If he continues to steal, he is most ___...

If he continues to steal, he is most _____ to end up in prison.

A. possible      B. probable

C. likely        D. perhaps

 

C 【解析】考查形容词辨析。可能性由大到小是:probable, likely, perhaps, pissible。句意:如果他继续偷窃,他很可能会以抓进监狱而告终。表示可能性从表面看来很大,故选C。拓展:一. possible表示客观上潜在的可能性,也许实际发生的可能性并不大。possible一般不用表示人的词作主语,但若真的要用表示人的词作主语,possible后接不定式,这个不定式动作的逻辑宾语应是句子的主语,但此时的possible已经转意为“容易的”。常用结构有:1. It is possible(for sb)to do sth.2. It is possible that从句.二. probable表示有几分根据的推测,比possible表示的可能性大。换句话说,probable的“有可能”,是指有实际的依据或逻辑上合乎情理。一般不用表人的词作主语。常用结构有:1. Sth. is probable.2. It is probable that从句.三. likely强调表面上看来有可能,与probable意思接近,有时可以互换,但likely常暗示从表面迹象判断;probable则经过权衡正反两方面的理由后而相信某事是真实的或大概会发生。常用结构有:1. 主语(人或物)is likely to do sth.2. It is likely that从句。 考点:考查形容词。
