新课标高考英语词汇(同义、近义、相似词)精选练****一)详解
1. We can't _____ one to change the habits of a lifetime in a short time.
A. hope B. wait C. expect D. imagine
C. expect.
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 、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'e.(我等他来赶上晚餐,但他没有来。)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.
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****惯。
