Question

—Are you going to leave now?

—Unless you would prefer me        here.

A.staying                      B.that I stay                  C.stay                          D.to stay

Answer 1

D

解析:

答语为省略形，只剩下了条件状语从句。此题考查prefer后接to do作宾补的用法prefer sb. to do sth.。句意为：“你现在要走了吗？”“除非你要我留下。”

另外,prefer作为及物动词还可跟inf.，n?.，that clause,-ing作宾语。如：

He prefers to be alone.他宁愿独自待着。

They preferred walking home.他们宁愿走回家。

Most people here prefer white coffee to black coffee.这里的大部分人更喜欢牛奶咖啡而非纯咖啡。

I prefer that the eggs(should) be done soft.我喜欢做得不很老的蛋。
