1. the(degree of)usefulness of something , especially in comparison with other things ;(见 ：朗文词典 LONGMAN DICTIONARY OF CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH 之 p.1213 )所以有的学生便误选了D. usefulness 。他们不了解 ，这句话中的of great value 既是用在一定的句型 ，如：find something of great value in doing something else 也是一种惯用法 ，因此C选项是最佳选项 ，而D选项则不是 。

第23题Cleaning women in big cities usually get _____ by the hour .

　 A. pay　 B. paying　 C. paid　 D. to pay

这个简单句也可以延长成为一个有3个句子的小语篇 ：

　 　Cleaning women in big cities usually get 　paid　 　by the hour .　 In other words , how much they are paid each day or each month or each year depends on how many hours they work every day . That is ,(或者在分号 “ ；”之后加上i.e.)how much (money)they are paid is decided by how much (work)they do each hour . 显然,get paid 和be paid 是一种惯用法 ；如果死扣语法 ，那么动词pay的动名词(B.选项)paying 及其“转换生成”的名词 ( A.选项)pay似乎都是对的了 。

　 虽然， 在朗文词典中的pay可以作为名词 ，其词义是money received for work ,而且， 按照语法规则动名词paying可以担任动词get的宾语 ； 但是在实际交际环境中 ，语言的运用并不完全取决于词典和语法书的规定 ，惯用法是使用能力的重要一环 ，只能在大量使用语篇的实践中获取。

第25题European football is played in 80 countries , ______ it the most popular sport in the world .

　 A. making　 B. makes　 C. made　 D. to make

这个单句可以以不同方式延伸成为有两三句话的小语篇：

　 European football is played in 80 countries , 　making 　it the most popular sport in the world . The fact is that European football is played in 80 countries . Because of this(fact)it is the most popular sport in the world . The fact that European football is played in 80 countries makes this (kind of)sport the most popular in the world . 还可以将原句变成两个简单句: European football is played in 80 countries . It makes it the most popular sport in the world . 再合并成为复合句 ：European football is played in 80 countries , 　which makes　 　it the most popular sport in the world ; i.e. European football is played in 80 countries , 　making　 　it the most popular sport in the world .

　通过这样一番“语篇化”的语义融化过程 ，不但排除了C和D两个错误选项 ，而且还说明了 ，为什么B选项也不对 。
