A. NO CHANGE

B. dependent on

C. dependent with

D. dependent for

解析：通过dependent of, dependent on等选项看出是固定搭配的考点，dependent on为固定搭配，所以排除A/C/D三个选项，所以选B。

真题检测2

B. with results being

C. and resulting to

D. with results in

解析：通过resulting in, resulting to等选项看出是固定搭配的考点，resulting 应该与blocking并列，作伴随状语，同时result in为固定搭配，所以排除B/C/D三个选项，所以选A。

真题检测3

(19-08NA Q15) The Rio de la Plata region is known as a rich musical heritage that includes such traditional dance music as tango and milonga, which feature the violin, double bass, and badoneon, an instrument similar to the accordion.

B. with

C. for

D. in

解析：通过be known as等选项看出是固定搭配的考点，各选项的意思为：be known as 作为...而闻名，be known for = be famous for以...闻名，with与in为错误搭配。be known as在本句中句意不符，而句意为这个地方以一种遗产出名，这个遗产包含了tango等，所以选C。
