C解析prepare为及物动词，意为“准备”，prepare sth．意为“准备某事”。另外，prepare还可用作不及物动词，prepare for sth．意为“为……作准备”；如：When I got home, mother was preparing supper．当我到家时，母亲正在做晚饭。People are busy preparing for the new year．人们正在忙着为新年作准备。短语be prepared for 意为“为……作好准备”，意思同be ready for，强调一种状态。如：We are well prepared for the exam now．现在我们已为考试作好了充分的准备。
