2019年mpacc考试英语真题——介词和介词短语1727

{01}(2013·天津和平区二次质检)The accident was my fault, so I had to pay for the damage ________ the other car.

A.of

B.at

C.to

D.on

解析：C　句意：这次事故是我的过错，因此我不得不赔偿对方车辆的损失。名词damage后需加介词to，意为“对……的损坏”。又如：The accident did a lot of damage to the car.这一事故把汽车损坏得很严重。
本题选C。
{02} Your performance in the driving test didn’t reach the required standard -- ___, you failed.

A.in the end

B.after all

C.in other words

D.at the same time

解析：
试题分析：考查短语辨析。A in the end 意思是最后；B. after all 毕竟,到底；C. in other words 换句话说；D. at the same time 同时。句意：你开车的演示测试并没有达到我们所要求的水准——换句话说，你失败了。故C正确。
本题选C。
