问题     Most people have no idea of the hard work and worry that go into the collecting of those fascinating birds and animals which they pay to see in the zoo. One of the questions that is always asked of me is【C1】______. I became an animal collector in the first【C2】______. The answer is that I have always been interested in animals and zoos. According to my parents, the first word I was able to say with any【C3】______was not the conventional"mamma"or"daddy",【C4】______the word"zoo", which I would【C5】______over and over again with a shrill【C6】______until someone, who quickly【C7】______me up, would take me to the zoo. When I【C8】______a little older, we lived in Greece and I had a great【C9】______of pets, ranging from owls to sea horses, and I spent all my spare time【C10】______the countryside in search of fresh specimens to【C11】______to my collection of-pets.  【C12】______  on I went for a year to the City Zoo, as a student【C13】______, to get experience  of the large animals, such as lions, bears, bison(美洲野牛) and ostriches(鸵鸟),【C14】______were not easy to keep at home. When I left, I【C15】______  had enough money of my own to be able to【C16】______my first trip and I have been going【C17】______ever since then. Though a collector’s job is not an easy one and is full of【C18】______, it is certainly a job which will appeal【C19】______all those who love animals and【C20】______.
【C4】

选项 A、except
B、but
C、except for
D、but for

答案B

解析 but在此处连接另一个句子:it was the word“zoo”。“it was”被省略,表示转折,意为“而是”,与except、except for的用法接近,表示“除了……以外”,but for表示“要不是,如果没有”,常用于虚拟语气,例如:“But for my brother’s help,I would not have finished.要不是我兄弟的帮助,我是无法完成的。从意思上和逻辑上,都应当选but。
