1．【答案】B
【解析】have trouble (in) doing sth．是固定搭配，作”做某事有困难”讲，短语中介词in可以省略。例如：Andy is one of the students who have trouble making up their mind．安迪是一个优柔寡断的学生。Northerners usually have trouble understanding the southerners’ accents．通常北方人难以听懂南方人的口音。
2．【答案】D
【解析】”be used to”作”习惯于”讲时，其中to为介词，后可跟动名词或动名词的复合结构(即”名词所有格+动名词”)。例如：He is used to bellowing at his children．他习惯对孩子大吼大叫。He is not used to being spoken to like that．他不习惯别人用那种方式和他说话。
3．【答案】B
【解析】It’s no use doing sth．是固定搭配，常用于口语中，意为”做……是没有用的”，通常要用动名词的一般式，例如：It’s no use crying over spilt milk．覆水难收。It’s no use talking to him about it．这件事情跟他谈没有用。该句型也可用动名词的复合结构，指出动作的行为主体，例如：It’s no use your pretending that you didn’t know the rules．假装不懂规则对你无用。It’s no use our learning theory without practice．我们只学理论而不付诸实践是徒劳无益的。由此可见，B项为正确答案。该句型中的形式主语it一般不能引出主语从句，不能用动名词的完成式，更不能用不定式的完成式，故A项、C项和D项都不正确。
4．【答案】C
【解析】for在这里意为”虽然，尽管”，相当于in spite of，notwithstanding，例如：For all his efforts，he didn’t succeed．虽然他尽了力，但还是没有成功。at，in和on则没有这种意义和用法。
5．【答案】A
【解析】”prefer A to B”相当于”like A berter than B”，例如：I prefer quality toquantity. 我宁要质量好而不求数量多。Nowadays children prefer Tv to reading．如今儿童喜欢看电视，而不喜欢读书。I know that you prefer tea to coffee．我知道与咖啡相比你更喜欢喝茶。
