Many of the things we now benefit from w...

Many of the things we now benefit from would not be around _______ Thomas Edison.

A. thanks to          B. regardless of

C. aside from          D. but for

 

D 【解析】 试题分析:句意:要不是爱迪生的发明,今天我们身边享用的很多东西都将不复存在。A项“多亏”,具有很强的迷惑性,如将题干改成“_______ Thomas Edison, now we can benefit from many of the things around us.”则选A项;B项“不管,不顾”;C项“除了”;D项“要不是”,常用于隐藏式(含蓄式)虚拟条件句。故选D项。 考点:介词短语辨析 【名师点睛】本题侧重考查在特定的语境中辨析介词短语的能力。但很容易发现,A、C两项都可以表示“因为”,但but for还可以用于虚拟语气。因此,考生除了要充分利用特定语境理解词义,还应注意多辨析意思相近的介词短语,重点关注他们用法上的区别。
