fficeffice" />这里是不是应为 be near to 接近的意思，不是很确定

The Arctic fox is found throughout the ffice:smarttags" />Arctic, usually in tundra or mountains------the sea.

(A) by which near

(B) near of

(C) because near

(D) near

这个near是介词，靠近的意思。

第一题我也是认为应该是be near to,当介词用,但第二题为啥不用near to呢?

第二题是否可还原为mountain (which is) near the sea呢,那这样的near应该也是介词呀,若是这样的话near 跟near to该在怎样的不同时机下使用呢?

第二题的A选项, 有near by的词组吗,字典查不到这样的用法,只有nearby

疑问很多,因为很怕真的考出来会后悔考前不搞清楚,谢谢大家fficeffice" />

i think the wrong thing is "much". there are a couple of ways to correct it.

1.     to be near to absolute zero     is    correct.

2.     we can say " to be much nearer (to) absolute zero", which is correct, too

3.         much ----> very    , to be very near to absolute zero    

I     prefer choosing     #2 [to be much nearer (to) absolute zero], it sounds like to be said by a scientist.

fficeffice" />The adjective NEAR can be used like a preposition, with or without    TO.     TO is not normally used when we talking about physical closeness.

We live NEAR the station.

When we are not talking about physical closeness, NEAR TO is often preferred.

I came very near to hitting him.        

NEARER and NEAREST are generally used with TO, though TO can be dropped in an informal style.    

Come and sit nearer (to) me.

Who's the girl sitting nearest (to) the door?
