题目解答
答案
本题考察“there is no point in doing sth.”的固定用法。句中“point”需与“in”搭配,后接动名词“arguing”。A项“for arguing”、B项“to argue”、D项“of arguing”均不符合习惯用法。正确答案为C项“in arguing”,构成“there is no point in arguing with her”,表示“与她争论没有意义”。
答案:C. in arguing
解析
本题考查固定短语的用法,核心是掌握"there is no point in doing sth."这一结构。解题关键在于明确"point"后必须搭配介词"in",并接动名词形式。其他选项中的介词或动词形式均不符合习惯用法。
关键知识点:
短语"there is no point in doing sth."表示“做某事没有意义”,其中"in"是介词,后接动名词(动词的-ing形式)。
选项分析:
- A. for arguing:介词"for"通常用于"there is no use in/for"的结构,与本题短语不匹配。
- B. to argue:不定式(to do)不能直接跟在"point"后,需用动名词形式。
- C. in arguing:符合固定搭配"there is no point in + 动名词",正确。
- D. of arguing:介词"of"不符合短语结构,错误。
