【每日一练】 

— I haven’t seen Jack for three days, is he ill?

— ___. His mother told me that he was in hospital.

A. I am afraid so

B. I hope not

C. I don’t expect

D. I am afraid not

【解析】正确答案为A

此题容易误选B或D

一般来说我们不希望别人生病，如果不注意语境的话，就很可能误选为B或D。

由下文His mother told me that he was in hospital. 可知Jack可能生病了。

I am afraid so. 意为“恐怕是这样的”，常用来表示一种不太肯定的语气。

I hope not."我希望不会"

I don't expect." 我不指望"

I'm afraid not."恐怕不是"

正确答案为A
