(四)檢測介詞與其它詞語搭配的運用能力
    英語中介詞與其它詞語的搭配是一種非常常見的語言現(xiàn)象,例如:名詞+介詞,介詞+名詞,形容詞+介詞,名詞+介詞+名詞等,掌握好介詞的使用會有助于大家運用英語表達的能力。因此它也是各種考試中主要內(nèi)容之一。
    (1). He has accumulated much experience ______________ practical engineering.
    A. of B. in C. on D. at
    【答案】B
    【解析】在該題中,能和experience構(gòu)成短語的是介詞in,做后置定語,其它介詞不能與之搭配。我們中國學生一般憑想當然選用of的較多,這種易發(fā)性錯誤是由于不同語言表達的差異造成的。
    (2). The cause ________ he has been fighting all his life now seems meaningless at all.
    A. at which B. after which C. for which D. with which
    【答案】C
    【解析】這是介詞加關系代詞的例子,考慮介詞加關系代詞的用法時,一要看介詞與先行詞的關系,另外是看它與定語從句中動詞的關系。在該句中介詞for與動詞fight構(gòu)成一致關系。
    (3). It is said that he is at home ___________ several languages, and can communicate fluently without difficulty.
    A. with B. to C. at D. in
    【答案】D
    【解析】本題中考察的是be at home in的短語用法,意思是“精通,熟知”,與其它介詞不能搭配。
    (4). The company held a magnificent party in honor ___________ the respectable guests.
    A. of B. with C. for D. about
    【答案】A
    【解析】該題干中in honor of是一個固定搭配短語,屬于介詞+名詞+介詞的類型,意為“向...表示敬意, 為祝賀...”。
    (5). It is the driver, not the pedestrian, who should be responsible ___________ the traffic accident.
    A. for B. by C. to D. on
    【答案】A
    【解析】在本題所給的四個選項中,能與responsible匹配的是介詞for,意思是“對 … 負責”,其它三個選項都不正確
