試題分析：blame用作及物動(dòng)詞時(shí),通常用于下面三個(gè)句型:
（1）. blame sb. for sth. /doing sth. 為某事責(zé)備某人/責(zé)備某人做了某事。如:
Many children are afraid of being blamed for making mistakes in speaking English. 許多孩子害怕講英語(yǔ)時(shí)犯錯(cuò)誤而受責(zé)備。
（2）. blame sth. on sb. 把某事歸咎于某人。如:
The police blamed the traffic accident on Jack's careless driving. 警察把那起交通事故歸咎于杰克的粗心駕駛。
（3）. be to blame  (for)應(yīng)(為……)承擔(dān)責(zé)任;該(為……)受責(zé)備。[注意]此處不能用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。如:
The children were not to blame for the accident. 那次事故怪不著孩子們。
He is more to blame than you. 是他更應(yīng)受責(zé)備,而不是你。
Who is to blame for starting the fire? 這場(chǎng)火災(zāi)該由誰(shuí)負(fù)責(zé)?
I am in no way to blame. 決不該責(zé)備我。
故選B。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本題難度適中。對(duì)于be to blame的用法考生要牢記，同時(shí)分清blame的另外的兩種用法，需放在一定的語(yǔ)境里去理解。
即學(xué)即練：Judging from the evidence on spot, the truck driver______for the accident.
