[答案与解析]

1. D。while为并列连词，表示意思转折，句意为“而，然而”。句意为“我喜欢弹钢琴而我女儿喜欢听音乐。”又如：You like tennis, while I'd rather read. 你爱打网球，但我爱看书。

2. D。句意为“他们的帐篷虽然像羽毛一样轻，但在昨晚的暴风雨中却很牢固。” though意为“虽然, 尽管”，表转折。

3. A。本题是考查“祈使句+ and / or +简单句”中的连词。前面的祈使句相当于以if引导的条件状语从句，如果条件与结果并存，用and；如果条件与结果不并存，用or。根据句意“早五分钟的话，我们就能够赶上最后一班火车了。”

4. D。not…but 意为“不是┅而是┅”；neither…nor意为“既不┅也不┅”；not only…but also意为“不但┅而且┅”；whether…or意为“不论┅还是┅”。根据句意“不论你来还是留在家中，我都要去。”答案为D。

5. D。when用于句中，意为“这时,就在那个时候”。句意为“大使的妻子继续问了好多问题,突然她发现丈夫帽子上有个洞。”

6. C。名词词组用作连词。英语中如the moment, the minute, the first time, every time等可用来连接句子，起连词的作用，相当于as soon as。根据问句“你记得把书给詹妮了吗？”和答语中“我确定”，可知是谈论过去的事情。故答案为C。句意为“我一看见她就给她了。”

7. D。表示连接关系连词，肯定句用and, 否定句用or。因此第一空用or; 第二空表意思转折，用but。句意为“我不喜欢茶或咖啡。”“我喜欢茶，但我不喜欢咖啡。”

8. D。thus 意为“因此”；furthermore意为“而且”；otherwise意为“否则”；nevertheless，连词，意为“然而, 不过”。根据句意“她虽然很疲倦，可仍在继续工作。”可知D为答案。

9. A。连词but用来表示转话题。句意为“关于那件事我一会儿全都告诉你，还是先让我们听听你的中国之行吧。”

10. C。for是并列连词，它引导的分句只能放在另一分句之后，而且必须用逗号与前面分句隔开，它常用于补充说明理由或提供一种解释。句意为“我喜欢去，因为女主人对我一向特别好。”

11. D。用but表意思转折，句意为“汤米通过了汽车驾驶执照考试，但詹妮没有。”

12. B。连词therefore表示原因。句意为“我们的钱不够,因此买不成这辆新车。”

13. B。句意为“我不知道把书丢在哪儿了。不是落在学校，就是丢到公共汽车上了。” either…or…表示选择关系，意为“或者┅ 或者┅；不是┅就是┅”。

14. C。本题考查并列连词or表选择关系，意为“或，还”。句意为“我明天可能去看你，或明天晚些时候给你打电话。”

15. A。as well as 意为“也，又”，用于句中，连接并列成分，as well用于句末。句意为“逢星期天，女房东出早饭外还供应他正餐。”
