Question

【题目】 peer pressure has a stronger impact on teenagers than any amount of government intervention, it is not surprising that the government's efforts to fight against drug abuse will meet more resistance with younger consumers.

A.In thatB.Given thatC.On condition thatD.Although

Answer 1

【答案】B

【解析】

考查状语从句的引导词。句意：考虑到同辈压力对青少年的影响比任何数量的政府干预都要大，政府打击药物滥用的努力会遇到更多年轻消费者的抵制也就不足为奇了。A. In that由于，在于；B. Given that鉴于，考虑到。C. On condition that条件是......；D. Although虽然，然而。根据前后的语境可知，前面表达的是原因，后面是结果。“given that...”意为“考虑到....”引导原因状语从句。而in that引导原因状语从句时，一般不能置于句首。故选B。
