选项 A、Since
B、However
C、Because
D、Due to
答案C
解析 逻辑衔接题。从结构上分析，本句应为主从复合句，主句大意为：《自然》和《科学》杂志收到的投稿越来越多，从句提到"这两大杂志受注目的程度更高"，由句意判断，主从句为因果关系，因此选Because，引导原因状语从句，表示直接原因。Since虽然也有表示"因为"的含义，但语气较弱，多含有"既然"的含义，如：Since you’re not interested，I won’t tell you about it．既然你不感兴趣，那我就不告诉你了；However意为"然而，可是"；due to意为"由于，应归于"，但为介词短语，不可引导从句。
