Question

_______ economic, political and cultural differences, it is difficult for China and America to fully understand each other.

A. In spite of　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. Regardless of

C. On account of　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. In favor of　　

Answer 1

解析：選C�？疾榻樵~短語辨析。in spite of 側(cè)重轉(zhuǎn)折，意為“盡管”；regardless of表示“不管, 不顧”，側(cè)重不計后果；on account of表示原因；in favor of表示“贊成, 支持”，結(jié)合前后邏輯，此處使用on account of。

獨具【方法技巧】表示原因的介詞短語歸納

1) because of: 表示實際原因(表達(dá)一種較強的因果關(guān)系)

2) on account of: 常用來引述邏輯、理性和事實因素

3) out of + 抽象名詞: 常用來引述心理、情感因素, 如out of one’s own will (出于自愿)

4) owing / due to: 著重把原因歸于某事物, 既可作狀語又可作定語, due to還可以作后置定語。例如: Mistakes due to carelessness may cause serious consequences.

由于粗心犯的錯誤也許會造成嚴(yán)重的后果。

5) thanks to: 后面通常接表示積極意義的原因, 意為“多虧, 幸虧，由于”。例句:

He walked slowly because of his bad leg.

他腿不好, 所以走得很慢。
