选项 A、rather than
B、more than
C、less than
D、other than

答案 B

解析 短语辨析题。[A]rather than“与其……倒不如,不是……而是”,例如:Itis a telex rather than a letter.(与其说它是一封信,不如说它是一封电传。)[B]more than“超过,多于”,例如:She wishes to be treated as nothing more than acommon girl.(她只不过希望被像一般的女孩子一般对待。)[C]less than“少于,不到”,例如:We shan’t let our house go for less than $50,000.[D]other than“不同于,除了”,例如:The tall figure that you saw was none other than our manager.(你所见到的那位身材魁梧的先生不是别人正是我们的经理。)原文的意思是生活方式涵盖了服装和发型,比后者意义要广,故选择[B]more than。
