迎战2012高考英语连词和介词短语练习及解析The conference has been held to discuss the effects of tourism the wildlife in the area.A.inB.onC.atD.with〖答案〗B介词的用法比较复杂, 且多为固定搭配,无多少道理可讲, 因而对介词的掌握主要靠平时多观察、多留心、多记忆。
本题中的名词effects制约着后面介词的选用。
an effect on sth.意为“对某事的影响/作用”。
“对……产生影响”用have an effect/the effects on sb./sth. 例如：The film had quite an effect on her.—Was his father very strict with him when he was at school?—Yes. He had never praised him ________ he became one of the top students in his grade. A. after B. unless C. until D. when〖答案〗Cnot never…until/till “直……才”；“不到……不”；依上下文看, 这是一位对孩子要求很严格的父亲, 由此看出他不会轻易表扬人, 直到他成为年级中拔尖的学生才表扬他。
正合题意。
