单选题 ______ all the novels Mr. Gordon Samuelson wrote, The Fishing Village, which was released two months ago, is without doubt the best I've ever read.
  • (A) On
  • (B) Of
  • (C) Between
  • (D) Through


【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】理由
本句测试下列固定用法:
Of the three/the four/the five/all+复数名词+最高级修饰语
在这3个/4个/5个/全部的……之中,……是最……的
[例] Of the three girls, Mary is the most beautiful.
(在这3个女孩中,玛丽是最漂亮的。)
Of all the students I've taught, John is without doubt the most diligent.
(我所有教过的学生中,约翰无疑是最用功的一个。)
原句句尾有最高级修饰语the best(=the best novel),得知空格内应置Of,形成固定用法,故(B)应为正选。
但of也可用在比较两者中,此时与比较级连用:
[例] Of the two students, John is the better
(在这两个学生中,约翰比较好。)
Of the two girls,Mary is the more beautiful.
(在这两个女孩中,玛丽是比较漂亮的。)
