英语单项填空考试知识点——介词
主要考试知识点如下：
1. 容易见到介词的常用使用方法。如at, like, to, by, with, of, for, over等的基本使用方法。
2. 几组常用介词有什么区别。如表示“通过”的through / across / over；表示时间“在”的in / on / at；表示“在…后”的in / after；表示地址方位的in / on / to / at / by；表示“除…外”的but / except / besides / except for；与among与between，over与above，to与for等。
3.固定短语或习惯搭配中的介词。如已考过的有take notice of, walk / go over to, effect on, congratulations on, in sight, in other words等。
1. 题干结构复杂化，使其增加困难程度。
2. 考查的介词是常见的，但其使用方法却不只限于教科书，如考查over “在…时”。
介词的用法频率高，使用方法多而杂。一个介词有多种使用方法，一个接近的意思又可用不一样的介词来表达。因此，大家应该注意每一个介词的使用方法，并准时总结分类，弄清易混介词的使用方法异同，可以依据语境或交际条件灵活运用。除此之外，还要看重介词与动词、名词、形容词的习惯搭配。

1. D。over 意为“在…期间”。本题取自《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》P.1046的over词条的原句。句意为：大家一边喝茶一边愉快地聊天。
2. B。表示“对…产生后果 / 成效 / 影响”用effect on…。
3. D。What do you mean by that?意为“你那样说的意思是?”。
4. A。介词by表示到某事物的程度。又如The carpet is too short by three feet.。本题句意为：幸运的是，子弹在距离船长一英尺的地方与他擦肩而过，没射中他。
5. A。take notice of 是固定短语。
6. D。由下文可知，是问箱子的作用。with表示“用”某种工具。
7. C. have taken后是一个宾语从句；该宾语从句又是感叹句。其正常的语序是what little of my spare time there is，因为调换了词序，增加了困难程度。句意为：房子装修占据了我那样少的空闲时间。
8. B。at表示缘由。be wild with joy at… 意为“为…而欣喜若狂”。at常接在某些表示情感变化的形容词或动词等后面表示缘由。
9. A. 表示某物体从内部“穿过”窗户要用through。across 指从平面的一边“横过”到另一边；over指“越过”某个障碍物。
10. C。with 意为“由于，因为”。as作连词时才可表示缘由。
11. A。表示增加或降低了多少，要用介词by。
12. D。seat指车上、戏院、音乐厅等的“座位”；Madame Curie是电影名字；表示“某部电影座位”，用for。又如book two seats for the concert订两张音乐会的票。
13. A。介词like意为“像…一样”。句意为“像大部分学生一样，她一直做好筹备，上课从来不迟到。”。as作为…；for / to sb 对于某人来讲。
14. C。by意为“不迟于”，表示“在5:40前我需要到达车站。”until与一定句连用表示结束的时间，即“我不能不一直呆在车站直到5点”。after 和around 与语境不符。
