答案:D
题目分析:
句意:她把她的钱花在书上而不是在衣服上了。A:spends money on sth 在……上花钱;B:instead 1. 替代 He is too busy, let me go instead.他太忙了,让我去吧。 2. 反而,却Instead of disturbing her, the news had a strangely calming effect.这消息非但没有令她不安,反而产生了一种奇怪的镇定效果。C:1. “More than+名词”表示“不仅仅是” e.g. We need more than material wealth to build our country.建设我们国家,不仅仅需要物质财富. 2. “More than+数词”含“以上”或“不止”之意,如: More than one person has made this suggestion. 不止一人提过这个建议. 3. “More than+形容词”等于“很”或“非常”的意思,如:In doing scientific experiments, one must be more than careful with the instruments. 4. more than + (that)从句,其基本意义是“超过(=over)”,但可译成“简直不”“远非”. 难以,完全不能(其后通常连用情态动词can) 1) That is more than I can understand . 那非我所能懂的.2) That is more than I can tell. 那事我实在不明白。 D:rather than 是一个并列连词,用法比较复杂,现归纳如下: 1. rather than 与would 连用时,构成“would rather...than...”句式,意思是“宁愿……而不愿……”,表示主观愿望,即在两者之中选择其一。例如: She'd rather die than lose the children. 她宁愿死也不愿失去孩子们。 2. rather than 不与would连用时,表示客观事实,意为“是……而不是……;与其……不如……”。,连接两个名词或代词 He is an explorer rather than a sailor. 与其说他是一个海员,不如说他是一个探险者。You rather than I are going to go camping. 是你而不是我要去要野营。 注意:rather than 连接两个名词或代词作主语时,谓语动词应与rather than 前面的名词或代词在人称和数上保持一致。由句意可知选D。
