Question

【题目】________ Mr Brown has got a bad cold，he doesn't want to take the afternoon off.

A. Before B. Because

C. Since D. Although

Answer 1

【答案】D

【解析】句意：虽然Brown先生感冒了，他下午不想请假。before在…之前，引导时间状语从句；because因为，引导原因状语从句；since自从；although虽然，尽管，引导让步状语从句。根据句意可知，这两句话之间是转折的关系，这里应用although引导让步状语从句，故选D。
