Question

—Excuse me, is this Mr. Brown’s office?

—I’m sorry, but Mr. Brown __________works here. He left about 3 weeks ago.

A. not now　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  B. no more

C. not still　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    D. no longer

 

Answer 1

答案：D
提示：

本题考查短语辨析。no longer是副词短语，表示“时间上不再延续”，常放在be动词的后面，其他动词的前或后。no more是形容词短语，修饰名词，则表示“数量或程度上不再增加”；作副词短语时，要放在动词后面。如:You are no longer a child. /The old man stays in the village now; he no longer travels. /No more steam was seen rising from the wet clothes. /The ship sank below the waves, and was seen no more. 而not now与not still用在此处不符合语法规则。故答案为D。
