问题补充:
Doctors the old man not to smoke so much, but he just couldn’t give it up.
A. persuaded
B. promised
C. accepted
D. advised
答案:
A. persuaded
B. promised
C. accepted
(答案→)D. advised
解析:考查动词短语。Persuade sb to do sth说服某人做某事;promise sb to do sth答应某人做某事。Advise sb to do sth建议某人做某事。根据后半句,他不会放弃,说明他没有被说服,排除A。B项的意思与句意不符,故D正确。句意:医生建议他不要抽太多的烟。
