问题     Of all things in the world, I most dislike filling up forms; in fact, I have a 【C1】_____horror of it. Applying for a driving license, 【C2】_____for an evening course, booking a holiday abroad — everything nowadays seems to involve 【C3】_____information about one’s personal life and habits that has little or nothing to do with the matter 【C4】______hand. When applying for a job, it may be 【C5】______ some obscure interest to a 【C6】_____employer to learn that I collect stamps or had measles as a child, but why 【C7】_____he conceivably want to know that my father was a tobacconist who died in 1988?
    The authorities who 【C8】_____one to fill up forms, frequently demand answers to questions that one would hesitate to put 【C9】_____one’s intimate friends. The worst of it is that, when 【C10】______with such questions, my mind goes bland. Have I ever suffered from a serious illness? My mother always 【C11】_____me I was "delicate". Do I suffer from any personal defects? Well, I wear 【C12】_____lenses and my upper teeth and not my own, but perhaps the word "defects" 【C13】______to my character. Am I supposed to 【C14】______that I like gambling, and find it difficult to get up in the morning? 【C15】______of them are true.
    Of all, I think job applications are the 【C16】______. "Education" — previous experience — post held — give 【C17】______. Terrified by the awful warning about give false 【C18】______which appears at the bottom of the forms, I struggle to remember what exams I passed and how long I worked for what firms. 【C19】______hard I try, there always seems to be a year or two for which I cannot satisfactorily account and which I am certain, if left 【C20】______, will give the impression that I was in prison or engaged in some occupation too dubious to mention.
【C4】

选项 A、by
B、in
C、at
D、to

答案C

解析 介词的搭配。by hand是“用手,通过手(来……)”的意思,表方式,用在这里意思不对:另外3个虽然都有“在手头、在手边”的意思,但侧重不同:in hand强调“在掌握中”,at hand强调“在手边,在附近,即将到来”,to hand则强调“收到,占有”。根据本文,这里并没有显示是在掌握中的事情,而是说在手头上的待处理的事情,故可以排除B和D。
