题目内容
7.___ your generous help,I do believe I have a better understanding of your country and culture.( )A. | But for | B. | Out of | C. | Thanks to | D. | As to |
分析 由于你慷慨的帮助,我相信我对你的国家和文化有了更好的理解.
解答 答案:C.
考查介词短语.因为I do believe I have a better understanding of your country and culture表示"我相信我对你的国家和文化有了更好的理解",所以前半句应该表示原因和感谢,所以用Thanks to表示"幸亏,由于".全体其他选项的汉语分别是A表示"要不是",主句中使用虚拟语气;B虽然也可以表示"由于",但是没有感谢之意,是中性词,与本句不符;D表示"关于".
