随着高考命题由知识型向能力型的转化，对英语常用动词搭配（包括短语动词）的考查方式也日趋灵活多样。因此复习备考时针对动词搭配这一考点要活跃思维，提高解题能力。通过对近年来高考试题的研究，可以发现高考对此考点的命题主要体现在以下几个方面：
1．多在具体的语境中进行考查短语动词在常见句型结构中的灵活运用以及考查常用短语动词之间意义的辨析，常考的动词有call，get，give，look，make，put，turn等。
（1）NMET2000 The manager discussed the plan that they would like to see ______ the next year．
A．carry out
B．carrying out
C．carried out
D．to carry out
该题考查了动词搭配“carry out the plan”在“see＋宾语＋过去分词”结构中的变异运用，将“the plan”充当定语从句的先行词，然后考查考生能否识别出来是上述结构的灵活变异，故此应选C。又如：
NMET2000（春）—It's a good idea．But who's going to ______the plan？
—I think Tom and Greg will．（B）
A．set aside
B．carry out
C．take in
D．get through
（2）NMET’98Nobody noticed the thief slip into the house because the lights happened to______．
A．be put up
B．give in

D．go out
该题中出现了四个常用动词搭配，反映了命题者想考查考生对短语动词或动词搭配的综合掌握能力，命题设计精致巧妙，据题意分析可知“碰巧灯灭了”而“go out”又能表示“（a fire or light） to stop burning or shining熄灭”之意，故该题应选D。
（3）NMET’97She ______his number in the phone book to make sure that she had got it right．
A．looked up
