题目内容
20．Some government officials in the USA have pointed out that the death of Osama Bin Laden means keen vigilance （警戒） _____ the end of terrorism．（ ）| A． | more than | B． | better than | C． | other than | D． | rather than |
分析 在美国的一些政府官员指出奥萨马•本•拉登的死意味着高度的警惕而不是恐怖主义的结束．
解答 答案：D．根据keen vigilance （高度的警惕）和the end of terrorism（恐怖主义的结束）可以知道这两者是转折关系，所以选择D rather than译为"而不是"．其他选项与句义不符，A译为"不仅仅"；B译为"比…更好"；C译为"除了"．
点评 考查连词短语．
rather than than用作连词，连接两个平行结构．既可以表示主观愿望上的决择，"与其…宁可…"，也可以表示客观程度上的差异，"与其说是…不如说是…"…
