坚持每天的SAT文法练习（一）

　　SAT考试文法，小伙伴们有没有每天坚持每天练习呢。下面和小编一起来做做吧。

　　In recent years, several urban US airports have converted some of the unused land past their runways to provide habitats for honeybees. While airports may seem unlikely locations for beekeeping, many of them, in fact, have the potential to offer ideal conditions for an apiary (a group of beehives). The Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, for instance, hosts an apiary on a 400-square-foot area of land just north of one of its runways. This area is rich in Dutch clover, a preferred food source for honeybees. The honeybees may thrive there in part because they aren’t exposed to the agricultural pesticides suspected of contributing to Colony Collapse Disorder. Though unorthodox, airport-based honeybee habitats can help to ensure that local regions have healthy populations of honeybees.

　　A.NO CHANGE

　　B.passed their

　　C.past there

　　D.passed there

　　答案：A

　　解析：

　　Choice A is the best answer because it follows the conventions of standard English usage. "Past" is used here as a preposition to indicate the location of the honeybee habitats. "Their" is used as a possessive determiner to indicate that the runways are those of the airports.

　　原文中的 past their 本身就是符合语法的表达，不需要任何修改。past在此做介词。
