請再看兩題：

(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，即問句問“工作了多久”，答句說“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，問句問“將工作多久”，答句說“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，問句問“何時離開”，答句說“去年明底離開”。

5. 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B。根據漢語的“對某人生氣”，將其中的“對”直譯為to。

【分析】最佳答案為 B。按英語習慣，要表示對某人生氣，通常用 be angry with [at] sb，要表示對某事生氣，通常用 be angry at [about] sth(在美國英語中也用 be angry with sth，但不說 be angry with sb)。比較以下表達，其中的“對”也不用to來翻譯：

你對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?

老師應該對他的學生嚴格要求。

誤：Teachers should be strict to their students.

正：Teachers should be strict with              their students.

6. 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 keep in touch with (與……保持聯系)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“通過寫信”，全句意為“我們通過經常寫信保持聯系”。請再看幾例(均與介詞搭配有關)：

(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 即為動詞 talk 的賓語，但實際上動詞 talk 是不及物動詞，不能后接賓語。最佳答案應是C，句中的a lot是修飾動詞 talked 的狀語，talk about才是一個動詞短語。 全句意為“我們對電影已談了不少，現在談談電視怎么樣?” What about…意為“……怎么樣”，用于征求意見。

(2) We all regarded the poor old man ____sympathy.(www.hz123456.com)

A. as                                                        B. with

C. of                                                        D. by

有的同學一看到句中的 regard 和選項中的 as，馬上就聯想到 regard … as … (把……當作……)這一搭配，從而斷定此題應選A。但是錯了，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”。
