Rather than ______ at home, he prefers ______ out to play football even on a cold day.
A.to stay; to go
B.staying; to go
C.stay; to go
D.staying; going
答案:C
题目分析:考查prefer的固定结构。Prefer to do sth rather than do sth宁愿做某事也不愿意做某事。本题是把rather than提前了。句意:在寒冷的天气里他宁愿出去踢足球,也不愿意呆在家里。故C正确。
点评:prefer的用法是动词考查中重要的一点。Prefer to do sth rather than do sth, prefer doing sth to doing sth等用法都要关注。
