答案解析
正确答案:C
解析:
这是一道考查**时间介词**用法的题目。
**解析如下:**
1. **语境分析**:
句子 "Chinese people first came to Britain ____1____ 1885." 的意思是“中国人首次来到英国是在1885年。” 空格处需要填入一个介词来连接年份 "1885"。
2. **语法规则**:
在英语中,表示时间的介词 `in`, `on`, `at` 有明确的区别:
* **at**:用于具体的时刻(几点几分),例如:*at 7:00*, *at noon*。
* **on**:用于具体的某一天或特定的日期,例如:*on Monday*, *on July 4th*, *on my birthday*。
* **in**:用于较长的时间段,如**年份**、月份、季节、世纪等,例如:*in 1885*, *in May*, *in summer*, *in the 20th century*。
3. **选项排查**:
* A. **on**:通常接具体日期或星期,不能直接接年份。
* B. **at**:通常接具体钟点,不能接年份。
* C. **in**:专门用于接年份、月份、季节等。因为 "1885" 是一个年份,所以必须使用 `in`。
**结论:**
根据上述规则,年份前应用介词 `in`,故正确答案为 **C**。
