Question

________ three times，but she still couldn’t follow what the old man said．

A．Having told	B．Having been told
C．She had been told	D．Though she had been told

Answer 1

C

試題分析：因為逗號后是句子，并有連詞but，所以前面的句子不用連詞，故排除D；又因為but是并列連詞，所以它的前面也是一個句子，故排除AB，應選C。
點評：本題難度適中。But可連接詞、短語和句子，還可用于道歉的表達之后；用在某些否定語后，表示“只……”：
He eats nothing but hamburgers. 他只吃漢堡包。
She knows no one but you. 她只認識你。
You have nobody but yourself to blame. 只能怪你自己。
No one but me saw her. 只有我看見他。
7. 用于next (last) but one 中，表示“隔壁再過去”“倒數第……”
He lives in the next house but one. 他住在隔壁再過去一家。
He was the last but one to arrive. 他是倒數第二個到的。
8. can’t help but 不由得不……
You can’t help but respect them. 你不由得不尊敬他們。
When they gave him a ticket to the game, he couldn’t help but go. 他們給了他一張看球賽的票，他不由得不去。
I can’t help but wonder what I should do next. 我不由得不想知道下一步該怎么辦。
即學即練：Excuse me, _____I don’t think that’s quite true.
A．but          B．since      C．so              D．although
解析：A。句意：很抱歉，我認為這與事實略有出入。
