I’d appreciate ________ if you could let me know in advance whether or not you will come.
A.it B.you
C.one D.this
A
【详解】
考查it用法。句意:如果你能提前告诉我你是否会来的话,我将非常感激。appreciate后跟接if或when从句时,其后不直接跟if或when引导的从句,若语义上需要接这类从句,需借助it,it作形式宾语。故选A。
【点睛】
使用appreciate的四点习惯
1)习惯上不接不定式作宾语,其后可接名 (代)词、动名词、名词性从句等作宾语,但不能接不定式。如:
We shall appreciate hearing from you again.能再次收到你的来信,我们将十分感激。
I appreciate that you have come here so early. 感谢你来得这么早。
2)习惯上不用“人”作宾语,其后只能接“事”作宾语,而不能接“人”作宾语 (注意:这与thank 的用法恰恰相反)。
正:I appreciate your kindness. 谢谢你的好意。误:I appreciate you for your kindness.
正:He thanked her for her kindness. 他感谢她的好意。误:He thanked her kindness.
3)后接if或when从句时习惯上要先接it。其后不直接跟if或when引导的从句,若语义上需要接这类从句,需借助it。
如:I would appreciate it very much if you would help me with it. 如果你能帮助我做这事,我会十分感激。
We really appreciate it when she offered to help. 她来帮忙了,我们十分感激。
4)关于修饰语的搭配习惯,要表示程度,可用 deeply, highly, (very) much 等副词修饰。如:I deeply appreciateyour kindness. 我深深感谢你的好意。
He highly appreciated their help. 他非常感谢他们的帮助。
注意:much 修饰 appreciate时,只能置于其前,而不能置于其后但 very much 却可以)。如:我们非常感谢你的邀请。正:We much appreciate your invitation.正:We appreciate your invitation very much. 误:We appreciate your invitation much.
