Ⅱ.单项填空
1．Jenny nearly missed the flight ________ doing too much shopping.
A．as a result of B．on top of
C．in front of D．in need of
解析：选A。

考查介词短语用法辨析。

句意：由于买了太多的东西，詹妮差点误了航班。

as a result of“由于……”；on top of“在……顶部”；in front of“在……前面”；in need of“需要”。

故选A。

2．School was cancelled today ________ the fact that there was a snowstorm.
A．instead of B．due to
C．but for D．apart from
解析：选B。

考查短语辨析。

due to由于，因为，其中to为介词，后可接名词、代词或动名词。

其余三项均不符合题意。

3．He always devotes his time to helping children with their study rather than ________ games on computers.
A．play B．to play
C．plays D．playing
解析：选D。

根据rather than连接两个平行结构原则，分析本题的结构，很显然play 与devote不是平行关系，而是与helping为平行关系，故应用playing。

句意：他总是宁愿把时间花在帮助孩子们学习上，而不是在电脑上玩游戏。

4．She got a scholarship to Cambridge, but ________ a year later.
A．dropped out B．dropped off
C．dropped down D．dropped in
解析：选A。

drop out在此表示“辍学”。

drop off“减少，下降”；drop down“倒下”；drop in“顺便拜访”。
