consist 和 comprise 的区别

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        问：The house ________ a living-room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and two bedrooms.

        A. consists    B. comprises of    C. consists in     D. consists of

        consist和comprise同义，都表示“包括”，究竟该选哪个？

   答： 该选D. consists of。应该说consist of 和comprise同义，consist后面需要接介词

 of；comprise后面不能接介词of，所以不能选A和B。C项的consists in表示隐含着的一种内在的品质或不可缺少的特性，比如：Happiness consists in helping others.（助人为乐。）显然，也不能选C项。

  注意，这类题是检查考生对动词搭配的掌握。
