Question

—Do you think Brazil will beat Japan in the next match ?
—Yes, they have better players, so they _____ to win.

A．are expected	B．expect
C．are hoped	D．were hoped

Answer 1

A

试题分析：句意为：---你认为下场比赛巴西会打败日本吗？---是的，他们有最好的球员，因此人们都期望他们会赢。are expected to是被动语态后面加不定式，表达“被期许（预期）会做某事…… ”
表示“人们期望”、“期望他们”、“外界预计”、“人们都期待”等意思。故选A。
