() 1. —Keep working, Jason! You'll surely realize your dream ______ you give up halfway.
—OK, I will. Thank you, Miss Rowling.

A.unless
B.if
C.when
D.until

A

本题主要考查连词的用法及语义理解。题干大意是“--继续工作，Jason！你一定会实现你的梦想，______你中途放弃。--好的，我会的。谢谢你，Rowling小姐。”根据句意可知，后半句是前半句实现梦想的条件且这个条件是不利的，即中途放弃就不能实现梦想，所以这里需要一个表示“除非”的连词。选项A"unless"的意思是“除非”，符合语境。选项B"if"表示“如果”，引导有利条件，不符合语境；选项C"when"表示“当……时候”，不符合语境；选项D"until"表示“直到……”，也不符合语境。

() 2. When people want to relax, they prefer ______ TV or listen to music rather than ______ newspapers.
A.watching; read
B.watching; to read
C.to watch; read
D.to watch; reading

C

本题主要考查prefer的用法。prefer后接动词时，常用结构为prefer to do sth rather than do sth，表示“宁愿做某事而不愿做某事”。第一个空，根据prefer to do sth可知，应填to watch；第二个空，根据rather than do sth可知，应填read。
