问题
选择题
He ______ his sister to give up the plan for cycling along the Mekong River, but failed.
A.persuaded
B.tried to persuade
C.advised
D.Both B and C
答案
答案:D
题目分析:原句意思是,他劝他的姐姐放弃骑自行车沿湄公河旅行的计划,但是失败了。根据“but failed”可知,劝说失败了,persuade sb. to do sth. 指说服某人做某事,与下文矛盾,故排除A,try to persuade sb. to do sth. =" advise" sb. to do sth.所以选D。
点评:解答此类题型首先要理解上下文题意,把整道题文看清,然后根据上下文之间的逻辑关系选择正确答语。对于常用的词汇及句型一定要多积累。
