They had a wonderful holiday, ____________bad weather.
A.because of B.due toC.in spite of D.despite of
C

试题分析:一般说来,in spite of的语气较强,使用范围也较广; despite的语气较弱,多用于诗歌或正式的文体中。despite一般不与of连用。故选C。due to由于   because of由于   句意:尽管天气很糟糕,他们却度过了一个愉快的假期。
点评:本题出现的介词属于考纲中必须掌握的短语,首先理解意思,再注意用法,due to和because of.用法如下:due to“由于,因…造成”,引导的短语在句中除可作状语外,也可作表语或定语。有些讲英语的人仅将 due to 用于动词be之后作表语,但目前普遍认为可将due to看作是owing to的同义词。
Eg. Your failure is due to negligence.你的失败是由于疏忽所造成的。
due to除可表示原因外,还有“应给于,应属于”的意思。
Eg. Our grateful thanks are due to you.向你表示我们衷心的感谢
owing to 也可以作表语,但可以和 because of一样, 用于句首作状语.
thanks to “由于或因为某人(某事)”,通常用于好的方面,译为“多亏”,但有时作反语;引导的介词短语可置于句首或句末。
