中考英语中,spend、cost、take、pay 这四个表示“花费”的词,堪称语法和完形填空里的“常客”,却也是很多同学容易混淆的“重灾区”。别担心,今天我们就把这“四朵金花”的用法彻底理清楚,再配上专项练习,帮大家稳稳拿下这个高频考点!
一、核心用法速查表

二、辨析要点 + 记忆口诀
1️⃣ 抓住主语,轻松区分
人做主语 → spend 或 pay
物做主语 → cost
形式主语 it → take
2️⃣ 看准搭配,避免混淆
spend 搭配 on 或 doing
pay 搭配 for
take 搭配 to do
cost 直接跟金钱
3️⃣ 记忆口诀(建议收藏⭐)
人 spend 钱/时间 on / doing,物 cost 钱直接跟,It takes 人时间 to do,人 pay 钱 for 物别搞混。

四、答案解析(做完再对答案哦)
选择题解析
B. spent; solving✅ 主语是 人(I),且后接 doing,符合 spend time (in) doing sth.
B. cost✅ 主语是 物(computer),表示“花费金钱”,用 cost
C. took✅ It takes sb. some time to do sth. 固定句型
D. pay✅ pay sb. money for sth. 固定搭配:“为某物付钱给某人”
A. spends✅ 主语是 人(She),spend money on sth. 表示“在某物上花钱”
填空题解析
visiting✅ spend time (in) doing sth.
pay✅ did 后面用动词原形
takes✅ every day 表一般现在时,主语 It 用三单
cost✅ last week 表过去,用过去式
五、备考小贴士 💡
做这类题时,三步走:1️⃣ 先看主语——是人?是物?还是 it?2️⃣ 再看搭配——后面是 on/for/to do 还是直接跟钱?3️⃣ 最后定时态——根据时间状语判断动词形式。
只要掌握了这个思路,四个“花费”再也不怕混!
