　　【答案與解析】

　　1. 選A。off 用作介詞時可表示距離，此時尤其用于指距離某一大路或靠近某海面。又如：
　　Our house is about 20 meters off the main road. 我們家離大路大約有20米遠(yuǎn)。
　　The ship anchored a mile off the coast. 輪船拋錨停泊在離海岸1英里的地方。
　　2. 選B。此答句為省略句，補(bǔ)充完整為：I’ve stayed in this hotel since this Monday.
　　3. 選 B。between floors 指在兩層樓之間。類例地，以下各例也選between：
　　Don’t eat anything ______ meals if you want to lose weight.
　　4. 選D。復(fù)合介詞in case of有兩個意思，一是表示條件，意為“如果”；二是表示目的，意為“以防”。如：
　　In case of fire, call 119. 萬一失火，就打119電話。
　　Take an umbrella with you in case of rain. 帶把雨傘，以防下雨。
　　5. 選A，given 在此用作介詞，意為“考慮到”。又如：Given the low price, I decided to buy it. 考慮到價格很低，我決定把它買下。
　　6. 選C，by 意為“最遲到……之前，到……的時候已經(jīng)”。類例地，下面一題也選by：
　　The train leaves at 6:00 p.m. So I have to be at the station _______5:40 p.m. at the latest.
　　A. until                B. after
　　C. around             D. by
　　7. 選C。besides 意為“除……之外，還”。又如：
　　He has another car besides this. 除了這輛車外，他還有一輛。
　　Besides being a teacher, he was a poet. 除了是位教師外，他還是位詩人。
　　Did he do anything besides hitting you? 除了打你之外，他還有沒有別的什么舉動?
　　8. 選D。through 意為“穿過，貫穿，經(jīng)過，透過”。又如：
　　The train ran through the tunnel. 火車穿過隧道。
　　I saw you through the window. 我是透過窗子看到你的。
　　9. 選 C。在四個選項(xiàng)中，只有except that 后可接句子。
　　10. 選B。except when 和 except that 后均可接句子，但前者含“當(dāng)……的時候”的意思，而后者則沒有這個意思。11. 選B。except 與 except for的區(qū)別是：前者主要用來談?wù)撏�類的東西；后者主要用來談?wù)摬煌�類的東西，在說明情況后作細(xì)節(jié)上的修正，有時含有惋惜之意。
　　12. 選B，except 和 except for 均可表示排除，但若是表示談?wù)摬煌�類的對象，通常�?except for。另外，except 通常不用于句首。
　　13. 選A。比較：in spite of=雖然，盡管…仍；instead of=代替，取而代之；in case of=假設(shè)，萬一；in favour of=贊同，有利于。
　　14. 選C。aboard 用作介詞時意思“在(船、飛機(jī)、車)上”、“上(船、飛機(jī)、車)”。
