Question

—My cousin would like to risk _____ the weight-loss pills rather than _____ in a gym.
—Really? She must be mad.

A．to take; work out.	B．to take; working out.
C．taking; working out.	D．taking; work out.

Answer 1

D

试题分析：risk doing sth 冒险做某事 rather than而不…：在语法上要连接相同的成分,故与risk是并列的谓语,故选D。句意:我堂妹宁愿冒险吃减肥药也不愿在体育馆做锻炼。
点评：rather than 经常用在\"平行结构\"里,即连接两个对等成分。如：I decided to write rather than telephone. 我决定写信而不打电话。英语中的固定短语，意思和用法各不相同，应多积累多记忆。
