题目解答
答案
“would rather that...”后接从句时需用虚拟语气。表现在或将来，用过去式（如“did not”）；表过去，用“had not”。本题中，“I would rather that they did not travel...”符合要求，表现在情况。选项A、B均不符，D缺少助动词“did”。综合分析，C项“did not”最恰当。
答案：C. did not
解析
本题考查虚拟语气的用法，核心在于掌握“would rather that”结构的固定搭配。
关键点：
- “would rather that”引导的从句中，无论主句时态如何，从句动词需用虚拟语气。
- 表示现在的愿望时，从句动词用过去式（如
did not）；表示过去的愿望时，用had not。 - 其他选项中，A、B未使用虚拟语气，D缺少助动词
did，均不符合语法要求。
选项分析
- A. do not：未使用虚拟语气，错误。
- B. must not：
must是情态动词，与would rather重复且结构不符，错误。 - C. did not：符合虚拟语气规则（现在愿望用过去式），正确。
- D. not：缺少助动词
did，结构不完整，错误。
语法总结
“would rather that”后接从句时，从句动词需用虚拟语气：
- 现在/将来：
动词的过去式（如did not travel） - 过去：
had + 过分词（如had not traveled）
