问题     Most people have no idea of the hard work and worry about going into collection of those fascinating birds and animals that 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, in order to【C7】______me up, would take me to the zoo. When I grow a little older, we lived in Greece and I had a great【C8】______of pets,【C9】______from owls to seahorses, 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 and ostriches,【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.

【C4】

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

答案B

解析 考查上下文逻辑。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”。Except,except for,but for的用法接近,表示“除了……”。例如:We go there every day except Sunday.  //He answered all the questions except for the last one.//For a year the dam remained complete but for the generators.  因此不论从意思上还是逻辑上判断,都应当选but。
