_________ all the barriers put in his way，David is very fortunate and always seems to land on his feet．（ ）
A. In terms of
B. In favor of
C. In spite of
D. In honor of
题目解答
答案
C. In spite of
解析
本题考查固定短语的用法，核心在于识别句子中的逻辑关系。主句"David is very fortunate and always seems to land on his feet"表达的是让步关系（尽管存在障碍，但结果顺利），因此需要选择一个表示让步的短语。其他选项均不符合句意。
选项分析
A. In terms of
- 意为“就…而言”，表示从某个角度讨论，与句中“克服障碍”的逻辑无关。
B. In favor of
- 意为“支持”，表示赞成某事物，与句中“遇到障碍”的语境矛盾。
C. In spite of
- 意为“尽管”，表示让步关系。句中“all the barriers”是让步内容，主句描述结果，符合逻辑。
D. In honor of
- 意为“为了纪念”，与句中“遇到障碍”的语境无关。
结论：只有C选项能正确连接让步与结果的关系。
