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
【陷阱】容易誤選 B 或D。
【分析】答案應(yīng)選 A。第一空填to 比較好理解，因?yàn)榇颂幍膌ate為副詞，用以修飾 go to the stadium 中的動(dòng)詞go；而第二句的 with 則是許多同學(xué)不容易想到的，相反，更多地可能是想到 for，現(xiàn)將兩者區(qū)別如下：be late for表示做某事遲到，而be late with 表示做某事做晚了(=be late in doing sth)。比較：
We were late for dinner. 我們吃飯遲到了。
We were late with dinner [=in having dinner]. 我們吃飯吃得遲。
句中 my wife was a little late with the supper 的意思是"我妻子準(zhǔn)備晚飯稍遲了一點(diǎn)"。

2. Sometimes our opinions differ _______ what we choose to observe and how we deal with what we've observed
A. which B. since
C. because D. because of
【陷阱】容易誤選C。因?yàn)榘从⒄Z(yǔ)語(yǔ)法習(xí)慣，because是連詞，其后接句子；而because of是復(fù)合介詞，其后接名詞、代詞或動(dòng)名詞等。
【分析】此題答案選D。because 作為從屬連詞，主要用于引導(dǎo)原因狀語(yǔ)從句，既然是引導(dǎo)一個(gè)從句，也就是說(shuō)它的后面不能再連用"引導(dǎo)詞"。如：
He was angry because we were late. 他很生氣因?yàn)槲覀冞t到了。
They can't have gone out because the light is on. 他們不可能出去了，因?yàn)闊暨€亮著。
Bread is cheap in this supermarket because they bake it themselves.這家超市的面包是自制的，所以便宜。
假若，一個(gè)從句已經(jīng)有了自己的"引導(dǎo)詞"，那么它前面就不宜再用 because 這個(gè)連詞了。如：
She got angry because of what you said. 她哭是因?yàn)槟阏f(shuō)的話。
句中的 what 相當(dāng)于 the thing that，也就是說(shuō) what you said 相當(dāng)于 the thing that you said。其中 the thing 用作 because of 的賓語(yǔ)，而that you said 為修飾 the thing 的定語(yǔ)從句。
He lost his job because of how he treated his boss. 他因?yàn)閷?duì)老板的態(tài)度(不好)而丟了工作。
句中的 how 相當(dāng)于 the way in which，也就是說(shuō) how he treated his boss相當(dāng)于 the way in which he treated his boss。其中 the way 用作 because of 的賓語(yǔ)，而in which he treated his boss 為修飾 the way 的定語(yǔ)從句。

3. "How long have you been an actor?" "_______ 1995, when I graduated from college."
A. After B. In
C. From D. Since
【陷阱】幾個(gè)干擾項(xiàng)均有可能誤選。
【分析】最佳答案為D。若僅從答句來(lái)看，四個(gè)答案都說(shuō)得過(guò)去。但若結(jié)合問(wèn)句的語(yǔ)境以答案應(yīng)選D，因?yàn)槠溆嗳x項(xiàng)填入空格均不能回答問(wèn)句所提出的問(wèn)題。比較：
"When did you became an actor?" "_______ 1995, when I graduated from college."
A. After B. In
C. From D. Since
此題選B，因?yàn)閱?wèn)句問(wèn)的是when(何時(shí))，所以用 in 1995 來(lái)回答便順理成章。
請(qǐng)?jiān)倏磧深}：
(1) "How long have you worked on the farm?" "____ the end of last year."
A. In B. By
C. At D. Since
答案選D，用 since the end of last year 回答 how long，即問(wèn)句問(wèn)"工作了多久"，答句說(shuō)"自去年年底至今"。
(2) "How long will you work on the farm?" "____ the end of next year."
A. In B. By
C. At D. Since
答案選B，問(wèn)句問(wèn)"將工作多久"，答句說(shuō)"工作明年明底"。
(3) "When did you leave the farm?" "____ the end of last year."
A. In B. By
C. At D. Since
答案選C，問(wèn)句問(wèn)"何時(shí)離開(kāi)"，答句說(shuō)"去年明底離開(kāi)"。

4. Don't be angry _______ me for not having written. I was really too busy.
A. about B. with
C. to D. for
【陷阱】容易誤選C。根據(jù)漢語(yǔ)的"對(duì)某人生氣"，將其中的"對(duì)"直譯為to。
【分析】最佳答案為 B。按英語(yǔ)習(xí)慣，要表示對(duì)某人生氣，通常用 be angry with [at] sb，要表示對(duì)某事生氣，通常用 be angry at [about] sth(在美國(guó)英語(yǔ)中也用 be angry with sth，但不說(shuō) be angry with sb)。比較以下表達(dá)，其中的"對(duì)"也不用to來(lái)翻譯：
你對(duì)這些安排感到滿意嗎?
誤：Did you feel satisfied to the arrangements?
正：Did you feel satisfied with the arrangements?
老師應(yīng)該對(duì)他的學(xué)生嚴(yán)格要求。
誤：Teachers should be strict to their students.
正：Teachers should be strict with their students.

5. In those days, we had no phones, so we have to keep in touch _____ writing often.
A. with B. of
C. on D. by
【陷阱】容易誤選A。根據(jù) keep in touch with (與......保持聯(lián)系)這一常用搭配推出。
【分析】正確答案是D。by 在這里表示方式，by writing 意為"通過(guò)寫信"，全句意為"我們通過(guò)經(jīng)常寫信保持聯(lián)系"。請(qǐng)?jiān)倏磶桌?均與介詞搭配有關(guān))：
(1) We've talked a lot _______ films. How _____ television now?
A. of, with B. with, towards
C. about, about D. for, about
此題不要受 a lot of的影響而誤選A。若第一空選 of，a lot of cars 即為動(dòng)詞 talk 的賓語(yǔ)，但實(shí)際上動(dòng)詞 talk 是不及物動(dòng)詞，不能后接賓語(yǔ)。最佳答案應(yīng)是C，句中的a lot是修飾動(dòng)詞 talked 的狀語(yǔ)，talk about才是一個(gè)動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)。 全句意為"我們對(duì)電影已談了不少，現(xiàn)在談?wù)勲娨曉趺礃?" What about...意為"......怎么樣"，用于征求意見(jiàn)。
(2) We all regarded the poor old man ____sympathy.
A. as B. with
C. of D. by
有的同學(xué)一看到句中的 regard 和選項(xiàng)中的 as，馬上就聯(lián)想到 regard ... as ... (把......當(dāng)作......)這一搭配，從而斷定此題應(yīng)選A。但是錯(cuò)了，原因是將此搭配套入原句，句子意思不通。正確答案是B，句意為"我們大家都很同情這位老人"。
