答案

1.答案：C.
2.翻译：是考试制度,而不是老师,应该为现今中学生如此大的压力负责/受到责备.
3.
1）此句为强调句型,强调的是句子的主语.正常的陈述句为：
(The test system rather than the teachers) is to be blame for the heavy burden of middle school students nowadays.
2）“A rather than B”意思是“是A而不是B”,即rather than引导的是两个并列的结构,它表示两者之间只能选择一个,即选择前者而不是后者.
如果rather than引导并列主语时,则句子的谓语动词的单复数形式必须采用就远原则,即和rather than前面的主语的数保持一致.
3）如果用more than来表示两者之间的选择,必须采用“more A than B”结构,其意思是“与其说是后者,不如说是前者”.它表示两者之间前者的因素更多,后者的因素更少,但并不是说完全没有.
所以,如果该句用more than来改写为：
More the test system than the teachers is to be blame for the heavy burden of middle school students nowadays.
4）最后,请楼主对比这两个句子在含义上的细微区别：
He is foolish rather than brave.他很愚蠢,而不是勇敢.
He is more foolish than brave.与其说他勇敢,不如说他愚蠢.
