1、In fact, Peter would rather have left for San Francisco than_______in New York.
A.to stay B.stayed C.staying D.having stayed
2、He soon received promotion, for his superiors realized that he was a man of considerable_______.
A.ability B.future C.possibility D.opportunity
参考答案&解析:
1、B would rather…than这一句型的使用。would rather…than意思是“宁愿……而不”;rather和than连接的两个动词在语法上须保持一致。因此,与句中have left一致的词应该是have stayed,其中相同的成分have可以省略。句意:实际上,彼得宁愿去旧金山,而不是呆在纽约。
2、A 名词词义的辨析。ability能力; future未来;possibility可能性;opportunity机遇。句意:他很快就得到了提升,因为他的上司认识到他是一个相当有能力的人。
