选择题
Hong Kong singer and actress Gigi Leung（梁咏琪）visited in mid-October some poor families in Inner Mongolia, ______ that her trip will ______ public awareness of problems faced by the children in poor areas.
A． hoped; raise
B． hoping; rise
C． in the hope; raise
D． in hopes of; raise
答案
答案：C
考查固定短语和动词辨析。句意“香港歌手和演员梁咏琪在10月中旬访问了内蒙古一些贫困家庭，希望她的此次旅行会提高公众对贫困地区孩子们面临的问题的认识。”in the hope是介词短语作状语；第一空也可以用hoping作伴随状语；raise是及物动词，在此意为“提高”。故选C。
