Question

______________he is not very rich,he often gives his money to the poor people.

A. But    B. When    C. Because    D. Although

Answer

D

【解析】句意：虽然他不是很富裕，但是他经常把钱送给穷人。A. But但是； B. When当……的时候；C. Because因为；D. Although尽管。结合句意可知，前后句表示转折关系，although与but不能同时出现，可以在前一个句子的句首用although，也可以在第二个句子的句首用but，故答案选D。

点睛：1.because 习惯上不与 so 连用。汉语习惯上说“因为…所以…”，但英语习惯上却不能将so与because 连用：

因为下雨，所以我们呆在家里。 误：Because it was raining, so we stayed at home.

正：Because it was raining, we stayed at home. 正：It was raining, so we stayed at home.

(al)though 习惯上不与 but 连用。汉语中可说“虽然…但是…”， 但按英语习惯，通常不能说although…but?或though…but：

虽然很危险，但我要试试。 误：Although it is dangerous, but I will try.

正：Although it is dangerous, I will try. 正：It is dangerous, but I will try.
