A.In spite of
B.But for
C.Because of
D.As for
【翻译】要不是因为英语考试,我昨晚就去听音乐会了。
[考点]虚拟语气

A.of disabled people to get
B.of disabled people getting
C.for disabled people to get
D.for disabled people getting
【翻译】身体健全的人真的很难理解残疾人找工作的困难。
[考点]固定用法
【精析】C 本题考查“It is+adj.+for/of sb. to do sth.”这一句型。如果形容词表示事物的特征,介词用for;如果形容词表示人的品质,介词用of。此处difficult表示事物的特征。故选C。
3. He told us the stories and the writers ____ interested him.
A.that
B.which
C.what
D.who
【翻译】他告诉我们他感兴趣的故事和作家们。
[考点]定语从句
【精析】A 分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句。从句成分不完整,缺少主语。在定语从句中,当先行词为两个或两个以上分别表示人和物的名词或代词时,关系代词应用that。本句中that指代stories和writers,在从句中作主语。故选A。

A.also
B.as much as
C.as well as
D.as well
【翻译】这本书不仅告诉我们作者的生平,还告诉我们作者的作品。
[考点]词义辨析
【精析】C as well as意为“也,和,还”,可以连接两个并列成分,其他选项均无此用法。as well与答案接近,容易混淆,其含义为“也”,相当于also,一般位于句末;as much as意为“与……一样多”。故选C。
