A. to stop to think... carry B. to stop thinking... carrying C. to stop thinking... carry D. to stop thinking... to carry 2.B) 【句意】我建议你不要想着去执行这样危险的计划。 【难点】advise 一般用于句型“advise(sb)that 或advise sb to do sth,意为“建议…做”。stop 后跟动名词或名词时,意为“不再做某事,停止正做的事”。如果stop后跟动词不定式,则表示停止一件事情而开始做另一件事情。 3.

A. 对Who told the news to the teacher的标准回答是Jim did,即Jim did it的省略句。此外,还可以用其他代词指代问句中出现的内容,so和that都可以指代前
