Finding out which college suits you involves time and energy, but 25 more than those you might spend on buying a motorcycle or a computer.
答案：(A) no
【句型】no more than 字詞搭配「不超過/僅僅」，表示花費的時間精力不會比買摩托車或電腦更多，暗示選大學值得投入類似的時間精力；all／some／any 都不能這樣構成 no more than 的比較否定意涵。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率，以下不談數據，只談觀念。
四個選項都是很短的限定詞，而空格後面是 more than，你可能會想「不就是比較嗎」而隨手挑一個。這一格考的是一個固定說法。
先把整句讀完：Finding out which college suits you involves time and energy, but ___ more than those you might spend on buying a motorcycle or a computer.（找出哪一所大學適合你確實要花時間與精力，但……比你買一台機車或一台電腦所花的更多。）關鍵在 but——前半承認「要花時間精力」，後半用 but 一轉，要說的是「但也沒有多到哪裡去」，固定說法是 no more than（不過就是、僅僅），填 no。no more than 的語氣是「就只有這麼多、沒什麼了不起」，正好接得住作者鼓勵讀者花點心思選大學的口吻——既然買機車都願意花這些工夫，選大學當然值得。順便對照 88 年第 24 題收過的 no fewer than（多達），兩者結構相同、方向相反：no more than 是往下壓（才不過），no fewer than 是往上抬（多達）。
all、some、any：三個都不與 more than 組成通行的說法；而且填進去都無法表達 but 所要求的那個轉折語氣。
no more than（不過就是、僅僅）、no fewer than（多達）、no less than（多達、不亞於）、spend time on sth（在某事上花時間）、involve（需要、牽涉）、find out（找出）。
