选项
A、perfect
B、notorious
C、superior
D、thorough
答案
D
解析
此题属于语意搭配题。选项thorough表示"彻底的,完全的,纯正的",可与more构成比较级,因此是正确答案。选项perfect表示"完美的",没有比较级和最高级形式;选项notorious表不"臭名昭著的",例如:a notorious thief(声名狼藉的窃贼),此选项与上下文内容相悖;选项superior表示"比…好,优越",已含有比较级含义,但不能与more连用,通常用法是A is superior to B,例如:This TV set is superior to that one in quality.(这台电视机比那台的质量要好)。全句可译为:北部人往往声称他们比南部人更勤奋,因而是更纯粹的英国人。
