At the beginning ofthe term，my mother bought me a new bag．

Answer 1

分析 At the beginning of．

解答 答案：At the beginning of．表示在…開始的時候用短語at the beginning of，故答案是At the beginning of．

點評 at the beginning 與in the beginning 在用法上由一些區(qū)別．in the beginning 通常單獨用作時間狀語或定語，而較少和of短語連用，意為"起初；在開始的時候"，暗含著后來又變化的意思．如：In the beginning we thought we'd better get it all arranged．在開始的時候，我們以為不會把它全安排好．You will find it rather difficult in the beginning．你會發(fā)現(xiàn)它在開始的時候是相當難的．In the beginning I felt very lonesome in London．起初，我在倫敦覺得非常孤獨．at the beginning 常常跟of短語連用，如果后面沒有跟of短語，則大都可以從上下文看出來．如：At the beginning of this century a great many Europeans went to live in the USA．本世紀初許多歐洲人去美國居住.2．Start at the beginning and read until you get to the bottom of Page Thirteen．從第13頁開頭開始讀，一直讀到第13頁末尾．應當注意，at the beginning 在單獨使用時，有時與in the beginning 同義．如：He disliked it at/in the beginning．At the beginning he wasn't interested in it．
