题目解答
答案
C
解析
本题考查动词的固定搭配和语境理解。关键点在于理解句子中“不能……人们在短时间内改变一生的习惯”这一逻辑关系。需要根据语境选择符合“期望某人做某事”的动词短语,并注意排除结构或意义不符的选项。
选项分析
A. agree
“Agree”意为“同意”,但“agree people to do sth”搭配错误。正确用法是“agree with sb about sth”或“agree to do sth”,且句意不符。
B. wait
“Wait”意为“等待”,但“wait people”结构错误,正确用法是“wait for sb”。此外,句中强调的是“可能性”而非“时间”,与“等待”无关。
C. expect
“Expect”意为“期望”,搭配“expect sb to do sth”是固定用法,表示“期望某人做某事”。句中否定形式“can’t expect”符合逻辑(即“不能期望人们短时间内改变长期习惯”)。
D. imagine
“Imagine”意为“想象”,虽然可以“imagine people changing habits”,但句中否定更强调“现实可能性”而非“主观想象”,因此不符合语境。
