选项 A、under
B、above
C、beyond
D、within
答案 C
解析 此题属于词语搭配题。beyond意为“(指空间)在…那一边”，在借喻中有“超出”之意，偏重于客观事物非本身能力所能达到或完成，例如：The failure arose from circumstances beyond our control，其他类似的说法有：beyond one’s power/endurance/comprehension．故选项C) be yond正确。选项A) under(control)意为“情况正常，处于控制之下”，例如：bring inflation under  control；选项B) above强调本身凌驾于一般标准之上，例如：Do you consider yourself above criticism/reproach? 难道你认为谁都不能批评你吗/你是无可指责的吗? 选项D) within通常不与control连用。
