问题补充:
We can one to ch ange the habits of a lifetime in a short time.
A. hope
B. wait
C. expect
D. imagine
答案:
A. hope
B. wait
C. expect
D. imagine
解析:expect期望,盼望,表示认为有很大的客观可能性,例如:
I expect the work to be finished by Friday.(我期望这项工作能在星期五前做完。)
wait for ... to do sth.等待、等待......做......,强调“等”这一动词的本身,如:
The audience are waiting eagerly for the performance to begin.(观众正等着演出开始。)
本题如改为这样:I waited for him to arrive in time for dinner, but he didn come.(我等他来赶上晚餐,但他没有来。)
由此可见,expect是表示“期待”,而wait for 是表示“等待”,词义完全不同。
注意hope后不能接sb. to do sth.。imagine being on the moon. 3)Im sorry, but I can imagine anyone doing research like that.
