应特别注意总结、归纳、识记搭配能力较强的一些动词如come, bring, take, care, make, go, get, put, break等与介词搭配构成的短语。
【考例】 Anyway, we're here now, so let's_______some serious work.（2014江西卷）
A. come up with
B. get down to
C. do away with
D. live up to
【答案】 B
【解析】 本题考查的是动词短语辨析。come up with意为“想出，提出”；get down to意为“开始认真做，着手做”；do away with意为“废除，消灭”；live up to意为“符合，不辜负”。句意为：不管怎么样，我们已经在这里了，让我们开始认真工作吧！B项get down to符合语境。
1. —You went late_______the stadium yesterday evening, didn't you?
—Yes, my wife was a little late_______supper.
A. to; with
B. for; with
C. for; for
D. at; for
【陷阱】 容易误选B或D。
【分析】 答案应选A。第一空填to比较好理解，因为此处的late为副词，用以修饰went to the stadium中的动词went；而第二句的with 则是许多同学不容易想到的，相反，更多地可能是想到for，现将两者区别如下：be late for表示做某事迟到，而be late with表示做某事做晚了。比较：
We were late for dinner. 我们吃饭迟到了。
We were late with dinner (=in having dinner). 我们吃饭吃得迟。
句中 my wife was a little late with supper意为“我妻子准备晚饭稍迟了一点”。
2. We were all worried over_______you were sick.
A. that
B. which
C. what
D. the fact that
【陷阱】 容易误选A或B。
【分析】 答案应选D。按英语习惯，除except, but 等极个别介词外，英语介词后通常不能直接跟that从句作宾语。遇此情况，通常是在that从句前加上the fact，此时the fact用作介词宾语，而其后that从句则用作the fact的同位语。
3. Sometimes our opinions differ_______what we choose to observe and how we deal with what we've observed.
A. which
B. since
C. because
D. because of
【陷阱】 容易误选C。因为按英语语法习惯，because是连词，其后接句子；而because of是复合介词，其后接名词、代词或动名词等。
【分析】 答案应选D。because作为从属连词，主要用于引导原因状语从句，既然是引导一个从句，也就是说它的后面不能再连用“引导词”。如：
He was angry because we were late. 他很生气因为我们迟到了。
They can't have gone out because the light is on. 他们不可能出去了，因为灯还亮着。
Bread is cheap in this supermarket because they bake it themselves. 这家超市的面包是自制的，所以便宜。
假若一个从句已经有了自己的“引导词”，那么它前面就不宜再用because 这个连词了。如：
She got angry because of what you said. 她生气是因为你说的话。
句中的 what 相当于 the thing that，也就是说 what you said 相当于 the thing that you said。其中the thing用作because of的宾语，而that you said为修饰the thing的定语从句。
He lost his job because of how he treated his boss. 他因为对老板的态度（不好）而丢了工作。
句中的how相当于the way in which，也就是说how he treated his boss相当于the way in which he treated his boss。其中the way用作because of的宾语，而in which he treated his boss 为修饰the way的定语从句。
4. —How long have you been an actor?
—_______1995, when I graduated from college.
A. After
B. In
C. From
D. Since
【陷阱】 几个干扰项均有可能误选。
【分析】 最佳答案为D。若仅从答句来看，四个答案都说得过去。但若结合问句的语境和时态，答案应选D，因为其余三个选项填入空格均不能回答问句所提出的问题。比较：
—When did you became an actor?
—_______1995, when I graduated from college.
A. After
B. In
C. From
D. Since
此题选B，因为问句问的是when（何时），所以用In 1995 来回答便顺理成章。
5. Don't be angry_______me for not having written to you. I was really too busy.
A. about
B. with
C. to
D. for
【陷阱】 容易误选C。根据汉语的“对某人生气”，将其中的“对”直译为to。
【分析】 最佳答案为B。按英语习惯，要表示对某人生气，通常用be angry with /at sb.，要表示对某事生气，通常用be angry at /about sth.。比较以下表达，其中的“对”也不用to来翻译：
你对这些安排感到满意吗?
误：Did you feel satisfied to the arrangements?
正：Did you feel satisfied with the arrangements?
老师应该对他的学生严格要求。
误：Teachers should be strict to their students.
正：Teachers should be strict with their students.
6. In those days, we had no phones, so we have to keep in touch_______writing often.
A. with
B. of
C. on
D. by
【陷阱】 容易误选A。根据keep in touch with（与……保持联系）这一常用搭配推出。
【分析】 正确答案是D。by在这里表示方式，by writing意为“通过写信”，全句意为：那时候我们没有手机，所以只能通过经常写信保持联系。
