Answer 1

B
試題分析：考查虛擬語氣：would rather “寧愿”，后面的從句用虛擬語氣。與現(xiàn)在或?qū)�來時(shí)期相反是，用動(dòng)詞的過去式，與過去是相反時(shí)，用動(dòng)詞的過去完成式，即had done 本題與be going to 表示將來，因此would rather 后面應(yīng)用動(dòng)詞的過去式。句意：George要談?wù)撍麌�家的地理，我寧愿他更專注于國家的文化。選B。
考點(diǎn)：考查虛擬語氣
點(diǎn)評：would （had）rather , would sooner也用來表達(dá)主觀愿望，它們之后的賓語從句中需用虛擬語氣。謂語動(dòng)詞用過去式表示現(xiàn)在或?qū)�來，用過去完成式表示與過去事實(shí)相反
