Question

【题目】We would rather our daughter ________ at home with us, but it is her choice, and she is not a child any longer.

A. would stay B. has stayed

C. stayed D. stay

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】考查特殊句式。would rather后直接跟宾语从句中，从句不用that连接。①如果表示现在或将来要做的事情,从句的谓语动词用一般过去式。如：I'd rather you met her at the airport tomorrow morning. (将来) 我但愿你明天早上能在机场见到他。②如果谈论过去动作,从句的谓语动词用过去完成式。如：I'd rather you hadn't told him the news that day. (过去) 我宁可你那天没有把那消息告诉他。根据语境，这是与现在事实相反的愿望，故选C。
