A) between B) among C) from D) along
解析：本题考查介词的固定搭配用法。between一般用于两者之间，常与and连用。避错指导：among要
用于三者或以上，其含义是“在…之中”，不与and连用。along则意为“沿着”，指一条线平行，和静态动词连用，表示在某一段空间上。from多与to 连用。故选A正确。

解析：本题考查重点形似词组，句子中包含有other than表示 “做…而不做…”或“是…而不是…”的意义，
故选B。避错指导：A)表示宁愿…；D) 表示比…更多，均不符合句意． 4) They shut _____ their town house and moved to the country for the summer. (00,12)
A) down B) off C) in D) up 解析：测试点为词组的用法。D）“shut up”表示“关闭（房门等）”。避错指导：A）“shut down”表示“停
止经营；关闭（商店或工厂等）”，不合题意；B）“shut off”意为“关掉（电源、水龙头等）；切断（供应）”，不符合题意；C）“shut in”意指“把......关进去”，不符合题意。 因此只有D项正确。 5) Jame is unhappy because everyone went to the dance ____ her. (01,06)

三、定语从句和同位语从句
（25题，比例11.4%）
【语法点拨】Ⅰ
定语从句与同位语从句在关系词的使用方面容易产生错误或疑问。要避免错误的发生并消除疑虑，请关注定语从句与同位语从句的区别：定语从句的特点是，关系词必须在从句中充当一个句子成份。而同位语从句则不然，由于同位语从句中不缺少任何句子成分，从而关系词不会在从句中充当任何句子成份，只起到连接作用。定语从句是对先行词的修饰，而同位语从句则不然，同位语从句是对先行词的进一步说明
