Question

To tell you the truth, I think it is you, ________Mr. Smith, ________.

A．less than; which are to be blamed	B．rather than; that are to blame
C．other than; that is to blame	D．more than; who is to blame

Answer 1

B

试题分析：句意：说实话，我认为是你而不是史密斯先生该受责备。less than少于；rather than 而不是；other than除了；more than 多于，不仅仅。此句还考查了强调句型，that 与前面的it is相呼应。被强调部分you, rather than Mr. Smith是原句中的主语，即原句为：You, rather than Mr. Smith are to blame.当句子的主语部分由rather than, together with, as well as, besides, but, except等连接时，谓语动词由前面的主语决定。
