Question

Evidence has been found through years of study that children’s early sleeping problems are _______ to continue when they grow up.

A．likely

B．possible

C．probable

D．narrowly

Answer 1

A

試題分析：句意：經(jīng)過多年的研究證據(jù)表明孩子們早期的睡眠問題很有可能當(dāng)他們長大后仍會繼續(xù)存在。sb/sth be likely to do sth某人或物很可能做某事，固定結(jié)構(gòu)，故選A.
點(diǎn)評：possible表示客觀上潛在的可能性，也許實(shí)際發(fā)生的可能性并不大。probable表示有幾分根據(jù)的推測，比possible表示的可能性大。likely強(qiáng)調(diào)表面上看來有可能。作為表語時(shí)只有l(wèi)ikely可以以人作為主語，并且有be likely to do sth 的固定句型，其余兩個(gè)一般構(gòu)成it is possible/probable that +從句的句型。
