Question

He was ______ determined than you, but he turned out to be the first to back out.

A．no more

B．not more

C．no less

D．not less

Answer 1

C

此题考查比较级的使用。“not more(less)…than”和“no more(less)…than”有不同的含义，前者为一般意义上的比较级，意为“不多(少)于…”，而后者却另有含义：“no more than．．．”意在言其少，而“no less than．．．”意在言其多。解题关键在于对有转折意义的连接词but的理解，与“他第一个放弃”相对，他应“决心最大”，有此意义的只有[C]项。
