十一月专项训练:MPAcc英语词汇运用自测及解析(29)
[答案]C. expect.
[注释]expect 期望,盼望,表示认为有很大的客观可能性,例如:I expect the work to be finished by Friday.(我期望这项工作能在星期五前做完。)wait for ... to do sth.等待、等待......做......,强调“等”这一动词的本身,如:The audience are waiting eagerly for the performance to begin.(观众正等着演出开始。)本题如改为这样:I waited for him to arrive in time for dinner, but he didn't come.(我等他来赶上晚餐,但他没有来。)则句子使是对的。由此可见,expect 是表示“期待”,而wait for 是表示“等待”,词义完全不同。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.(很遗憾,我不能想象人家那样做实验。)本题译文:我们不能期望一个人在这样短的时间内改变一辈子养成的习惯。

[注释]本题中extend 意为“扩大”。lengthen 拉长,延长。magnify 放大。 Spread vi. 传播;vt.展开;He spread butter on the toast.(他在烤面包上涂上奶油。)
