【C1】

选项 A、had better
B、would rather
C、used to
D、were to

答案C

解析 如果癌症的治疗方案很随意、粗心,效果肯定差,所以不宜选择had better或would rather,而且这两个词组的主语通常是有生命的。同学们比较熟悉be to do…的用法,但也很少用。…was(were)to do…不单纯是be to do…的过去时,有时还有另外一个意义,表示“后来的结果”,如…an event in the 1930s that was to change the world。根据后面句子的含义,不宜选择were to,与nowadays矛盾,而used to表示“过去是……”,与nowadays形成对比。
