A. fooled around
B. to fool around
C. having fooled around
D. to have fooled around
题目解答
答案
B. to fool around
解析
本题考查固定搭配的用法。解题的关键在于熟悉“know better than to do sth.”这一固定表达。
“know better than to do sth.”是一个常用的固定短语,意思是“明事理而不至于做某事;很明智而不会做某事”。在这个短语中,to do sth. 是固定的结构形式。
在本题中,“As a senior student, you are supposed to know better than...”表达的是作为一名高年级学生,应该明白事理而不至于做某事。所以后面需要接动词不定式“to fool around”。
选项A“fooled around”是过去式或过去分词形式,不符合“know better than to do sth.”的结构要求;选项C“having fooled around”是现在分词的完成式,也不符合该固定搭配;选项D“to have fooled around”是动词不定式的完成式,同样不符合此固定结构。
