 The little girl was afraid _____ on the wooden bridge, for she is afraid _____ into the river.

答:选A解析:该题考查的是be afraid to与be afraid of的用法区别。

在解答该题之前,让我们先来了解一下它们的用法与区别:

be afraid to do 不敢,胆怯去做某事,是主观上的原因不去做,动作受主语控制;

be afraid of doing 担心出现doing的状况、结果。 doing 是客观上造成的,动作往往不受主语控制,意为“生怕,担心”。

例如:She was afraid to step further in grass

because she was afraid of being bitten by a snake.她

生怕被蛇咬着,而不敢在草丛中再走一步。

注:当动作是主语能控制的,两者可以换用。下面

两句用be afraid to do,和be afraid of doing都可以。

She was afraid to wake her husband.她不敢去叫醒她丈夫。(更强调不敢做)

She was afraid of waking her husband.她生怕吵醒她丈夫。(更强调担心)

而此题的句意为“这个小女孩儿不敢在木桥上走,因为她生怕掉进河里。”由此可知,正确答案为A项。
