Answer 1

C

試題分析：would rather沒(méi)有人稱和數(shù)的變化，所有的人稱一律用would rather。
“would rather+動(dòng)詞原形”是英語(yǔ)中常見(jiàn)的一個(gè)慣用句式，美國(guó)英語(yǔ)中多用had rather。would (had)在此決無(wú)“過(guò)去”之意，它是一個(gè)情態(tài)助動(dòng)詞，且無(wú)詞性、時(shí)態(tài)變化。would rather+do，它的否定是： would rather not+do寧愿不做某事。故選C。溫馨提醒：would rather后也可跟從句，表示主語(yǔ)寧愿讓某人干某事。這時(shí)，從句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用虛擬語(yǔ)氣，即用一般過(guò)去時(shí)表示現(xiàn)在或?qū)��?lái)要做的事；用過(guò)去完成時(shí)表示已經(jīng)做過(guò)的事或過(guò)去要做的事。例如：
I'd rather she set out to do the work now. 我寧愿她現(xiàn)在就著手做這項(xiàng)工作。
I'd rather you met her at the airport tomorrow morning. 我但愿你明天早上能在機(jī)場(chǎng)見(jiàn)到她。
I'd rather you hadn't told him the news that day. 我真希望你那天沒(méi)有把那個(gè)消息告訴他。
5. would rather后還可接動(dòng)詞的完成式，表示主語(yǔ)要做某事，而結(jié)果卻事與愿違。例如：
I'd rather have left a note on her desk. 我本想留張字條在她書(shū)桌上的。（事實(shí)上沒(méi)有留）
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本題較易。需要考生牢記它的用法。不是以前would后加not,變成否定的形式。還應(yīng)記住would rather表虛擬的用法。
即學(xué)即練: John wants to see me today. I would rather he____ tomorrow than today.
A. came      B. come    C. comes         D. should come
解析：A。句意：約翰今天想去看我。我寧愿他明天來(lái)看我而不是今天。
