Unfortunately, bad weather this this year's has been canceled.
A. due to
B. despite
C. because
D. since
题目解答
答案
A. due to
解析
本题考查介词短语与原因状语从句的用法区别。关键点在于判断句子中需要连接的是名词短语还是从句,以及表达因果关系时的正确搭配。due to后可直接接名词短语,而其他选项需接从句或不符合语境。
选项分析
A. due to
固定搭配:due to后可直接接名词短语,表示“由于、因为”。例如:
The delay was due to heavy traffic.
本题中,bad weather是名词短语,符合due to的用法。
B. despite
用法:despite表示“尽管”,后接名词或动名词,表示让步关系。例如:
Despite the rain, the game continued.
但本题需要表达因果关系,而非让步,因此不符合题意。
C. because
用法:because后必须接从句(如because it rained),不能直接接名词短语。本题中bad weather是名词短语,因此语法错误。
D. since
用法:since表示“因为”时后接从句(如since it rained),或表示时间(如since last year)。本题中缺少从句,因此不符合。
