选项
A、used
B、apt
C、possible
D、probable
答案
D
解析
结构型词义搭配。Be apt to do sth.倾向于,习惯于:A careless person is apt to make mistakes.be used to doing sth.习惯于(后接名词或动名词)。sb.is possible to do sth.是错误的,应改为h is possible for sb.to do sth.。probable (很可能成为现实的)经常用于"It is probable that..."句型中或sth. is probable句型,例如:1) It is probable that it will rain today.2) Colder weather is probable.此外,probable也可以作定语形容词,修饰名词,如;He is a probable candidate.
