---Did you watch the football match yesterday? --- Yes. Tom scored the highest. Nobody ______ him to do so well.
A. expected
B. wanted
C. encouraged
D. hoped
题目解答
答案
A. expected
解析
本题考查动词短语的固定搭配及语境理解。关键点在于区分选项中四个动词的用法差异:
- expect sb to do sth 表示“预料某人会做某事”,强调对结果的预测;
- want/encourage/hope 则分别对应主动的“希望”“鼓励”“期盼”,与语境中“无人预料”的被动结果不符。
选项辨析
-
A. expected
expect sb to do sth 是固定搭配,意为“预计/预料某人会做某事”。题目中“Tom表现超预期”符合这一语境。 -
B. wanted
want sb to do sth 表示“希望某人做某事”,但句中未体现“主动希望”之意,排除。 -
C. encouraged
encourage sb to do sth 意为“鼓励某人做某事”,与“无人预料”的被动结果矛盾,排除。 -
D. hoped
hope 后通常接从句(如 hope that he would...),直接接不定式不符合习惯用法,排除。
