问题 单项选择题

The engineers are going through with their highway project, () the expenses have risen.

A. even though

B. just because

C. now that

D. as though

答案

参考答案:A

解析:

这是一个测试从属连词的试题,even though作“即使……也要……”阱,表示让步。如:Even though it is difficult, I’ll do it. 即使很难,我也要做。even though也可以换成even if,如:Even if we achieve great success in our work, we should remain modest. 即使我们的工作取得了很大成绩,我们也应该戒骄戒躁。just because作“正是因为”讲,now that作“既然……”讲,表示原因,前者比后者强调原因的语气强些。例如:You mustn’t suppose that she is satisfied just because she doesn’t complain. 你千万不要认为她不抱怨就是满意丁。Now that you’ve mentioned it, I do remember what he said yesterday.既然你提到了,我确实想起了他昨天说的事。as though也可换成as if,作“好像,似乎”讲,有时从句中谓语动词用虚拟形式。如:You talked as though (if) you were the boss. 你说起话来好像你就是老板。It looks as if (though) it were going to rain. 看上去好像要下雨。本句前后两部分是转折语气,因此应选even though,其他几项在语义上均不通。

     Can you think of a country without paper? British former Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, wanted to

change Britain into such a country. " Everyone in the country will be given his or her own website within

four years , " he said.

    After people have their own websites, they can do things on the Internet. For example, people can

"see" doctors on the Internet,and doctors can also answer them through the Internet; parents can learn

about their children' studies on the Internet. Also, teachers don't need to give them the report cards.

    This not only saves time,but also saves money. Many people won't need to go to their offices; they

can work at home. He also said that it would save billions of pounds a year. Most importantly, it is

especially good for the environment. The country will save a lot of paper if people do so many things

through the Internet. Saving paper can save a lot of trees.

If the plan is carried out, Britain will become the first country without paper. "I want Britain to be the

world leader in the digital economy. The digital company will create over 250, 000 jobs by2020,"

said Gordon Brown.
