Question

_______ small, the company has about 1000 buyers in over 30 countries.

A．Although

B．If

C．Once

D．As

Answer 1

A

解析试题分析：句意为：尽管公司小，但它在30多个国家有约1000家采购者。有前后两句话的意思可知应为转折关系，thought 虽然，尽管；if 如果；once 一旦，曾经；as当---时候，既然。故答案应为A。另外该题也是省略的用法，如果主语一致且含有谓动词be,那么主语和be可同时省略。原句应为：Although the company is small, the company has about 1000 buyers in over 30 countries.
考点: 考查连词及省略的用法。
