题目内容
Last night Mr. Crook didn’t come back at the usual time. ______，he met some friends and stayed out until midnight.
| A．Meanwhile | B．However | C．Instead | D．Thus |
C
解析试题分析：考查副词。A同时；B然而；C相反；D因此。however解释为“然而”，表示一种转折，说明后面陈述的内容与前面的内容相反。instead虽然也表示转折，但它的意思更侧重于“取而代之”这层意思。所以往往翻译成“相反地”。句意：昨晚，Crook先生没有在往常时间回家。相反地，他遇到了一些朋友，呆在外面直到午夜。故C正确。
考点：考查副词
