题目内容
5.What our parents expect from us is going home and greeting them frequently,____giving the mmuch money.( )A. | less than | B. | rather than | C. | as well as | D. | as much as |
分析 父母所期待的是希望我们经常回家问候他们,而不是给他们很多钱.
解答 答案B.less than少于,修饰名词时做形容词,修饰动词和形容词时是副词;rather than而不是,是并列连词;as well as和,也,是并列连词;as much as和…一样多,是并列连词.rather than 是一个并列连词.rather than 不与would连用时,表示客观事实,意为"而不是…",它连接的并列成分可以是名词、代词、形容词、介词(短语)、动名词、分句、不定式、动词等,而在本句中连接的是两个并列的动名词短语.句子所表达的意思"…是希望经常回家问候他们,而不是…",故答案选B.
点评 本题考查并列连词.并列连词是构成英语并列句的桥梁,英语中两个或两个以上的互不依从的对等句子通常都是通过并列连词来体现的.
