问题
完形填空
He went to America to improve his English _________ to make money, according to his parents.
A.other than
B.more than
C.rather than
D.better than
答案
答案:C
题目分析:句意:按照他的父母的说法他去美国目的是提高他的英语水平而不是挣钱。other than除了,不同于;more than多于;rather than而不是;better than好于。根据句意故选C。
点评:本题难度适中。固定短语的考查是近几年高考的热点,不仅在单选里,还出现在完形短文改错中。需要考生平时牢记它们的用法及意义。这里主要考查的是含有than的短语,考生容易把它们的意义弄混了。
即学即练:He has no friend _________ you.
A. other than B. more than C. rather than D. better than
解析:A。句意:他除你之外就没有别的朋友了。
