(2)翻译句子                                                                （原创）

①你是否考虑过如何到达那里?

②他会被认为是个软弱无能的领导人。

解析：(1) 选D。考查词义辨析。think, regard, consider都有“看作”的意思，然而搭配不同。think一般与of搭配，形成think of ...；regard与as搭配，形成regard ...as; consider可以与as搭配，形成consider ...as，也可以跟不定式,形成consider sb. to do sth.的搭配。

(2)①Have you considered how to get there?

②He will be considered a weak leader.
