问题                             The White House
    We got up early this morning and【C1】______a long walk after breakfast. We walked through the business section of the city. I told you yesterday that the city was larger【C2】______I thought it would be. 【C3】______the business section is smaller than I thought it would be. I suppose that’s【C4】______Washington is a special kind of city. 【C5】______the people in Washington work for the government. About 9:30 we went to the White House. It’s【C6】______to the public from 10 till 12, and there was a long line of people waiting to get in. We didn’t have to wait very long, because the line moved【C7】______quickly.
    The White House is really white. It is painted every year. And it seems very white, because it’s got beautiful lawns all around it, 【C8】______many trees and shrubs. The grounds【C9】______about four square blocks. I mean, they’re about two blocks long【C10】______each side. The part【C11】______the President lives and works is not open to the public. But the part we saw was beautiful. We went through five of the main rooms. One of them was the library, on the ground floor. On the next floor, there are three rooms named【C12】______the colors that are used in them: the Red Room, the Blue Room and the Green Room. The walls are covered with silk【C13】______. There are【C14】______old furniture, from the time【C15】______the White House was first built. And everywhere there are paintings and statues of former presidents and other famous people from history.
【C4】

选项 A、since
B、as
C、because
D、because of

答案C

解析 四个备选答案都可表示原因,看原文:空白后是一从句,因此空白处需要引导从句的连词,而初步来说A、B和C在语法上都合适。再仔细比较这三个选项:since和as引导的表原因的从句往往有一逗号与主句分开,而because的语气很强,其引导的从句不与主句分开。故C为正确答案。
