Answer 1

D

试题分析：句意：她把她的钱花在书上而不是在衣服上了。A：spends money on sth 在……上花钱；B：instead  1. 替代 He is too busy, let me go instead.他太忙了,让我去吧。 2. 反而,却Instead of disturbing her, the news had a strangely calming effect.这消息非但没有令她不安,反而产生了一种奇怪的镇定效果。C：1. “More than+名词”表示“不仅仅是” e.g. We need more than material wealth to build our country.建设我们国家，不仅仅需要物质财富. 2. “More than+数词”含“以上”或“不止”之意，如： More than one person has made this suggestion. 不止一人提过这个建议.  3. “More than+形容词”等于“很”或“非常”的意思，如：In doing scientific experiments, one must be more than careful with the instruments.  4. more than + (that)从句，其基本意义是“超过（=over）”，但可译成“简直不”“远非”.　难以，完全不能（其后通常连用情态动词can） 1) That is more than I can understand . 那非我所能懂的.2) That is more than I can tell. 那事我实在不明白。  D：rather than 是一个并列连词，用法比较复杂，现归纳如下： 1. rather than 与would 连用时，构成“would rather...than...”句式，意思是“宁愿……而不愿……”，表示主观愿望，即在两者之中选择其一。例如： She'd rather die than lose the children. 她宁愿死也不愿失去孩子们。 2. rather than 不与would连用时，表示客观事实，意为“是……而不是……；与其……不如……”。，连接两个名词或代词 He is an explorer rather than a sailor. 与其说他是一个海员，不如说他是一个探险者。You rather than I are going to go camping. 是你而不是我要去要野营。 注意：rather than 连接两个名词或代词作主语时，谓语动词应与rather than 前面的名词或代词在人称和数上保持一致。由句意可知选D。
