问题     My new pet was the most【C1】________ bird to look at, with his horrible yellow 【C2】________ pushing through the wrinkled scarlet skin typical of baby pigeons.【C3】________ his repulsive and obese appearance Larry suggested we【C4】________ him Quasimodo.
    Because of his unorthodox upbringing, and the fact【C5】________ he had no parents to teach him the facts of life, Quasimodo became【C6】________ that he was not a bird
【C7】________ and refused to fly.【C8】________ he walked everywhere. If he wanted to get on to a table, or a chair, he stood below it,【C9】________ until someone lifted him up. He was always eager to join us in【C10】________ we did, and would even try to come for walks with us. This, however, we had to stop, for either you carried him on your shoulder, which was【C11】________ an accident to your clothes, or you let him walk【C12】________ . Then you had to【C13】________ your pace to suit his,【C14】________ you get too far ahead you would hear the most frantic and【C15】________ coos.
    Quasimodo【C16】________ on sleeping in the house: nothing could【C17】________ him to sleep in the pigeon-loft I had made for him. Then Larry discovered that Quasimodo was a musical pigeon. Not only did he like music, but he【C18】________ seemed to recognize two different【C19】________ , the waltz and the military march. For a waltz he would move round and round the gramophone, bowing and twisting, while for a march, he would stamp【C20】________ the room, his voice becoming so rich that he seemed in danger of strangling himself.
【C3】
选项 A、Due to
B、Thanks to
C、Owing to
D、But for
答案C
解析 本题考点为近义词及其用法辨析。A选项due to意为“因为，归功于”；B选项thanks to意为“多亏，由于”；C选项owing to意为“由于，幸亏”；D选项but for意为“要不是”。根据上下文，首先可排除D选项。due to，thanks to和owing to都有“因为，由于”之意，但thanks to突出感激之情，含“多亏”的意味，也可排除。在传统语法中，due to用于较庄重的书面语，侧重“起因于(used to introduce the reason for something happening)”，在句中多作表语；owing to强调because of or on account of，在句中多作状语。本题陈述静态原因，非所发生的事件的起因，因此，C选项更恰当。本句大意为：因其外表令人厌恶且体态肥胖，拉里提议我们给它取名叫加西莫多(《巴黎圣母院》中的一个人物，相貌丑陋)。
