The volunteers would rather go by train than ________.
正确答案： B
本题解析：
would rather 或 would sooner 的意思都是“宁愿” ，其后要求直接用动词原形。 如果后边是 that 引导的从句，那么要求用过去时动词表示尚未发生的动作，用过去完成时动词表示对已经发生的动作的某种愿望。应用举例： We would rather talk about football or the weather. 我们宁愿谈谈有关足球或者天气的话题。 I would rather you came tomorrow. 我宁愿你明天去。 I would sooner you had gone there too. 我宁愿你也去那里了。
