　　213.I_____her not to walk on the thin ice but she would not listen to me.

　　A.warned B.persuaded C.suggested D.noticed

　　[答案]A.warned.

　　[注释]warn sb.(not)to do sth.警告某人(不)做某事。

　　Suggest不能接sb.to do sth。persuade sb.(not)to do sth.说服、某人(不)做某事;本题中不能选D.persuaded,因该动词强调行为的结果。从逻辑上讲，既然“说服了”，那么与she wouldn't listen to me就前后矛盾了。如果把句子该为：I tried to persuade her not to walk on the thin ice but she wouldn't listen to me.(我极力劝她不要在薄冰上走，但她不愿听我的话。)，那么就符合逻辑了。

　　[注意]warn sb.of sth.警告某人有......。

　　214.When products made in factories_____,they are thrown away as garbage.

　　A.come to an end B.are put to use

　　[答案]D.wear out.

　　[注释]wear out本题中意指(become useless form continued use of wear)用坏，穿破，如：The machine will soon wear out.(这机器即将用坏。)come to and end(结束)，put...to use(投入使用),use up(用完)，come into use(开始投入使用)。

　　215.She is making herself ill with_____over her son's future.

　　A.trouble B.annoyance C.disgust D.worry

　　[答案]D.worry

　　[注释]worry既可作动词用，也可以作名词用，意思是“忧虑”，后接介词about或over。worry over比worry about对某事的忧虑更为持久，更为专注，如：He worries over the least thing that goes wrong.(他总是惟恐有一点小事出错。)
