Question

He ______ his sister to give up the plan for cycling along the Mekong River, but failed.

1. A.
   persuaded
2. B.
   tried to persuade
3. C.
   advised
4. D.
   Both B and C

Answer 1

D
試題分析：原句意思是，他勸他的姐姐放棄騎自行車沿湄公河旅行的計劃，但是失敗了。根據(jù)“but failed”可知，勸說失敗了，persuade sb. to do sth. 指說服某人做某事，與下文矛盾，故排除A，try to persuade sb. to do sth. =" advise" sb. to do sth.所以選D。
考點：本題重點考查詞義辨析。
點評：解答此類題型首先要理解上下文題意，把整道題文看清，然后根據(jù)上下文之間的邏輯關系選擇正確答語。對于常用的詞匯及句型一定要多積累。
