Question

The old man would rather_______money to charities than_________ himself expensive things.

A.to donate； buy B.donate； buy C.donating buying

Answer

B

【解析】

句意：那个老人宁愿把钱捐献给慈善机构也不愿给自己买奢侈品。

考查固定搭配。donate意为“捐献，捐赠”，动词原形；to donate动词不定式，donating动名词。buy意为“买，购买”，动词原形；buying动名词。would rather do sth. than do sth.表示在两者中取舍，“宁愿……而不愿/与其……宁可……”。故选B。
