Question

—Does Jim do his new job well？

　　 —______ his old job. How stupid！I fear there’s no hope for him.

　　A. No better than   B. Not better than   C. No so well as    D. No as well as

Answer 1

A

解析:

根据 How stupid！I fear there’s no hope for him 可知说话人对 Jim 新工作表现的评价是负面的，故选 A。no better than 表示“与……一样的不好，与……一样的差”之意。句意是：他做新工作与以前工作一样差。他太笨了，我担心他没什么希望了。
