（2006重庆，24）I've tried very hard to improve my English. But by no means ________ with my progress.

A.the teacher is not satisfied

B.is the teacher not satisfied

C.the teacher is satisfied

D.is the teacher satisfied

答案及解析： D

解析：

句意：我已经非常努力来提高英语水平了，但老师对我的进步一点儿也不满意。此题的关键是词组“by no means”。当否定的副词或词组位于句首时，全句需要倒装。如：Never in my life have I seen such a thing. Seldom have we felt as comfortable as here.类似的词还有little, nor, hardly, scarcely, no sooner等。
