（天津?qū)Ｓ茫?019高考英語二輪增分策略 專題一 語法知識 第12講 介詞與介詞短語優(yōu)選習(xí)題

第12講介詞與介詞短語1.Chinas soft power grows the increasing appreciation and understanding of China globally.(2018·江蘇，33)A.in line with B.in reply toC.in return for D.in honour of答案A解析句意為：中國的軟實力在增長，這與中國在全球范圍內(nèi)得到越來越多的欣賞和理解是一致的。in line with意為“與一致”，符合語境。in reply to回復(fù)，答復(fù)；in return for作為對的回報；in honour of為了向表示尊敬。2.Bob thought he couldnt go to the party because he had to write a report，but he went .(2018·天津，11)A.at first B.after allC.above all D.at random答案B解析句意為：鮑勃以為他不能去參加聚會了，因為他得寫一份報告，但他最終還是去了。after all意為“畢竟，最終，終究”，符合語境，故選B。at first起初，最初；above all首先，最重要的是；at

for時間”表示“約某個時間見面或?qū)δ硞€時間做出預(yù)約安排”。本句中的make an appointment for next Wednesday afternoon的意思是“約定下周三下午見面”。此題很容易誤選B項，表示具體的某一天的上午、下午、晚上時，前面的介詞用on，但是B項表示“在某個時間做或者發(fā)生某件具體的事情”。句意為：早上好，這里是李先生的辦公室。早上好。我想約下周三下午(和李先生)見個面。4.Determining where we are our surroundings remains an essential skill for our survival.(2017·江蘇，32)A.in contrast to B.in defense ofC.in face of D.in relation to答案D解析句意為：通過對比我們周圍的環(huán)境來確定我們的位置是我們生存的一項重要技能。結(jié)合句意可知，這里用in relation to“相對某事物而言”。in contrast

D.below答案A解析句意為：當(dāng)你駕車穿過加利福尼亞的紅杉林時，你會置身在那些樹齡超過1 000年的樹木之間。among在當(dāng)中，為所圍繞，符合語境。against以為背景，襯托；behind在后面；below在下面。6.We offer an excellent education to our students. ，we expect students to work hard.(2017·天津，13)A.On average B.At bestC.In return D.After all答案C解析句意為：我們向?qū)W生提供優(yōu)質(zhì)的教育，同時也希望學(xué)生努力學(xué)習(xí)。in return作為報酬，作為回報，符合語境。on average平均來看；at best充其量，至多；after all畢竟，終究。7.Many people who live along the coast make a living fishing industry.(2017·北京，35)A.at B.inC.on D.by答案B解析句意為：很多住在海邊的人們靠漁業(yè)為生?！霸谛袠I(yè)”用介詞in。此題容易忽視fishing后的名詞industry，以為是靠捕魚這種方式而錯選D項。8.The dictionary is ：many words have been added to the language since it was published.(2016·天津，2)A.out of control B.out of dateC.out of sight D.out of reach答案B解析考查“out of名詞”型介詞短語辨析。句意為：這部詞典過時了：自從它出版以來，這門語言已增添了許多單詞。out

graduate study in the United States.The first thing we should know is that the prices are different from school to school.The private colleges and universities generally cost more than public ones.Another thing to keep in mind is that not all students pay the “published price” of a school.Financial aid and scholarships may reduce the cost.The average published price for undergraduate study at a four-year public college was about seven thousand dollars.That was for students from “in state”.Students from other states as well as international students paid an average of more than eighteen thousand dollars.This is the bad newsinternational students often have to pay the highest prices.And these averages were only for tuition(學(xué)費).Food，housing，books and supplies can add ten to twelve thousand dollars a year.The College Board says the average tuition at a private college was about twenty-six thousand dollars.Many students save money by starting their education at a two-year public college，also known as a community college.The average tuition this year was about two thousand five hundred dollars.A few American colleges provide a free education，including the military and Merchant Marine academies.They accept some foreign students.Berea College is a small Christian school in Berea，Kentucky，which pays all first-year costs for its foreign students.But they are expected to pay one thousand dollars a year after that.Summer jobs are provided to help meet this cost.Costs for graduate study in the United States also differ from school to school，and even from program to program.Here too，public universities charge more for out-of-state tuition.For example，at the University of Kentucky，out-of-state graduate tuition averaged about eighteen thousand dollars this year.In-state was about nine thousand.16.The passage is mainly talking about .A.how much an undergraduate or graduate needs to pay for studying in the United StatesB.how an undergraduate or graduate can choose a suitable program or college in the USAC.how much a foreign undergraduate or graduate needs to pay for studying in the USAD.why so many undergraduates and graduates are studying in the USA答案A解析主旨大意題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容可知，本文講述的是一個本科生或研究生在美國上大學(xué)要花多少錢。故選A。17.Generally speaking，the annual cost of a foreign college student in a public college in the USA is .A.3640 thousand dollarsB.1719 thousand dollarsC.26 thousand dollarsD.2830 thousand dollars答案D解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Students from other states as well as international.more than eighteen thousand dollars.”以及“Food，housing，books and supplies can add ten to twelve thousand dollars a year.”可知，一般來說，在美國公立大學(xué)上學(xué)的外國大學(xué)生的年平均費用是2.8萬3萬美元。18.A foreign student who chooses Berea College is able to .A.get more career opportunities during summer vacationsB.reduce the cost of receiving education in the USA a lotC.have the chance to get along with world famous professorsD.earn a great deal of money when they are at college答案B解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Berea College is a small Christian school in Berea，Kentucky，which pays all first-year costs for its foreign students.”可知，選擇貝里亞學(xué)院的外國學(xué)生能夠減少在美國接受教育的費用。19.What should an American graduate do in order to save money according to the passage?A.He should choose a public university in his own state.B.He should choose those unfamous public universities.C.He should avoid changing his major at college.D.He should try to do some part-time jobs.答案A解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段及最后一段內(nèi)容可知，在州內(nèi)上大學(xué)的費用比去別的州上大學(xué)的費用低，所以為了省錢，學(xué)生應(yīng)該在自己的州選擇一所公立大學(xué)，而不能去其他地區(qū)上學(xué)。20.What can be inferred from the passage? A.The college tuition in America is higher than that in other countries.B.The higher the tuition is，the better the college is in the USA.C.Not all the parents in the USA will pay their childrens tuition of college.D.Some American students have to leave college because of the high tuition.答案C解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第一句可知，并不是所有的美國父母都支付他們孩子的學(xué)費，有的學(xué)生需要自己申請貸款去完成學(xué)業(yè)。.閱讀表達(dá)(2018·紅橋區(qū)二模)Sixteen years ago，I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi.Heres what happened.I got into a taxi，and we took off for Grand Central Station.We were driving in the right lane when，all of a sudden，a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.My taxi driver had to brake(剎車) immediately，and missed the black cars back end by just inches!The driver of the black car，who almost caused a big accident，started yelling bad words at us.My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.And I mean，he was friendly.So，I said，“Why did you just do that? This guy almost destroyed your car and sent us to the hospital！” And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call，“The Law of the Garbage Truck.”Many people are like garbage trucks.They run around full of garbage，full of frustration，full of anger，and full of disappointment.As their garbage piles up，they need a place to dump it.And if you let them，theyll dump it on you.When someone wants to dump on you，dont take it personally.You just smile，wave，wish them well，and move on.Youll be happy with what you did.Started thinking，how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work，at home，or on the streets? It was that day I said，“Im not going to do that anymore.”Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting.Good parents know they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses.Leaders and parents know that they have to be fully present，and at their best for the people they care about.The bottom line is that successful people do not let Garbage Trucks take over their day.21.W
