Question

(经典回放)－Do you think the Stars will beat the Bulls?

－Yes．They have better players, so I ________ them to win．

[　　]

A．hope

B．prefer

C．expect

D．want

Answer 1

答案：C
解析：

从词法上看hope sb. to do sth．是错误的，因此排除A项，提供的客观语境“They have better players．”，词意prefer和expect都对，但prefer表示个人喜好而不是客观情景，综合起来正确答案选C项。
