4. “I love traveling. I hope to go with you this time.” “But does your mother _____ you to go?”

A. let                                                       B. agree

C. allow                                                   D. promise

【陷阱】幾個干擾項均有可能誤選。

【分析】最佳答案為C。不能選A是因為 let 后用作賓語補足語的不定式不能帶 to；不能選B是因為動詞 agree 習慣上不用于 agree sb to do sth 這一句式；不能選D是因為在 promise sb to do sth 這一句式中，to do sth 的邏輯主語是 promise 的主語而不其是賓語，比如 He promised me to go 的意思是“他答應我，他去”，而不是“他答應我讓我去”。之所以能選C，是因為 allow sb to do sth（允許某人做某事）與上文語境剛好吻合。

5. If they _______ to make heart-felt apologies soon we will have to bring an action against them.

A. disagreed                                             B. refused

C. agreed                                                  D. hoped

【陷阱】容易誤選A，根據 agree to do sth(同意做某事)，想當然地類推出 disagree to do sth(不同意或不愿意做某事)。

【分析】事實上，語言有很多問題是不能類推的，如上面這一例，英語可說 agree to do sth，但習慣上卻不說 disagree to do sth。類似地，英語中可說 like doing [to do] sth，但在現代英語中習慣上說 dislike doing sth，卻不說dislike to do sth。其實上面一題的最佳答案是B，refuse to do sth 意為“拒絕做某事”或“不愿做某事”。

6. They own two cars, not to _____ a motorbike.

A. speak                                                   B. say

C. talk                                                      D. mention

【陷阱】很容易根據“他們擁有兩輛小汽車，更不用說一輛摩托車了”這一中文語境而選擇B。

【分析】其實最佳答案為D。因為not to say 和 not to mention 均為習語，但其含義區別甚大：

not to mention＝更不用說，此外還有

not to say＝雖不能說，即使不能說

It is warm, not to say hot. 天氣雖說不上熱，但也夠暖了。

He was impolite, not to say rude. 他即使不是粗魯，至少也是沒有禮貌。

There’re ten of us ready to help, not to mention the children. 我們有10個人愿意幫忙，還不算小孩。

They have three dogs to look after, not to mention the cat and the bird. 他們有三只狗要照顧，更別提那只貓和鳥了。

7. “Do your parents agree to your doing that?” “Yes, of course. In fact, they always ______ me to try something new.”

A. hope                                                    B. suggest

C. support                                                D. encourage

【陷阱】幾個干擾項均有可能誤選。因為若僅從漢語意思來看，四個選項均可填入空格處。
