Question

What we expect from you is working hardhardly working.

A. less than            B. rather than

C. as well as           D. as much as

Answer

B

【解析】

试题分析：句意：-我们希望你努力工作，而不是几乎不工作。四个选项的含义分别是:A less than少于，B. rather than而不是，C as well as和…一样好，除了，不但…而且，D as much as多达。所以选B。

考点：考查短语辨析

【名师点睛】本题考查的是短语辨析。rather than 构成的句型结构: prefer to do ... rather than do ... ； would do ... rather than do… ；would rather do sth. than do ... ；宁可做……而不愿意做I prefer to get up early rather than go to school without breakfast.我宁可早起也不愿意不吃饭上学. I would die rather than disgrace myself.我宁死不屈. He would rather paint the wall on his own than have the painter do it. 他宁愿自己刷这墙也不愿意请油漆工刷.本题中意为“我们希望你努力工作，而不是几乎不工作”，不难选出正确答案。
