●答案与解析●

1. D。“想去”与“太忙”是转折关系，用 but。

2. D。出发和到达是两个先后发生的动作，用 and 连接作并列谓语。用A表示同时发生，不对；选项 C 指“到达”在“出发”之前发生，不可能；B 表示目的，不合情理。

3. D。while 用以表示对比或相反的情况，意为“而、却”。

4. C。or 连接两个一般疑问句，表示选择，意为“还是”。

5. C。but 用在 Excuse me 或 I’m sorry 等后面，只起缓和语气的作用，通常不必译出。

6. C。or 表选择，意为“或者”。

7. C。while(而、却)表示转折。句意为：令他们吃惊的是，一个孩子居然能解决这个难题，而他们自己却不能。

8. D。but 表示转折。句意为：我的名字叫罗勃特，但我的大多数朋友都简称我为鲍勃。

9. C。此题依然是考查“祈使句+and/then/or+陈述句”这一句型，只是祈使句部分是用一个名词短语来表示的。

10. D。…was / were about to do sth…when… 是个常用句型，表示某人正要做某事，就在这时(突然)发生另外一件事。句意为：他正要告诉我这个秘密，这时，有人拍了拍他的肩膀。

11. D。cost quite a lot 和 save us money 在意义上有转折关系，用 but。句意是“改变这个城市的面貌要花很多钱，但从长远的观点看这些变化可以为我们省钱。”in the long run 是“从长远看、终究”之意。

12. D。“想去”与“出城去而不能参加宴会”是转折关系，用 but。

13. A。when表示在某动作发生的过程中，突然发生另外一动作，通常译为“这时(突然)”。
