单选题17.There's a man at the reception desk who seems very angry and I think he means______ trouble.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】mean作“意欲,打算(intend)”讲时,后接动词不定式或复合宾语,例如:I meanto accomplish the task,one way or another.不管怎样,我决意要完成这一任务。Do youmean him to read the letter,too?你是否有意让他也看看这封信?mean后接名词或动名词时,意为“意味着(be a sign of)”。例如:This new frontier incident probably meanswar.这一新的边境事件可能导致战争。These new orders for our manufactures will meanworking overtime.这些产品的新订单意味着我们要加班加点了。根据题意,B是正确答案。C是不定式的完成时,表示本打算做而实际未做的事情,故不符合题意。
