not to do sth.，意思是“警告某人不要干某事”。

12．【答案】C 分析四个选项的意思：by nature意为“天生地”；in return意为“作为回报，作为交换”；in case意为“万一，以防”；by chance意为“偶然地”。句意“我想我之前已经跟你谈论过这件事，但是以防万一，我再问你一次。”

13．【答案】D I don’t have enough money with me.意思是“我没有随身带那么多钱。”

14．【答案】B 主句中be closed是延续性动词，until在肯定句中表示谓语动作延续到表示的时间为止。句意为“商店将停业修缮，直到开业再作通知。”

15．【答案】D in color意为“变色”，固定搭配。

16．【答案】A 应答句中的I guess是插入语，因此所填介词与challenge连用，表所属，用of。

17．【答案】A through the tough years，表示经历/度过了艰苦的岁月。句意为“毕业的时候是你感谢那些曾经帮助你度过那些艰苦岁月的人们的好机会。”

18．【答案】C 根据句中的step aside“让位”可知老师们的观点更倾向于年轻的人来担任校长这一职位。本句意思是“当被问及对校长的看法时，很多老师更希望看到校长让位而支持比他更年轻的人。”in terms of意为“就……而言”；in need of意为“需要”；in favor of意为“支持，赞成”；in praise of意为“歌颂；赞美”。

19．【答案】D 通过前半句“I’ve been very busy”现在完成时，可知搭配用的时间状语为“在过去的两周里”，固定搭配用介词over the past couple of weeks=in the past couple of weeks。句意为“对不起，我没给你打电话，因为在过去的两周里我一直很忙。”

20．【答案】B 本题考查名词后的介词的固定搭配。此句中主语为answers，意为“解决办法”，作此意时后跟介词to或towards，故选B项。句意为“有时不容易找到解决食品安全问题的适宜的办法。”

21．【答案】B train做动词意为“训练”，句意是“我总是想做我一直受训的工作。”后面的定语从句说明是什么样的工作，应该是“我一直以来（完成时）为此（for）被训练（被动式）的”，介词for表目的。

22．【答案】D on有“关于”之意，故选D。句意为“尼克，你在去中国旅行前，读一些有关中国的书籍是有好处的。”

23．【答案】D below average意为“在平均分以下”；of不与average搭配；on average意为“平均”；above average意为“在平均分以上”。根据句意可确定选项。句意为“他是个好学生，大多数科目都在平均分以上。”

24．【答案】D in意为“在……里面”；by意为“在……旁边”；for意为“为了……”；from意为“从……”，符合语境。句意为“雪莉，一个真正爱读书的人，总是从图书馆带很多书回家去读。”

26．【答案】B far from意为“离……远，远非”；apart from意为“除……之外（还）”；instead of意为“代替，而不是”；regardless of意为“不管，不顾”。句意为“除了良好的服务以外，这家餐馆还提供不同种类的福建传统美食。”

27．【答案】C off意思是“离开……，隔着…… ”，表示“与……隔着一定的距离”。

28．【答案】D 句意“这套家具款式新潮，色泽明丽，与新式房屋和花园配套，但看起来与传统的房子和花园不相称。”D项意为“与……不相称”，符合句意。A项意为“毫无疑问”，B项意为“次序颠倒”，C项意为“看不见”，都与句意不符。

29．【答案】D mean在此表示“预定，指定”。The gift is meant for you. “这份礼物是给你的。”He was meant for an electrician.本来是准备把他培养成电工的。

30．【答案】D 考查介词，容易被思维定势带跑，看到too就想选择to。实际不难，本题考查介词本身含义，across表示“横穿、跨过”，想想裙子是如何穿的就能轻松解题。

31．【答案】D 句意为“没有什么比父母亲过多地提高对孩子的期望值更容易的了。”for parents“对于父母亲来说”，不定式是真正被比较成分。本句的关键是找到关键点，一方面的nothing is so... as结构，另一方面就是不定式的成分界定。

32．【答案】D 句意为“— 好吧，我已经受够了。我放弃！—你不可以逃避你的责任！”A意为“带着……逃走”；B意为“遇到，遭遇”；C意为“用完，耗尽”；D意为“从……中逃走，逃避”，根据短语的中文翻译，答案为D。

33．【答案】A 句意为“—感谢上帝你安然无恙！—我及时后退了一步避开了疾驰而来的车。”A意为“及时”；B意为“假使，万一”；C意为“在穷困中”；D意为“徒劳无功”。

34．【答案】C 句意为“布朗说他一点儿都不恼火。相反（on the contrary）他很高兴能够被透彻理解。”all in all意为“总而言之”；for one thing意为“其一”；by the way意为“顺便讲一下”，均不符合语境，故排除。解题的关键是对词组by no means=never（决不）的理解。

35．【答案】B two dogs所属与all anima-ls，故用介词of表示这种关系，如many of us我们其中的许多人，故答案B符合语境。from意为“从”；for意为“为了”；with意为“有”，均不符合语境，故排除。

36．【答案】A 考查介词as构成的短语用法区别。A意为“除……之外（还有），和”；B意为“只要”；C意为“与……一样多”（不用于肯定句）；D意为 “一……就”。此题句意：“这个培训计划除了可以提高你的收入40%之外，还能够让你在工作方面得到提升。”根据句意选A。

37．【答案】B 句意为“没有激情，人们就不会拥有创造性思维所必需的动力和快乐。”

38．【答案】A 所填介词与系动词be构成固定句型，意思是“反对”，选A。be for意为“支持，赞成”；be to意为“到达”；be with意为“和……在一起”，都与句意不符。
