15.If you _______ in behaving in this way you will bring yourself nothing but trouble .
A. continue
B. persist
C. decide
D. react
题目解答
答案
B. persist
解析
本题考查动词短语的固定搭配及语境意义。关键点在于区分persist in doing sth与continue doing sth的用法差异:
- persist in doing sth 强调“固执地坚持做某事”,常暗示行为可能带来负面后果;
- continue doing sth 侧重“继续做某事”,中性或积极语境更常见。
题目中“bring yourself nothing but trouble”暗示行为可能带来不良结果,因此需选择persist。
选项辨析
-
A. continue
- 通常搭配为 continue doing sth 或 continue to do sth,表示“继续做某事”。
- 但 continue in doing sth 的用法较少,且语境多为中性或积极,与题干的负面结果不匹配。
-
B. persist
- 固定搭配为 persist in doing sth,强调“坚持(固执地)做某事”。
- 题干中“带来麻烦”与 persist 的负面语境高度契合。
-
C. decide
- 搭配为 decide to do sth,需接不定式,与题干中的 in behaving 结构不符。
-
D. react
- 搭配为 react to sth,表示“对某事反应”,与“继续行为”的语境无关。
