Question

During the examinations we are supposed to remain in our seats, fix our eyes on the papers, _____to anyone.

A．instead of speaking	B．and not to speak
C．rather than speak	D．but shouldn’t speak

Answer 1

B

試題分析：考察句子結構。本題實際上考察的是be supposed to do sth的否定式和省略形式。在橫線上本來應該是are supposed not to speak to anyone。本句實際上是三個謂語結構的并列：are supposed to remain in our seats, fix our eyes on the papers, and are supposed not to speak to anyone。句意：在考試指，我們應該坐在自己的位置上，把眼睛集中在試卷上，而不應該和別人講話。故B正確。
點評：在英語中如果有三個并列結構，應該為：A, B and C；中間用and連接。在具體的語境指要注意上下文的串聯和搭配。
