单选题 We in the West acknowledge that Mao was ______ purely of Chinese significance ______ Marx was purely of German or Lenin of Russian significance.
A. as…as B. less… than
C. not more… than D. no more… than

【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] A is no more…than B is=A is not…any more than B is=A is not…just as B is not正如B不是……一样，A也不是；A和B都不是。在这个句式中，than左右两边都是否定的意思，这种表达法是为加强than前面主句的否定意义而用的。than从句在形式上是肯定形式，其含义是否定的，又如：I can no more fly than you can(fly)=I cannot fly any more than you I can=I cannot fly just as you cannot fly．
