Question

— A nice day, isn’t it? Which do you prefer, fishing by the river ____ reading at home?

—Hmm…I       do some reading at home.

A.to; would rather B.or; would rather C.to; prefer D.or; prefer

Answer

B

【解析】

句意：——今天天气不错，不是吗？你喜欢在河边钓鱼还是在家看书？——嗯……我宁愿在家看书。

考查固定短语。prefer的意思是“更喜欢”；would rather的意思是“宁愿，宁可”；根据“Which do you prefer, fishing by the river ____ reading at home?” 第一个句子是一个选择疑问句，问的是喜欢这两者中的哪一个，也就是更喜欢哪一个，所以要用连词or，故排除A和C；第二空，结合句意可知，此空的意思是“宁愿，宁可”，应填would rather，故排除D，故选B。
