单选题
Tom is in favour of going to the movies, ______ Jack insists on playing football. A. while B. meanwhile C. when D. at the same time
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[解析] while=whereas“而”,并列连词,用于对比,表示“当……时而……;当……时却……”;while前后的两个分句是并列关系。可引导对比关系的最常用的连词是whereas,此外还有where,这三个连词都是谈论两个正在发生的或处于静止状态的相反的事物,如:Some praise him, whereas others condemn him. They want a house, where we would rather live in a flat. C项when也可引导对比关系,不过它不同于上面那三个连词,它用于表示某一事物现在所处的状态或“(正在……)而它本该……”,如:He walks when he might take a taxi. Why are you here when you should be in school?D项at the same time“尽管如此”,如:He did pass the test, but at the same time he didn't know the subject very well. meanwhile“与此同时;在……这段时间”,是副词。
