1. A.
   as
2. B.
   to
3. C.
   than
4. D.
   while

Answer 1

C
解析：
本題考查特殊句型的用法。句型would rather do…than do“寧愿做(前者)而不愿做(后者)”。故答案為C。would常和rather搭配在一起用來表達(dá)“寧愿”。英語中表示“寧愿做……，而不愿做……”。常用這幾個句型：would rather do…than do; would do…rather than do…; prefer to do…rather than do…；
注意than后面是省略了to的動詞不定式。平時(shí)學(xué)習(xí)要注意積累一些常用句型。
