Question

There were many more people who got injured in the big fire than _______.

A. was reported        B. it was reported

C. were reported       D. they were reported

Answer 1

A

【解析】

试题分析：句意：在大火中有更多的人受伤比报道的。这是一个特殊的定语从句。than

以主语的形式出现在定语从句中，其实它的后面省略了what，than也就等于than what。也是就是…than what was reported， 故选A。

考点：考查定语从句的用法。

点评：本题难度适中。定语从句是英语语法中非常重要的内容，在阅读和理解过程中起着极其重要的作用。定语从句的考查关键在于定语从句的成分分析，需要考生有分析理解复杂的句子结构的能力。但是考查than引导的定语从句很少考到。

即学即练：Parents had better not give kids more money than _______.

A. is needed         B. it was needed

C. were needed       D. they were needed

解析：A。句意：父母最好别给孩子们太多的钱，够用就可以了。
