    1. You_________________________ (無論多么小心都不為過) when you drive a car.

    1、【答案】cannot be too careful
    解析:本題考查對cannot…too…結(jié)構(gòu)的掌握。cannot…too…意為“無論…都不為過”,具有肯定的含義。相似的句子還有:A woman cannot have too many hats while a man cannot have too many ties.(女人不嫌帽子多,男人不嫌領(lǐng)帶多。)
    2、【答案】dreams of there being a chance
    【解析】本題考查對短語dream of、there be句型和動名詞的掌握?!皦粢?,夢到”用dream of表示,后常接動名詞作賓語。 There is sth.for sb.表示“某人有某物”,故表示“她有機會”應(yīng)該用there is a chance for her;而dream of后面要求接動名詞作賓語,故應(yīng)將is改成bein9。另外,句尾的不定式是作a chance的定語,表示“被派往國外的機會”。
