Directions ." Complete the sentences on Answer Sheet 2 by translating into English the Chinese given in brackets. "

1. You_________________________when you drive a car.

2. She never dreams of_______________________for her to be sent abroad very soon.

1、【答案】cannot be too careful

解析:本题考查对cannot…too…结构的掌握。cannot…too…意为“无论…都不为过”，具有肯定的含义。相似的句子还有：A woman cannot have too many hats while a man cannot have too many ties．

2、【答案】dreams of there being a chance

【解析】本题考查对短语dream of、there be句型和动名词的掌握。“梦见，梦到”用dream of表示，后常接动名词作宾语。 There is sth．for sb．表示“某人有某物”，故表示“她有机会”应该用there is a chance for her；而dream of后面要求接动名词作宾语，故应将is改成bein9。另外，句尾的不定式是作a chance的定语，表示“被派往国外的机会”。
