问题 Nowadays it is not uncommon for a big, strong schoolboy to elbow an elderly woman aside in the dash for the last remaining seat on the bus or tube,______stand up and offer his seat to her.

选项 A、much less
B、not to mention
C、not to say
D、rather than

答案A

解析 much less在此处的意思是“更不用说”,用于否定(或带有否定意义的)句后,继前面的否定对相关的某另一件事或情况做更强有力的否定。如此句:“一个高大强壮的学生用胳膊肘将年迈的妇女推开,冲抢地铁或公共汽车上最后一个空位,这种情况当今并不少见,更不用说站起来让座了。”not to mention虽有同义,但结构上要求接名词或名词短语,not to say与not to mention形式相似而意义全然不同,其意为:“虽不能说”,如:He is very frugal,not to say stingy.虽不能说吝啬,但他也非常节俭。rather than“而不是”,在意义上虽然讲得通,但在结构上此句要求用不定式,与to elbow一致。Still less可与much less交替使用。
