Answer

B

【解析】句意：——在学校的前部的有一座教学楼吗？——是的，教室前面有一些高大的树。in front of 在...（范围外）的前面 ；in the front of 在...（范围内）的前面。教学楼在学校的内部，树在教室的外面，故答案为B。

点睛：in the front of指在某个物体本身或范围之内的前部，意为“在……前部”，如：

There is a big desk in the front of the classroom. 教室的前面有一张大书桌。

The girl is standing in the front of the bus. 这个女孩站在公共汽车前部。（在车内）

in front of通常指物体或人位于另外的物体的外部的前面。如：

There are some trees in front of the house. 房子的前面有一些树。（树在房子外的前面）

The girl is standing in front of the bus. 这个女孩站在公共汽车前面。（在车外）
