选择题
I would appreciate it if you tell me the way you thought of ______ the difficulties,
A．smoothing away
B．to smooth away
C．doing away with
D．to smooth over
答案
答案：B
分析
句子结构可知, you thought of为定语从句,修饰先行词the way, 做某事的方法可以用 the way to do sth或the way of doing sth表示, 故本题可以填to smooth away或of smoothing away, smooth away意思为 “消除;解决”。本题易受后接动名词的影响而误选A。
