—No，        . A.I’d rather not       B.I’d rather you not

C.I’d rather you didn’t      D.I’d like not to

解析：本题考查情景交流用语。I’d rather not是I’d rather not open the window的省略句，意思是“我不愿开窗”。I’d rather后不跟you not结构，B项语法不正确。I’d rather后可跟从句，从句中的谓语动词用一般过去时态，所以选项C为正确答案。

答案：C

25.I would rather you            with us yesterday，but you left.

A.had stayed        B.stay

解析：本题考查动名词与不定式的比较。前者表示抽象、笼统的概念，后者多指具体的某次形式，故第一空使用动名词，第二空使用不定式。

Ⅳ.阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，共40分)

A

In some parts of the United States，farming is easy.But farming has always been difficult in the northeastern corner of the country，which is called New England.

New England has many trees and thin，rocky soil(多石土壤).Anyone who has wanted to start a new farm there has had to work very hard.The first job has been cutting down the trees.The second job has been digging out the roots(根)of the trees.Then the farmer has had the difficult job of removing(移走)stones from his land.This work of removing stones never really ends，because every winter more stones appear.They come up through the thin soil from the rocks below.Farmers have to keep removing stones from the fields.Even today，farms which have been worked on for two hundred years still keep producing more stones.That is why stone walls are used instead of fences in New England fields.The stone walls are not high and a man can easily climb over them.However，they keep the farmer’s cows from joining those of his neighbours’.
