I think he is to win, but I'm not sure.A.possibleB.likelyC.impossibleD.certain

I think he is _____ to win, but I'm not sure.

A.possible

B.likely

C.impossible

D.certain

试题答案

B

从语意上看，D肯定不能选；从英语习惯上看，A和C也不能选；此题最佳答案为B。请再看几例： He is likely to arrive a bit late.他可能会晚到一会儿。

It's likely that he will go abroad.他可能会出国。

注意：虽然possible和likely均可表示“可能”，但两者的搭配是不同的，即可说someone is likely to do sth，但不能说someone is possible to do sth。如：他有可能会同她一道去。

正：He is likely to go with her.正：It's likely that he will go with her.

误：He is possible to go with her.正：It's possible that he will go with her.

另外，还可说：It's possible for him to go with her
