Question

Idioms often use a number of words to represent a single object, person or concept, ______, and it is easy to misunderstand what you read or hear spoken.

A. among other things B. on the contrary

C. by all means      D. above anything else

Answer

A

【解析】

试题分析：考查介词短语。among other things除了别的东西，此外；on the contrary恰恰相反；by all means当然；above anything else高于一切；句意：习语常常用一些词某一物体、人物或概念以及其他的一些事物。因此你就很容易误解所读到的或听到的内容。根据句意可知A正确。(注：这是译林牛津模块9Unit4 Reading里的句子节选。原文为：Idioms often use a number of words to represent a single object, person or concept, ______, and unless you recognize an idiom when it is being used, it is easy to misunderstand what you read or hear spoken. 习语常常用一些词某一物体、人物或概念以及其他的一些事物。除非你能识别习语运用，否则你很容易误解所读到的或听到的内容。)
