中单选题Though he started late, Mr. Smith played the piano as well as, if better than not, Miss Liu.
A.not better than
B.not better
C.no better than
D.no better
参考答案:A
答案解析:这句话的意思是:虽然史密斯先生学钢琴学得晚,可是他弹得即使不比刘小姐更好,也至少和她一样好。因为有Miss Liu作宾语,than不可以省略,所以排除B和D。no better than表示“两者都不好、半斤对八两”,本题提史密斯先生弹得不错,故排除C。not better than表示“不比……更好”,故选择A。
