Question

Doctors ___ the old man not to smoke so much, but he just couldn’t give it up.

A．persuaded

B．promised

C．accepted

D．advised

Answer 1

D

试题分析：考查动词短语。Persuade sb to do sth说服某人做某事；promise sb to do sth答应某人做某事。Advise sb to do sth建议某人做某事。根据后半句，他不会放弃，说明他没有被说服，排除A。B项的意思与句意不符，故D正确。句意：医生建议他不要抽太多的烟。

点评：本题的短语都是很重要的短语结构Persuade sb to do sth说服某人做某事；promise sb to do sth答应某人做某事。Advise sb to do sth建议某人做某事。要在语境中看哪一个符合句意。
