Question

The room,where there are _____ one bed,is almost empty.
A.not more than B.no more than C.not less than D.no less than
这个问题有人提过,但是我不太满意那个答案,因为没看懂.
另外 老师让我们把are变为is来选,也就是
The room,where there is _____ one bed,is almost empty.
这样又选什么呢?
最近我和英语真是杠上了.

Answer 1

选C
这里判断的是非限制性定语从句中的单数复数,我们知道,there be句型中,be动词单数或复数是跟be动词后的名词（句子的主语）要一致.
因为谓语动词是are,所以肯定主语不是一张床,这样,A和B就排除了
A.not more than 不如,最多 B.no more than 仅仅,只有
C和D的区别是：
no less than：竟达...之多,一般后面跟数字,如：
The hotel probably costs no less than 20 dallars.那个酒店的住宿费大概要20元一晚呢.
The audience was no less than five thousand. 听众竟有5000人之多.
not less than：不比...少；至少.如：
I'll stay here not less than three days.
The room,where there are _not less than_ one bed,is almost empty.
那间房间有不止一张床,几乎空着.
假如谓语动词是is,那就相应的主语要用单数了,所以就不能用not less than,我觉得用no more than 和not more than在语法上都可以,只是意思不一样.
The room,where there is _not more than_ one bed,is almost empty.
那个房间不超过一张床,几乎空着.（不包含感情色彩,只是陈述）
The room,where there is _no more than_ one bed,is almost empty.
那个房间只有一张床,一直空着.（有嫌床少的意思）
