Matthew said he and his sister make a good team,_____ the fact that they sometimes argue.
A. despite
B. regardless
C. even
D. in addition
题目解答
答案
A. despite
解析
本题考查让步状语从句的介词用法。关键点在于识别句子中需要表达让步关系,并正确选择与the fact that搭配的介词。Despite在此处表示“尽管,虽然”,常用于引导让步状语,符合题干中“团队合作好”与“有时争吵”之间的对比关系。
选项分析
- A. despite:意为“尽管”,后接名词或名词性从句,表示让步。例如:Despite the rain, we enjoyed the picnic.
- B. regardless:通常与of搭配(regardless of),表示“不管”,但题干中缺少of,结构不完整。
- C. even:需与if连用(even if),但题干中无if,且无法直接修饰名词性从句。
- D. in addition:意为“此外”,表示补充,与题干中“有时争吵”这一让步关系不符。
结构匹配
题干中空格后为the fact that they sometimes argue(名词性从句),需用despite直接修饰,构成固定搭配despite the fact that...,表示“尽管……”。
