Answer key 10

1.(D) the trip 是一段时间,也是一条路程,可用 on 或 along。 2.(B) owing to 类似 because of,表示因果关系。A和D都要加上 to 才能当短语 用,C的 viewing 不能当介系词用,只有 considering 可以这样使用。 3.(C) 用 at the sound 表示“听到声音那一刻,马上就冲出来”。 4.(B) a right to 表示“对于某事的权利”,是常用短语。 5.(C) 表示长宽(面积)的“ × ”读为 by。 6.(B) through 表示头尾包括在内,故一周中只有 Sunday 不开。 7.(B) 这是双重所有格,以 a home of his own 的方式来同时表示 a home 和 his own home。 8.(D) “以……之单价出售”,应用 at。 9.(A) 每周计算应用 by the week。 10.(C) 空格前的 to 是 close to 的一部分,应当介系词看待,因而要接动名词作宾 语。 11.(A) with prices so high 是以介系词短语方式来减化副词从句 be cause prices are so high。答案 C 的后面应改为 because of high prices 方可。答案B 和D都是从属连接词,可是后面的从句缺了动词。 12.(B) 本句中 the sun 指阳光,是立体的范围,故用in。 13.(B) on a cup of coffee…表示“只靠一杯咖啡……(来维持体力)”。 14.(B) becoming to one 表示“很适合某人(穿戴)”。 15.(A) 因为下文说 blurred (模糊),故选 out of focus (没对好焦距)。 16.(B) 下文说观众哄堂大笑,前面则是“场合严肃”,故要表示“相反”的关系( A 或 B )。而A的 although 是从属连接词,不能连接名词短语 the seriousness, 故用介系词的B。 17.(D) “除了”可手提,还可提供高品质音响。这个“除了”是“除了这还有那” 的意思,应用 besides。C的 beside 是“在…旁边”,A的 aside 是副词,B 的 far from 则是“决非……”。 18.(A) except for表示“除了……以外”,表示“这个不算”。 19.(D) regardless of 是“不顾,不管”。 20.(C) on behalf of 是“代表”。
