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。本文直接以题目解析为线索进行列举和分析。
1. The conference has been held to discuss the effects of tourism　　　the wildlife in the area.

    A.in        B.on          C.at 　　    D.with

解析：答案B；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”。

2. — What do you want ______ those old boxes?

   — To put things in when I move to the new flat.

    A. by         B. for         C. of         D. with

解析：答案D；回复中所提到的情景 to put things in when I move to the new flat. 说明了箱子的用途。with的意思是 “拿什么用”， 后接工具。如：cut with a knife用刀切。答案为D。 

3. Luckily, the bullet narrowly missed the captain______an inch.

    A.  by       B.  at           C.  to          D.  from

解析：答案A；介词by可以和表示数量的词构成短语，表示尺寸、距离或者幅度等。译文：幸运的是，子弹在距离船长一英尺的地方与他擦肩而过，没有射中他。答案为A。再如：I narrowly passed the exam by two points. （我刚好通过了考试，就多出2分）

4. Marie Curie took little notice 　　　 the honours that were given to her in her later year.

    A. of          B. on　　    C. about        D. from

解析：答案A；"take notice of" 是 “注意，在意”。译文：居里夫人几乎不关心她晚年所得到的荣誉。

5. —You are so lucky.

  —What do you mean　　　 that?

    A. for　　      B. in       C. of　　　  D. by

解析：答案D；固定用法(句子)what do you mean 后常跟 by that/by doing that/by saying so 译：你那样/那样做(说)是什么意思?

6. This shop will be closed for repairs ____ further notice.

     A. with           B. until           C. for             D. at

解析：答案B；句意：在另行通知前，这家店将停止整顿。until further notice 表示“在另行通知前”，这里until做介词用。

7. Graduation is a good time to thank those who have helped you ______ the tough years.

    A. through      B. up     C. with     D. from

解析：答案A；句意：毕业的时候是感谢那些曾经帮助过你的最好时机。Through是高考英语中常考的介词，表示“时空的经历、历程”。

8. When asked about their opinions about the schoolmaster, many teachers would prefer to see him step aside ________ younger men.

    A. in terms of   B. in need of    C. in favor of   D. in praise of

9. I’m sorry I didn’t phone you, but I've been very busy_____ the past couple of weeks.

    A. beyond       B. with       C. among       D. over

解析：答案D；通过前半句"I've been very busy" 现在完成时，可知搭配用的时间状语为“在过去的几周里”，"over the past couple of weeks=in the past couple of weeks"，但over更强调一种时间的跨度。句意为：很抱歉没给你打电话，可是这几个星期我一直很忙。

10. Sometimes proper answers are not far to seek______ food safety problem.

    A. in         B. to           C. on             D. after

解析：答案B；句意为：有时不容易找到解决食品安全问题的适宜的办法。本题考查名词后的介词的固定搭配。此句中主语为answers，意为“解决办法”，作此意时后跟介词 to 或 towards ，故选B项。
