2014年成人英語三級考試模擬練習:詞匯
1. We can't _____ one to change the habits of a lifetime in a short time.
A. hope B. wait C. expect D. imagine
【答案】C。expect期望,盼望,表示認為有很大的客觀可能性,例如:I expect the work to be finished by Friday(. 我期望這項工作能在星期五前做完。)wait for …… to do sth.等待、等待……做……,強調“等”這一動詞的本身,如:The audience are waiting eagerly for the performance to begin.(觀眾正等著演出開始。)本題如改為這樣:I waited for him to arrive in time for dinner, but he didn't come.(我等他來趕上晚餐,但他沒有來。)由此可見,expect是表示“期待”,而wait for是表示“等待”,詞義完全不同。注意hope后不能接sb. to do sth.。imagine being on the moon. 3)I'm sorry, but I can't imagine anyone doing research like that.本題譯文:我們不能期望一個人在這樣短的時間內改變一輩子養(yǎng)成的習慣。
