Question

Hong Kong singer and actress Gigi Leung（梁詠琪）visited in mid-October some poor families in Inner Mongolia, ______ that her trip will ______ public awareness of problems faced by the children in poor areas.

A． hoped; raise

B． hoping; rise

C． in the hope; raise

D． in hopes of; raise

Answer 1

C

考查固定短語和動詞辨析。句意“香港歌手和演員梁詠琪在10月中旬訪問了內蒙古一些貧困家庭，希望她的此次旅行會提高公眾對貧困地區孩子們面臨的問題的認識。”in the hope是介詞短語作狀語；第一空也可以用hoping作伴隨狀語；raise是及物動詞，在此意為“提高”。故選C。
