Question

Kate __________ the hills __________ when she was young.

A．preferred to climb; rather than exercise

B．prefers climbing; to exercising

C．preferred to climb; to exercise

D．preferred climbing; to exercising

Answer 1

C

試題分析：句意：當(dāng)她年輕時(shí)，凱特為了鍛煉，寧愿去爬山。本句中不定式to exercise做目的狀語，表示具體的將要進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作。前文prefer to表示更喜歡做某事，故選C。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：prefer的用法比較復(fù)雜，需要注意的是prefer A to B 與prefer to的區(qū)別。非謂語動(dòng)詞的用法比較復(fù)雜，但都有比較固定的應(yīng)用規(guī)則，平時(shí)應(yīng)熟記這些規(guī)則，答題時(shí)結(jié)合具體語境分析。
