参考答案及详解
1.B 2.C。否定句中并列相同成分通常用or,排除A和B项。第二个句子中的两个分句具有逻辑上的转折意义,所以用but。
3.D。but表示转折意义。
4.C。当or表示“如果不然”之意时,与or else,otherwise通用;这里or表示选择,连接两个并列的一般疑问句,不能与otherwise通用。
5.D。从句子结构和意义看,该题是一个并列句,而不是一个具有主从关系的复合句,所以排除A、B、C项。while在这里是并列连词,意为“而”,表示对照关系。
6.D。解答此题的关键信息是句中的“and”。“and”连接两个并列的分句,也就是“and ”前应该是一个完整的句子。四个选项中只有D填入空格后可以构成一个正确的祈使句。
7.C。根据前后两个分句的句意判断,两个分句之间存在转折关系,A项so表示因果关系,B项and表示并列关系,二者很容易排除。C项but和D项yet都表示转折,但含义有区别。yet含有“在尽可能地做出让步后仍未出现预期结果”的意味,其前可与and或but连用,例如:It’s strange,(and) yet it’s true.这事虽然奇怪,但却是真的。It was a fine day,(but) yet I didn’t want to go out.but则是表示转折的最普通的用语,其前不可与and连用,例如:Tom was not here,but his brother Dick was.根据句意,最佳答案应选C。
