Question

You can’t judge a book by its cover, ____________.     

A. as the saying goes old           B. goes as the old saying

C. as the old saying goes           D. goes as old the saying

Answer

C

【解析】    

试题分析: 句意：正如俗语所说，不要以貌取人。此句是as引导的状语从句，后面应该用陈述语序，形容词修饰名词放在名词前面，所以old应该在saying之前，答案选C。as在这儿有“像，依照，正如，与......一样”之意, 作从属连词用。比如：As the saying goes（that） the early bird catches the worm 谚语说, 早起的鸟有食吃。 “More haste, less speed”, as the saying goes. 常言道，“欲速则不达”。

考点：考查固定句式。
