【答案解析】

1. D. 考查“祈使句/名词+and+陈述句”句型。句意为：“再努力点，你就会成功的”。

2. B. so(因此)是并列连词，引出一个表示结果的分句，前面应是一个表示原因的分句，而无需再用连词，排除A；C和D又不是句子，也错了。

3. D. 因为rather than是对称连词，意为“而不” (from www.hxen.net)。

4. A. 因为but是并列连词，后面是个句子，前面也一定是个句子，而不是一个分词短语或不定式短语，更不能再用连词though，所以排除B、C和D。

5. C. 考查“祈使句+and+陈述句”句型，意为“如果…就…”。虽然or也可用于此句型，但or是“否则、要不然”之意，如：Work hard, or you’ll fail. (努力学习，否则就会不及格。)

6. D. 因为not only…but (also)…是固定搭配(from www.hxen.net)。

7. D. 因为句中的并列连词for表示原因，是对前面分句所述内容的解释或补充说明。

8. A. 因为句中的并列连词while表示“对比或相反”。

9. B. 因为句中的并列连词when = just at that time, 意为“这时(突然)”。

10. D. 因为只有or才能表示选择，意为“(是…) 还是”。
