Question

When people want to relax themselves, they prefer ________ TV or listen to music rather than ________ newspapers.

A．watching; read	B．watching; to read
C．to watch; read	D．to watch; reading

Answer 1

C

试题分析：prefer to do sth. rather than do sth.“宁愿做...而不做...”词结构中要求前后动词都用原形，结合语境可知选C。
点评：prefer的用法比较复杂，需要注意的是prefer A to B 与prefer to do sth. rather than do sth.的含义相同，结构不同。解答此类题型需要注意的是后面搭配对象的不同。
