　　1. ____________________ to leave them and strike out on his own though he is in his late twenties.

　　2. Before you take any action, please remember to _______________(权衡你的决定会产生的后果).

　　3. He assured his friend that under no circumstances _________________(他会违背还钱的承诺).

　　4. Most educators advise that kids ____________________ (不要沉溺于电脑游戏).

　　5. Business major as he is, he has ____________________ (从未考虑过从事推销员的工作).

　　答案与解析：

　　1.Their only son has never thought

　　本题所考察的不是一个固定短语，而是一个临时搭配，think to do sth的意思 想到做某事 ，尤用于否定句中。

　　2.weigh the consequences of your decision

　　本题是考察动词weigh的用法，这个单词除了 称量 的意思之外，还有 权衡，斟酌 之意。这里的consequence表示结果，要记得用复数。

　　3.would he break / breach his promise/commitment to pay back / repay the money.

　　本题考察的是倒装的用法，He assured his friend that后面跟的是一个宾语从句，这个宾语从句的句首有表示否定意义的短语under no circumstance(决不)。所以，这个宾语从句的主谓要倒装。

　　4. not be addicted to computer games. / not indulge in computer games

　　本句的谓语动词是advise，所以宾语从句要用虚拟语气，即从句的谓语用should加动词原形，且should也可以省略。

　　5.never considered working as a salesman / taking a job as a salesman

　　本题考察的是动词consider的用法，这个动词要求跟名词或动名词做宾语。 做推销员的工作 ，可以说work as a salesman或者take a job as a salesman。
