问题补充:
Bob has a billion dollars while Kate has a million, so Kate is than Bob.
A. less rich
B. not richer
C. no rich
D. poorer
答案:
A. less rich
(答案→)B. not richer
C. no rich
D. poorer
解析:考查形容词用法:less rich than 用法是正确的。从句子意义上来看,Bob有十亿,Kate只有一百万,Bob当然没有Kate富,所以选A. B语法上虽没错,但选B意思是“Bob不比Kate富”,那Bob也有可能与Kate一样富或差不多”,实际上,Bob岂止是不比Kate富,他简直是比Kate差老远了。因此,选B就是词不达意。
