题目内容
How much would you______for repairing my bike?
A．pay B．take C．cost D．charge
D
【解析】
试题分析：1.pay作及物动词，后面可直接跟宾语，但一般是表示钱，账单或人的词。如果要表示为某事或某物付钱时，需要用介词for或是to的不定式来引导。
I will pay for that book.
He paid us to watch his house.
在美国，pay可作形容词，表示“付费的”或是“收费的”，例如pay hospital（收费的医院）和pay patient（付费的病人）；
pay后可接介词by，表示“由……支付”。
Their nursing costs are paid by the Government.
他们的护理费用由政府来支付。
pay bills表示“付帐”，pay homage to a person表示“向某人表示敬意”，pay tribute to a person表示“赞扬某人”。
pay的基本意思是“付给”“付出”,指某人买东西或做某事所花费的金钱。引申可表示为“给予”。
pay既可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作不及物动词时,多作“合算,值得”解; 用作及物动词时,其搭配范围比较窄,主语只能是人,宾语常是人、钱或账单,而不能是其他物品,如果其客体是物品,则须用for引导。可用于被动结构。
pay可接双宾语,其间接宾语可转化为介词to的宾语。也可接由动词不定式或副词充当补足语的复合宾语。
2.It takes +时间/钱(for sb) to do，而这里不是这种结构，故排除B。
3.cost主要用作及物动词。作“花费”“付出代价”解时,不用于被动结构,主语通常是物或事物。接名词或代词作宾语时,宾语为金钱、时间、精力等(在当代英语中,这一范围正不断扩大)。接双宾语时,直接宾语为金钱、时间、精力等,间接宾语则总是人。作“计算费用”“估算”解时主语一定是人,且可用于被动结构。
cost也可用作不及物动词,意为“需要花费”“需要付出代价”,这时其后一般有副词性状语。
3.charge用作及物动词时,接名词或代词作宾语。作“控告”解时,可以接that引导的从句。作“收费”解时，可以接双宾语，可用于被动结构；表示“价格贵”或“收费贵”时,不能说charge expensively,而用too much或heavily等修饰。
charge用作不及物动词时,常接for表示“收…的费”,接down表示“冲锋”。故选D。
考点：考查动词辨析。
点评：本题难度适中。动词辨析是近几年高考的热点，需要考生平时掌握它们的用法及区别。
即学即练：How much do they ______ for advertising?
A.pay B.take C.cost D.charge
解析：D。句意：他们索取多少广告费?
If you ask Americans whether or not they think their former president George W. Bush is smart, most of them will probably tell you they don’t think so. However, Bush’s IQ score is estimated to be above 120, which puts him in the top ten percent of the population.
It doesn’t seem to make sense. How come someone with such an IQ score is not considered smart? Researchers say: IQ does not tell the whole story. Some people have high IQ scores, but still they can be poor thinkers and decision-makers.
Keith Stanovich, a Canadian professor of human development and applied psychology, has been looking into the “clever fools” phenomenon for 15 years. He says IQ tests are very good at measuring certain mental faculties(能力), including logic, learning ability, working-memory capacity (how much information you can hold in mind), etc. Those faculties play a part in one’s academic success, but rational thinking is more important for us to make good judgments in real-life situations.
IQ tests fail to work when it comes to rational thinking. That’s because they are unable to assess things such as a person’s ability to weigh up information, or whether an individual can set aside the cognitive biases(认知偏差)that may be misleading.
“A high IQ is like height in a basketball player,” says David Perkins, who studies thinking and reasoning skills at Harvard University. “It is very important, all other things being equal. But all other things aren’t equal. It takes a lot more to be a good basketball player than being tall, and it takes a lot more to be a good thinker than having a high IQ.”
