Rather than ______ on a crowded bus, he always prefers ____　a bicycle A．ride; ride　 B．riding; ride C．ride; to ride D．to ride; riding

Answer 1

C

试题分析：句意：他喜欢骑自行车，而不是乘坐拥挤的公交车。这里是prefer to do …rather than do…喜欢做某事而不喜欢做另一事，这里只不过把rather than…放在了句首，故选C。 点评：本题难度适中。固定短语是高中阶段的重点，在近几年的考试中经常出现，需要考生牢记它们的用法及意义，这里考生容易误选C。 即学即练：I would prefer ______ home rather than ______ on such a rainy day. A．to stay; go out　   B．staying; go out  C．stay; to go out     D．to stay; going out 解析：A。句意：在这种雨天，我宁可待在家也不出门。
