高考真題
1.(2011·全國Ⅱ)It is one thing to enjoy listening to good music, but it is ________ another to play it well yourself.
A. quite
B. very
C. rather
D. much
[解析]句意:喜歡聽好的音樂是一回事,但要自己演奏好它又是另外一回事。quite 完全,強調在某方面十分突出,作此用法時,quite 常與名詞連用。another 其實就是 another thing 的省略。very 非常,修飾形容詞或副詞;rather 修飾形容詞、副詞或帶不定冠詞的名詞;much 修飾不可數名詞,在此不符合題意。
[答案]A
