单选题
Poor as he was, he was ______ making profits at the expense of others.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】above此处的意思是too good (honest or proud) to do,表示品质、行为能力等“超出……之外”,如:He is above stealing. 他不会干偷东西的事。a man above vulgar interests“一个脱离了低级趣味的人”。We must not be above asking questions about things we don't understand.不懂的事情不要怕提出来问。习惯上其他几个介词不能用于这个意义。
