Answer 1

选A
Favor 的用法：
n.
好感,宠爱,关切,欢心,好意,喜爱
vt.
支持,赞成,照顾,促成,喜欢,证实,赐予
favor 作动词用时，后面大部分情况接名词；如果是动词，必须是动名词做宾语

例句：1.Critics argued that the policy favored the private sector.
批评家们争辩说该政策偏重了私营经济。
2. Please favor me with an answer.敬请赐复。
3. Slashing public spending is a policy that few politicians favour.
没有几个政治家对削减公共开支表示赞同。
4.Hot climate and plentiful rainfall favour the growth of plants.
炎热的气候和充足的雨水有助于植物生长。

重要词组：
1）in favor (of )表示“赞成、主张”，常用作表语或后置定语。
The students were in favor of reform. 学生赞成改革。
2）do sb. a favor或do a favor for sb. 是个正式的礼貌用语，意思是 “给某人以恩惠，帮某人的忙”。
Would you do me a favor? 帮我一下好吗？
Do me a favor by turning off the radio. 帮我把收音机关掉。
Do me the favor to come. 务请光临。
注：do sb. a favor后接of doing 或不定式时，应将不定冠词a改为定冠词the。
