答案解析
正确答案:C
解析:
这是一道典型的完形填空或语法选择题。虽然题目中给出了10个空缺,但提供的选项只有 A. with, B. on, C. to 三个介词,且最终答案指向 **C. to**。
根据语境和英语固定搭配,我们可以推断出这道题考察的是文中某处需要填入介词 **to** 的情况。在提供的文本中,最符合介词 `to` 用法的空缺是 **第6空** 或 **第9空**(取决于具体考察点,但通常这类三选一题目会对应文中一个特定的关键搭配)。
让我们分析文中可能用到这三个介词的地方:
1. **第6空**: "We have tied ourselves ____6____ the house..."
* 固定搭配:**tie oneself to something** (把自己绑在某物上)。
* 解析:这里表示抗议者把自己绑在房子上,以防止被警察带走。应填 **to**。
2. **第9空**: "We don't believe ____9____ capitalism or consumerism..."
* 固定搭配:**believe in something** (信仰/信奉某事物)。注意,这里通常用 **in**,而不是 to/on/with。如果选项里没有 in,这可能不是考察点,或者题目有误。但在某些语境下,如果表达“相信...的存在”可能用 believe,但接宾语通常不加介词或加 in。*修正:仔细看原文 "believe ____ capitalism",标准搭配是 believe in。如果选项只有 with/on/to,这里可能不是考点,或者题目设计有特殊性。*
3. **其他可能的考点**:
* 第1空: road **that/which** the local council... (关系代词,非介词)
* 第2空: bored of **living** (动名词,非介词)
* 第3空: should not be **built** (被动语态,非介词)
* 第4空: add to pollution and **destroy/damage** (动词,非介词)
* 第5空: succeed **in** the end (固定搭配 in the end,选项无 in)
* 第7空: empty **for** years (时间段用 for,选项无 for)
* 第8空: do any **harm** to anyone (do harm to,这里缺名词 harm,后面已有 to)
* 第10空: **Whatever** happens (连词,非介词)
**结论推导:**
在给出的选项 A. with, B. on, C. to 中,唯一能在文中找到完美对应且符合语法逻辑的空缺是 **第6空**。
* **原文片段**:"We have tied ourselves **to** the house..."
* **语法解析**:动词 `tie` (捆绑) 常与介词 `to` 连用,构成 `tie A to B` 结构,意为“把A绑在B上”。在此处,反身代词 `ourselves` 作宾语,`the house` 作介词宾语,表示他们将自己绑在房子上进行抗议。
因此,针对这道题的解析如下:
### 解析
**正确答案:C. to**
**考查点:** 介词固定搭配 / 动词短语
**详细分析:**
本题主要考察文中第6空的介词用法。
* **语境理解**:在 "A Squatter" 部分,Nancy Barrett 提到她们为了阻止警察将她们驱逐,采取了极端措施:“We have tied ourselves ____6____ the house...”(我们把自己______房子……)。
* **固定搭配**:英语中表达“把……绑在……上”使用动词短语 **tie ... to ...**。
* `tie` 是动词,意为“系、绑、捆”。
* `to` 是介词,引出捆绑的对象。
* **选项排除**:
* A. with:`tie with` 通常不用于表示绑在某物上,`with` 多表示伴随或使用工具。
* B. on:`tie on` 虽偶有使用,但 `tie oneself to something` 是更标准、更常见的表达固定位置的搭配。
* C. to:符合 `tie A to B` 的标准结构。
**补充说明:**
虽然文中还有其他空缺,但根据提供的三个选项(with, on, to),只有第6空填入 **to** 构成 `tied ourselves to the house` 是完全符合语法和语境的经典搭配。其他空缺如第5空通常填 `in` (in the end),第7空通常填 `for` (for years),第9空通常填 `in` (believe in),均不在本题选项范围内。
