【解析】

的用法

1)once用作連詞時(shí),意為“一旦……就……”,用于連接時(shí)間狀語從句,相當(dāng)于as soon as

Once you begin to read it, you will like it.
一旦你開始讀,你就會(huì)喜歡它。

2)once用作副詞時(shí),意為“曾經(jīng);一度;從前”。它是一個(gè)不確定的時(shí)間副詞,其位置一般是在行為動(dòng)詞之前,系動(dòng)詞之后。

Once he lived in America, but now he lives in England.
他曾經(jīng)生活在美國(guó),但現(xiàn)在他生活在英國(guó)。

3)once用作副詞時(shí)作“一次”、“一遍”、“一倍”

We go to the plant once a day.
我們一天去工廠一次。

【注意】

注意once用作副詞時(shí),在句中的位置不同表示的意思也不同,所以要特別注意。如:

I once went to Shanghai. 我曾經(jīng)去過上海。
I went to Shanghai once. 我去過上海一次。

4)once常用短語

at once(立刻;馬上) once again(再一次;又一次)

once in a while(偶爾;間或) all at once(突然)

once upon a time(很早以前;從前)

rather的用法

1)如果在兩者中進(jìn)行取舍,表示“寧愿……而不愿……,與其……寧可……”的意思時(shí),則可用would rather…than…或would…rather than…的句型

I would rather watch TV at home than go to the cinema.
我寧可在家看電視而不愿去看電影。

2)would rather…than…/would…rather than…也可以顛倒為:rather than…would…。Would(rather)和than后都接不帶to的動(dòng)詞不定式,若選用的動(dòng)詞相同,那么than 后的動(dòng)詞可以省略。

I would rather have noodles than rice.
我寧愿吃面條也不吃米飯。

3)使用would rather…than…句型時(shí)要注意“平行結(jié)構(gòu)”,即在than 的前后要用兩個(gè)同類的詞或詞組,如兩個(gè)名詞、兩個(gè)不定式、兩個(gè)介詞短語等。

I would rather go to work by bike than by bus.
我寧愿騎自行車也不愿乘公共汽車去上班。?

A. ride; ride?B. riding; ride?C. ride; to ride?D. to ride; riding
