Question

I _____ her not to walk on the thin ice but she would not listen to me.

         A. warned    B. persuaded    C. suggested    D. noticed

Answer 1

A

解析:

warn sb. (not) to do sth.警告某人（不）做某事。Suggest不能接sb. to do sth。persuade sb.(not) to do sth.說服、某人（不）做某事；本題中不能選D. persuaded, 因該動詞強調(diào)行為的結(jié)果。從邏輯上講，既然“說服了”，那么與she wouldn't listen to me就前后矛盾了。如果把句子該為：I tried to persuade her not to walk on the thin ice but she wouldn't listen to me.(我極力勸她不要在薄冰上走，但她不愿聽我的話。)，那么就符合邏輯了。

[注意]warn sb. of sth.警告某人有......。wear out本題中意指（become useless form continued use of wear）用壞，穿破，如：The machine will soon wear out.(這機器即將用壞。)come to and end(結(jié)束)，put ... to use(投入使用), use up(用完)， come into use(開始投入使用)。
