高中英语语法单项选择题分类整理练习 介词
1. “You went late _______ the stadium yesterday evening, didn’t you?” “Yes, my wife was a little late _______ the supper.”
A. to, with B. for, with C. for, for
D. at, for
解析:答案应选 A。第一空填to 比较好理解,因为此处的late为副词,用以修饰 go to the stadium 中的动词go;而第二句的 with 则是许多同学不容易想到的,相反,更多地可能是想到 for,现将两者区别如下:be late for表示做某事迟到,而be late with 表示做某事做晚了(=be late in doing sth)。比较:
We were late for dinner. 我们吃饭迟到了。
We were late with dinner [=in having dinner]. 我们吃饭吃得迟。
句中 my wife was a little late with the supper 的意思是“我妻子准备晚饭稍迟了一点”。
2. _______ reading the letter, what has he done?
A. Because of B. Except C. Besides
D. But for
解析:答案选C。besides 意为“除……之外,还”。又如:
He has another car besides this. 除了这辆车外,他还有一辆。
Besides being a teacher, he was a poet. 除了是位教师外,他还是位诗人。
Did he do anything besides hitting you? 除了打你之外,他还有没有别的什么举动?
3. “How did the robber get in?” “______ an open window on the first floor.”
A. Past B. From C. Over
D. Through
解析:答案选D。through 意为“穿过,贯穿,经过,透过”。又如:
The train ran through the tunnel. 火车穿过隧道。
I saw you through the window. 我是透过窗子看到你的。
4. We were all worried over _______ you were sick.
A. that B. which C. what
D. the fact that
解析:答案应选 D。按英语习惯,除except, but 等极个别介词外,英语介词后通常不能直接跟 that 从句作宾语。遇此情况,通常是在 that 从句前加上 the fact,此时 the fact 用作介词宾语,而其后 that 从句则用作 the fact 的同位语。类似的有(答案选均D):
(1) They knew nothing about the fact that he was a thief.
(2) She must face up to the fact that she is no longer young.
(3) What he said at the meeting referred to the fact that he was interested in the project.
(4) Their belief is proved by the fact that the death penalty prevents murder.
(5) The writer is not satisfied with the fact that buses are too crowded.
5. He usually goes to work by bike _______ it rains.
A .except B. except when C. except for D. except that
解析:答案选B。except when 和 except that 后均可接句子,但前者含“当……的时候”的意思,而后者则没有这个意思。
6. I found the island a wonderful place for our experiments _______ the hot weather.
A. besides B. except
