1、四川省雅安市第三中学高三英语下学期期末试题含解析一、 选择题1. Temporary failure is not to be feared. We must bear it in mind that the pains-taking effort we have will _ in the long run.A. pay off B. take offC. break off D. kick off参考答案：A【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：暂时的失败不可怕。我们必须记住，从长远来看，我们所付出的努力是会得到回报的。A. pay off 付清，取得好的结果；B. take off 脱掉；C.

2、 break off 中断；D. kick off 踢开。根据句意可知，此处需要表达付出会得到回报的，故选A。【点睛】动词短语辨析是单项选择题常考的内容，要求考生在平时记忆短语时不仅要只记忆该词，还要多总结归纳同类短语的准确用法，做这类题一方面要有一定量的词汇积累，另一方面需要正确理解题意，二者结合才能选出正确选项。本题给出了四个off与动词搭配的词组，虽然都是与同一介词搭配，但意义却完全不同，若没有平时的积累，得分的几率就会大打折扣。32.
