高考英语介词考点
一、考查热点介词的用法
例1: —When do we need to pay the balance? —____ September 30. (2006北京卷)
A. In B. By C. During D. Within
析:B。由语境逻辑可知,该空表示“到??为止”。
例

3: In order to change attitudes ____ employing women, the government is bringing in new laws.(2004北京春季卷)
A. about B. of C. towards D. on 析: C。该空表示“对??的(态度)”。 二、考查“动词+介词”短语的区别
“动词+介词”短语是最常见的介词短语,高考对其考查有下列几种可能性:( 1)考查“动词(不同)+介词(不同)”短语的区别。
例
1: The building around the corner caught fire last night. The police are now ____ the matter. (2006湖北卷)
A. seeing through B. working out C. looking into D. watching over
析: C。由主语和宾语之间的语境逻辑可以推出该空表示“调查”,因此应填looking into。see through看透;work out解出;watch over守卫,保护。 例2: —The boss said we had only three days to finish the work. —Don’t worry. We have already ____ two thirds of it. (2006四川卷)
A. got down B. got through C. given in D. given away 析:B。Don’t worry.与already之间的语境逻辑暗示该空表示“完成”,因此应填got through。get down下来,取下,写下;give in屈服;give away赠送,泄露,分配。 (2)考查“动词(相同)+介词(不同)”短语的区别
take, make, pick, turn, go, get, set, put, give, leave, keep, cut, call, pull等动词构成的不同介词短语是高考考查的重点。
例1: With no one to ____ in such a frightening situation, she felt very helpless.(2006陕西卷)
A. turn to B. turn on C. turn off D. turn over 析:A。helpless暗示该空表示“求助”,因此应填turn to。turn on打开;turn off关掉;turn over翻开。 例2: The Internet has brought ____ big changes in the way we work. (2005北京春季卷) A. about B. out C. back D. up
析:A。主语和宾语间的逻辑性暗示该空表示“带来”,因此应用bring about。bring out拿出;bring back归还,使记起,使恢复;bring up 吐出,抚养。 (3)考查“动词(不同)+介词(相同)”短语的区别 由同一介词、不同动词组成的介词短语也是历年高考考查的重点。备考时应重点注意out, for, up, into, off, on, in, through, to等活跃介词构成的“动词+介词”短语。 例1: This picture was taken a long time ago. I wonder if you can ____ my father.(2005
湖北卷)
A. find out B. pick out C. look out D. speak out
析:B。was taken a long time ago暗示该空表示“挑选”,因此应填pick out。find out找出, 发现; look out当心;speak out直言不讳地说。
例
2: Could you please tell me where you bought the shoes you ____ yesterday? (2005辽宁卷)
A. tried on B. put on C. had on D. pulled on
析: C。 “你可以告诉我你昨天穿着的那双鞋是在哪里买的吗?” try on试穿; put on穿上(表动作);have on穿着(表状态);pull on很快穿上。 三、 考查“介词+名词/代词”短语的用法
“介词+名词/代词”是常见的介词短语,主要由by, for, in, on等活跃介词+名词/代词构成。 例1: I would like a job which pays more, but ____ I enjoy the work I’m doing at the momen(2006浙江卷)
A. in other words B. on the other hand C. for one thing D. as a matter of fact 析: B。but暗示该空表示“另一方面”,因此应填on the other hand。in other words换言之;for one thing首先,举个例说; as a matter of fact实际上。
例2: No one helped me. I did it all ____ myself.(2005全国卷I、II)
A. for B. by C. from D. to 析: B。No one helped me.暗示该空表示“独立地”,因此应用by oneself短语。for oneself 为某人自己,亲自;to oneself 独用地,在心中。 四、 考查“介词+名词+介词”短语的区别
“介词+名词+介词”也是常见的介词短语,开头介词多为in, for, at, by等活跃介词。
例
1: My sister was against my suggestion while my brother was ____ it. (2006陕西卷)
A. in favour of B. in memory of C. in honour of D. in search of
析: A。while的对比性语境逻辑暗示该空应填against的反义词,表示“赞成”,因此应填in favour of。in memory of为纪念;in honour of为纪念,为向??表示敬意,为庆祝;in search of寻找。
例
2: John became a football coach in Sealion Middle School ____ the beginning of March. (2005上海卷)
A. on B. for C. with D. at 析: D。at the beginning of在??一开始。 五、考查对“be+形容词+介词”短语的识别
“be+形容词+介词”短语中,形容词多半表示人的心理,介词多为with, of, about, to, for, in等活跃介词。
例: —You know, Bob is a little slow ____ under-standing, so... —So I have to be patient ____ him.(2005重庆)
A. in; with B. on; with C. in; to D. at; for
析: A。be slow in在??(方面)迟钝;be patient with对??耐心。 六、 考查对介词式插入语的区别
由介词in构成的插入语一向是高考考查的重点,常见的有in fact, in turn, in return, in general, in a word, in other words, in one’s opinion等。
例:
A clean environment can help the city bid for the Olympics, which ____ will promote its economic development. (2006山东卷) A. in nature B. in return C. in turn D. in fact 析: C。由语境逻辑可以推出该空表示“反过来”,因此应填in turn。in nature性质上;in return作为报答;in fact实际上。
七、考查对with引导的独立结构的识别
with+名词/代词+不定式/现在分词/过去分词/形容词/副词/介词均可构成独立主格结构。该结构在句中作状语,其中不定式强调未来动作,现在分词强调动作正在进行,过去分词强调被动动作。
例1:It was a pity that the great writer died ____ his works unfinished. (2004福建卷)
A. for B. with C. from D. of
析: B。由语境逻辑和句子结构可知,his works unfinished为“名词+过去分词”独立主格结构作伴随状语,因此前面可加with。
例2: ____ two exams to worry about, I have to work really hard this weekend.(2004北京卷)
A. With B. Besides C. As for D. Because of
析: A。two exams to worry about 构成名词+不定式独立主格结构作原因状语,表示未来动作,因此该空应填with。
八、考查对介词+关系代词which+不定式结构的识别
“介词+关系代词which+不定式”常作后置定语,表示“在/用??可??的”,被修饰名词往往为不定式所表示动作的地点或工具。
例: Frank’s dream was to have his own shop ____ to produce the workings of his own hands. (2005湖南卷)
A. that B. in which C. by which D. how 析: B。该空表示“在里面可??的”,因此应填in which,构成“介词+关系代词which+不定式结构”作后置定语。
九、 考查对介词+关系代词which/whom引导的定语从句的识别
介词+关系代词which/whom可引导定语从句。解题时可将定语从句与先行词连成一句,缺什么介词就由什么介词+which/whom引导定语从句。
例
1: I saw a woman running toward me in the dark. Before I could recognize who she was,she had run back in the direction ____ she had come.(2006重庆卷)
A. of which B. by which C. in which D. from which 析: D。定语从句与先行词可连成she had come from the direction,因此该空应填from which引导定语从句。 例
2: She was educated at Beijing University, ____ she went on to have her advanced study abroad. (2006陕西卷) A. after which B. from which C. from that D. after that
析:A。定语从句与先行词可连成she went on to have her advanced study abroad after she was educated at Beijing University,因此该空应填after which引导定语从句。 十、考查对介词宾语形式的
判断
几乎所有介词后均应接动名词而不接不定式作宾语,但是but, except除外。 例1: How about join us? (2006福建卷)
析: about为介词,后面应用动名词作宾语,因此join应改为joining。 例2: I’m looking forward to hear from you soon.(2006江西卷)
析: look forward to中的to为介词,因此后面应用动名词作宾语,hear应改为hearing。

②This machine is in good condition.(表语)
③Where is the key to my bike?(定语)
④She always thinks herself above others.(宾补)

单项填空

介词是一种用来表示词与词、词与句之间的关系的虚词,在句中不能单独作句子成分。介词后面一般有名词、代词或相当于名词的其他词类,短语或从句作它的宾语。介词和它的宾语构成介词词组,在句中作状语、表语、定语或宾语补足语。介词可分为时间介词、地点介词、方式介词、原因介词和其他介词。
①Nothing in the world could live without air or water.(状语)
②This machine is in good condition.(表语)
③Where is the key to my bike?(定语)
④She always thinks herself above others.(宾补)
一、介词的分类
(1)从用法分类
(2)从结构分类
【考点一】考查with/without复合结构
介词with/without+名词/代词+形容词/副词/介词短语/动词不定式/分词(分词可以是现在分词,也可以是过去分词)在句中表状态或说明背景情况,常作伴随、方式、原因、条件等状语。
With all the things she needed bought, she went home happily.
Possibly this person died without anyone knowing where the coins were hidden.
单项填空
①It was a pity that the great writer died _____ his works unfinished.
A. for B. with C. from D. of
解析:选B。考查with复合结构。works 与unfinish之间为动宾关系,所以用过去分词表示被动。如果名词或代词与后面的动词是主谓关系,则用现在分词表示主动。
【考点二】考查工具、手段、方式介词
(1)by, in, on三词都可表示旅行的方式
①不涉及交通工具的名词时用by,名词前不加冠词。如by sea, by water, by land, by rail, by air等。
②涉及交通工具的名词时用by,名词须用单数形式,前面不加冠词或任何修饰语。如by bike, by taxi, by plane, by ship/boat, by train, by spaceship等。
③当旅行方式涉及确定特指的交通工具时,用on或in,名词前加冠词、物主代词、指示代词等修饰语。如travel to New York in this plane,leave on an early train,go to school on my bike等。
注意:步行、骑马、骑骆驼均用on。如on foot,on horseback,on a horse,on the camel。
(2)with, by, in三词均意为“用”,表示行为的工具、手段或方式。
①with用于有形的工具或身体某些器官之前,其后的名词多被冠词、物主代词等修饰。 They are digging with a pick/spade.
We see with our eyes, hear with our ears, and walk with our legs.
②by, in, on, over, through等介词多用于无形的工具或方式手段之前。如by hand, in ink, on the telephone, over the radio, through the telescope等。
注意:①使用语言、原料、材料时,用in表示,如in English/Japanese;in blue ink等。 ②表达“用……方法/式”时,所用介词有:in this/that/the same way,by means of,by this/that means,with this/that method等。
【考点三】考查of+抽象名词的用法
“of+抽象名词”的用法与形容词相同,在句中可作表语、定语、补语。
of+great/much +抽象名词=very+名词的形容词形式
of+no+抽象名词=not+名词的形容词形式
It is of great value.=It is very valuable.
It is of no use.=It is useless.
The camel is of great help to the Arab.
=The camel is very helpful to the Arab.
【考点四】考查表示程度的介词by, to, beyond
by 表示“增加了……”;to表示“增加到……”;beyond表示“范围, 限度超出”。
This new model of car is so expensive that it is beyond the reach of those with average incomes.
单项填空
②Sorry, Madam. You’d better come tomorrow because it’s ______ the visiting hours.
A. during B. at C. beyond D. before
解析:选C。考查介词的用法。句意为:对不起,女士,你最好明天来,因为已经过了开放时间了。beyond(时间)晚于,迟于。
【考点五】考查介词but的固定搭配
have no choice but to do只得做某事; can’t help but do不得不做……; can’t but do不得不只能; can’t choose but do只得做某事; but for要不是……。
I have no choice but to accept his conditions.
There was no taxi that day, I couldn’t choose but stay there for
another night.
【考点六】考查to one’s+情感类名词
to 与情感类名词连用,表示“某人因某事的发生而唤起其内心的某种情感”。常见的结构有:to+one’s+delight/surprise/horror/sorrow/joy/regret=to the delight/surprise/horror/sorrow/joy/regret of sb.。这种结构表示结果,用作状语,通常置于句首,也可置于句中或句末。若要加强该结构的语气,有两种方式:①在名词前加great, deep等形容词修饰;②在整个短语前加副词greatly, much等修饰。
To his disappointment, he failed again.
【考点七】考查名词与to构成的固定搭配
key, approach, solution, answer, entrance, visit, attitude等与to构成固定搭配:the key/approach/solution/answer/entrance/visit/attitude to...。
It is said that they have adopted a new approach to teaching English.

③by+表示交通工具、交通方式名词(名词前不加冠词,不用复数),意为“通过……;由……;乘……”。

⑤by+地点或工具等具体名词。表示路线、途径,意为“通过(某物、某地);取道……”。
⑥by+动词-ing,意为“通过……;靠……;凭……”。
