B [解析]考查动词(词组)辨析。“dress in+颜色”是固定搭配，表示“穿……颜色的衣服”。故选 B。

C [解析]考查动词辨析。句意:——我正在考虑如何度过周末。你有什么建议? ——和我们一起去露营怎么样?我们可以一起玩得很开心。insist 坚持;imagine 想象;suggest 建议;suppose 假设。根据答语“How about going camping with us?”可知,空处是想问有什么“建议”。故选 C。

B. do you prefer; would rather
C. would you rather; would rather
D. do you prefer; prefer

B [解析]考查动词的固定用法。would rather do sth 宁愿做某事;prefer sth to sth 比起某物更喜欢某物。根据
prefer 后面接动词一般用“prefer to do sth”或“prefer doing sth”。
“Which of these two dresses... the pink one or the red one, Madam?”可知,上一句是在询问更喜欢哪件衣服,应用动词 prefer;根据“I... take a look at a light green one.”可知,第二空应用 would rather。故选 B。
