I stopped the car ______ a short break as I was feeling tired. (2013年山东高考)
A. take B. taking C. to take D. taken
答案为C,为什么不能选 B 呢?
同意quanfa的看法,补充一下:
表目的时,英语习惯上是用不定式,不用现在分词。
另外,考查不定式表目的的用法一直是高考英语的一个重点。又如:
______ warm at night, I would fill the woodstove, then set my alarm clock for midnight so I could refill it. (2013湖南卷)
A. Staying B. Stayed C. To stay D. Stay
答案为C。根据句意,句首需填不定式,表目的。
句意为:为了使晚间保持暖和,我会把壁炉加满,然后把闹钟定好时间,以便可以给壁炉再添木材。
