Question

(2013·辽宁五校第一联合体高三考试)The little child ________ go out alone at night, so he ________ walk in the dark that night.

A．doesn't dare to; dared not to

B．daren't to; didn't dare to

C．daren't; dared not

D．doesn't dare to; dare not

Answer

C

【解析】C 考查dare的用法。句意：那个小孩晚上不敢独自外出，所以那晚他不敢在黑暗中行走。dare既可作实义动词，也可作情态动词，作实义动词时，一般用dare to do sth.；作情态动词时，后接动词原形。分析各个选项可排除A、B两项，再根据句中的that night可知，第二空应用一般过去时，排除D项。故选C项。
