2008年6月大学四级完型题。

首先可以确认83选项应该是D，词组for it's own sake是固定用法，表示为了...的缘故。

for it's own sake: something is done for its own sake, it is done for th value of the experience itself, not for any advantage it will bring

art for art's sake

句中的its指的是knowledge,为了知识而学知识。

再看82选项，四个选项都是介词，大体上判断下是否都可以跟表示时间。

A) Amid

a. during

We lost our companions amid the storm and the darkness.在暴风雨和黑暗中,我们失去了伙伴。

b. in or into the middle of : surrounded by : among为...环绕

The house stood amid maple trees.那房子坐落在枫树林中。

B) After: when a particular event or time has happened, or when someone has doen something

After the war many soldiers stayed in France.

C) Over: during

Will you be home over the summer vacation?

D) Upon若与时间相关，有以下几种用法：

a. once upon a time: a long time ago

b. if a time or event is upon you, it is about to happen

Winter is almost upon us.

由以上可以得出，句中大意是在“初中课程后或者之间”进行选择，可以排除Upon。

[解释]

after a secondary school course可以理解为After a student has done secondary school course, he should be interested enough in a subject to enjoy gaining knowledge for its own sake. 完成了初中课程后，学生应该学会享受知识的本身，而不是其他。

相较于amid/over/during a secondary school course在学习初中课程中，学生应该学会...

完成了初中课程后(when someone has doen something),学生学到了什么更合适。

高中英语问题：Parents will ______ their lives for childre

答：C

译：父母会为孩子牺牲自己的生命。

析：sacrifice one's life for **.为。。。牺牲自己的生命。

此题最大的干扰项应该是D和A。promote促进，不合句意，很容易排除B.

devote one's time/life to ..., dedicate A to B.

A和D两项可以从固定搭配加以排除。

不过，如果能够理解，则记得更牢。楼主可能将这两个词对应汉语的“献出”，从而用汉语思维：为孩子献出自己的生命。感觉AD难以排除。

记住， devote 一词是类似于give的一个双宾动词。give **. sth.--give sth. to **. 相信楼主这个介词用to不用for是很清楚的。好了，give 是"给“， devote 就是”献给“。

devote one's time/life to ...就是将某人的时间、生命奉献给了。。。

而dedicate 是devote的同义词，更高级的词汇：

~ oneself/sth to sth give or devote (oneself, time, effort, etc) to(a noble

cause or purpose) 将（自己、 时间、 精力等）奉献给（崇高的事业或目的）

He built up the business at the ______ of his health. . expense B. convenience C. rate D. sacrifice

A at the expense of···以什么的代价···B 固定搭配 at one's convenience在某人方便的时候

C at the rate of···以···的速度 D sacrifice的固定搭配make a sacrifice of sth to **供奉，sacrifice sth(to **/sth)牺牲某事物。若选D，则应改为 He sacrificed his health to build up the business.
