题目内容
5.His humorous closing speech was a welcome addition to the ______dull meeting.( )A. | therefore | B. | meanwhile | C. | otherwise | D. | thus |
分析 他幽默的结束语在这次其它方面的都很沉闷的会议上受到了欢迎
解答 答案:C.根据His humorous closing speech 和dull meeting可知两者之间是转折关系,即他结束语是幽默的,而会议的其它方面是沉闷的,所以选择C otherwise表示"其他方面",其他选项的含义分别是A"因此";B"同时";D"因此,如此".
点评 考查并列连词.Otherwise的用法
用作连词,意为"否则""要不然",其后的句子根据情况可用陈述语气或虚拟语气.如:
Take a taxi,otherwise you'll miss your train.你如不叫出租汽车,你就会误掉火车的.
He worked very hard,otherwise he would have failed.当初他学习非常刻苦,要不然他就会不及格了.
在口语中,用作连词的otherwise通常用or代替.
