【C17】
选项 A、but for
B、let alone
C、regardless of
D、other than
答案B
解析 本题考查上下文语义。空格上文提到A项fairly small amount of red wine is now accepted as beneficial to the heart(少量红酒现在被认为有利于心脏)，下文提到its other encouraging properties其他令人振奋的品性)。空格处填入的短语应衔接上下文。首先排除A项和C项。A项but for意为“要不是”，主句常用虚拟语气。C项regardless of意为“不管，不顾，不理会”，显然不符合文意。D项other than常用在否定句中，相当于except，表示“除……之外”。B项let alone意为“更不用说”，表示一个追补的说法，是肯定还是否定意义随前一句而定。因此，文中应选择let alone，表示“更不用说其他的好处了”。
