3. I _____ her not to walk on the thin ice but she wouldnot listen to me.
A. warned B. persuaded C. suggested D. noticed
[答案]A. warned.
[注释]warn sb. (not) to do sth.警告某人（不）做某事。
suggest不能接sb. to do sth.
persuade sb.(not) to dosth.说服、某人（不）做某事；本题中不能选D. persuaded, 因该动词强调行为的结果。
从逻辑上讲，既然“说服了”，那么与she wouldn't listen to me就前后矛盾了。
如果把句子改为：I tried to persuade her not to walk on the thin ice but shewouldn't listen to me.(我极力劝她不要在薄冰上走，但她不愿听我的话。)，那么就符合逻辑了。
[注意]warn sb. of sth.警告某人有......

come to an end(结束)，put ... to use(投入使用), use up(用完)， come intouse(开始投入使用)
5. She is making herself ill with _____ over her son'sfuture.
A. trouble B. annoyance C. disgust D. worry
[答案]D. worry
[注释]worry既可作动词用，也可以作名词用，意思是“忧虑”，后接介词about或over.
worry over 比worry about对某事的忧虑更为持久，更为专注，如：
He worries over the least thing that goes wrong.(他总是惟恐有一点小事出错。)
6. The microphone enabled them to keep in touch, inother words, it made it _____ for them to contact eachother.
A. likely B. capable C. possible D. probable
[答案]C. possible
[注释]able有才能的，有能力的，指人的才智，而且是受过实际锻炼的才干。
capable有才能的，能胜任的”(有褒、贬 二义)，如：
He is capable of anything.(他什么事都干得出来。)此句含有明显得贬义。
此外，作表语时，able接不定式，capable接of. capable还有一意思是“有可能的”，例如：
The car is capable of being repaired .（这辆汽车是有可能修好的。）用于此义时，
be capable of 后常接被动语态动名词或有动作意义的名词：The situationis capable of improvement .
possible强调客观可能性，“可能的”程度比probable"大概的，很可能"的低一些。
[注意]likely与possible在结构搭配上的区别。Likely可用于下列句型中：
1)It is likely that...例如：It is highly likely that he willsucceed.（很可能他会成功。）
2)think(feel, consider)it likely ...例如：I think it likely that wewill ultimately get a certain amount of money.
3)be likely to do sth.例如：He is likely to see you again .
但下面的句型是错误的，It is likely for sb to do sth.
所以think it likely for sb. to do sth.也是错误的，故本题不能选likely.

3)She is not worthy to talk to man like you.（她配不上与你这样一位男士谈话）
