( 1 ) 画线部分错误分析。
先看动词expect的搭配,该词有两层意义: ① “预料,预期,预计”; ② (常用于进行时) 等待,期待,盼望。在本题中为第二种意义。当 “期待;盼望” 讲时,用法如下:
1 )动词+ 名词短语。
e.g. I am expecting several important letters, but nothing has arrived.
我正在等几封重要的信件,可是一封都没到。
2 )动词+ 名词短语+ 带 to 的不定式。
e.g. They expected all their children to be high achievers.
他们期望自己所有的孩子都大有作为。
因此,本题的错误是由于动词expect的搭配错误造成的。从以上分析来看,只有选项A 是正确的,其余选项均错误。
