问题     My new pet was the most【C1】________ bird to look at, with his horrible yellow 【C2】________ pushing through the wrinkled scarlet skin typical of baby pigeons.【C3】________ his repulsive and obese appearance Larry suggested we【C4】________ him Quasimodo.
    Because of his unorthodox upbringing, and the fact【C5】________ he had no parents to teach him the facts of life, Quasimodo became【C6】________ that he was not a bird
【C7】________ and refused to fly.【C8】________ he walked everywhere. If he wanted to get on to a table, or a chair, he stood below it,【C9】________ until someone lifted him up. He was always eager to join us in【C10】________ we did, and would even try to come for walks with us. This, however, we had to stop, for either you carried him on your shoulder, which was【C11】________ an accident to your clothes, or you let him walk【C12】________ . Then you had to【C13】________ your pace to suit his,【C14】________ you get too far ahead you would hear the most frantic and【C15】________ coos.
    Quasimodo【C16】________ on sleeping in the house: nothing could【C17】________ him to sleep in the pigeon-loft I had made for him. Then Larry discovered that Quasimodo was a musical pigeon. Not only did he like music, but he【C18】________ seemed to recognize two different【C19】________ , the waltz and the military march. For a waltz he would move round and round the gramophone, bowing and twisting, while for a march, he would stamp【C20】________ the room, his voice becoming so rich that he seemed in danger of strangling himself.

选项 A、Due to
B、Thanks to
C、Owing to
D、But for
答案 C
解析 本题考点为近义词及其用法辨析。A选项due to意为“因为，归功于”；B选项thanks to意为“多亏，由于”；C选项owing to意为“由于，幸亏”；D选项but for意为“要不是”。根据上下文，首先可排除D选项。due to，thanks to和owing to都有“因为，由于”之意，但thanks to突出感激之情，含“多亏”的意味，也可排除。在传统语法中，due to用于较庄重的书面语，侧重“起因于(used to introduce the reason for something happening)”，在句中多作表语；owing to强调because of or on account of，在句中多作状语。本题陈述静态原因，非所发生的事件的起因，因此，C选项更恰当。本句大意为：因其外表令人厌恶且体态肥胖，拉里提议我们给它取名叫加西莫多(《巴黎圣母院》中的一个人物，相貌丑陋)。
