If English study is to contribute to your future competence ____

If English study is to contribute to your future competence ______, it should be learnt systematically.
A、more than showing up
B、rather than showing up
C、rather than to show up
D、more than to show up
【正确答案】：C
【题目解析】：根据前半句的is to contribute可知，空格该填动词不定式，因此可排除选项A和B；more than意为”超过“；rather than意为”而不是“。句意：如果英语学习是为了提高你未来的能力而不是为了展示自己，那就应该系统地学习。
