()1. (盐城盐都区期中)Mary usually buys things shops, but her sister likes doing shopping the internet.

A.for; on
B.from; on
C.from; in
D.in; in

1. B 解析·第一个设空处后是shops,此时buy既可以和from搭配使用,构成buy ... from ...,意为"从……购买……",介词from指向商品的源头,也可以和in搭配使用,构成buy ... in ...,意为"在……购买……",介词in强调购买商品的地点,先排除选项A;on the internet是固定搭配,意为"在互联网上"。故选B。

()2. —Dad, what your life like ? —I rode a bike to the factory.
