　　A. warned    B. persuaded    C. suggested    D. noticed
　　[答案]A. warned.
　　[注释]warn sb. (not) to do sth.警告某人（不）做某事。
Suggest不能接sb. to do sth。persuade sb.(not) to do sth.说服、某人（不）做某事；本题中不能选D. persuaded, 因该动词强调行为的结果。从逻辑上讲，既然“说服了”，那么与she wouldn't listen to me就前后矛盾了。如果把句子该为：I tried to persuade her not to walk on the thin ice but she wouldn't listen to me.(我极力劝她不要在薄冰上走，但她不愿听我的话。)，那么就符合逻辑了。

　　A. trouble    B. annoyance    C. disgust    D. worry

96. The microphone enabled them to keep in touch, in other words, it made it _____ for them to contact each other.
　　A. likely    B. capable    C. possible    D. probable

　　[注释]able有才能的，有能力的，指人的才智，而且是受过实际锻炼的才干。Capable“有才能的，能胜任的”(有褒、贬 二义)，如：He is capable of anything.(他什么事都干得出来。)此句含有明显得贬义。此外，作表语时，able接不定式，capable接of. capable还有一意思是“有可能 的”，例如：The car is capable of being repaired .（这辆汽车是有可能修好的。）用于此义时，be capable of 后常接被动语态动名词或有动作意义的名词：The situation is capable of improvement .possible 强调客观可能性，“可能的”程度比probable"大概的，很可能的低一些。
　　[注意]likely与possible在结构搭配上的区别。Likely可用于下列句型中：1)It is likely that...例如：It is highly likely that he will succeed.（很可能他会成功。）2)think(feel, consider)it likely ...例如：I think it likely that we will ultimately get a certain amount of money.3)be likely to do sth.例如：He is likely to see you again .但下面的句型是错误的，It is likely for sb to do sth.所以think it likely for sb. to do sth.也是错误的，故本题不能选likely.
