Question

The reason  　　being late for the meeting was   　 his little son fell ill this morning.

A．for, that

B．why, that

C．for, because

D．why, because

Answer 1

A

試題分析：考查介詞用法和表語從句，the reason與介詞for連用，for后面接動名詞的形式。第二空是由that引導的表語從句，句意：他會議遲到的原因是他的小兒子今天上午突然生病了。故A正確。注意沒有The reason is because…的句式。
點評：The reason只能與because連用，形成表語從句。要注意名詞性從句的引導詞的使用，連接詞that, whether, if在句中不充當任何成分，只起連接作用；連接代詞who(ever), which(ever), whom(ever),whose(ever),what(ever)在句中做主語，賓語，表語和定語；連接副詞when, why, where, how，在句中做狀語。應從上下句的句法關系著手分析。
