Question

Mr. White preferred ______at home with his children rather than ____ out for Christmas.

A．to stay; to go	B．stay; go
C．to stay; go	D．stay; to go

Answer 1

C

試題分析：句意：懷特先生寧愿和孩子們呆在家里也不愿出去過(guò)圣誕節(jié)。這里是preferto do rather than do寧愿做前面的事而不愿做后面的事。這是固定短語(yǔ)。故選C。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本題難度適中。在這個(gè)短語(yǔ)中的prefer to do rather than do，rather than do也可放在句首；還有prefer doing to doing寧愿做前面的事而不愿做后面的事，注意它們的不同用法及區(qū)別。
即學(xué)即練：I prefer ______ there rather than______ a bus.
A. to walk; to take       B. walk; take
C. to walk; take          D. walk; to take
解析：C。句意：與其坐公共汽車去,還不如走路去。
