Question

Young people usually____ city life to country life while old people _______ enjoy country life.

A．would rather; prefer	B．prefer; would rather
C．would rather; would rather	D．prefer; prefer

Answer 1

B

试题分析： prefer A to B表示与B相比更喜欢A，主语A和B结构一定要相同；would rather，宁愿Would(rather)后接不带to的动词不定式。句意：比起乡下生活来，年轻人更喜欢城里的生活，然而老人更喜欢乡下生活。结合语境可知选B。
点评：prefer和would rather的用法比较复杂，需要注意的是搭配动词的不同。非谓语动词的用法比较复杂，但都有比较固定的应用规则，平时应熟记这些规则，答题时结合具体语境分析。
