---All the teachers went on a trip to Hainan yesterday Mr. White. Why?---Because he was too busy a new novel to travel. A．except; writing B．besides; writing C．except for; to write D．beside; to write

Answer 1

A

试题分析：except是“除…之外，都”而besides是“除…之外，还有”。根据题干，本句的意思是“除了怀特先生之外，所有的老师昨天都去海南旅行了。”故用except，排除BD；根据busy后面跟doing的用法，排除C。所以本题选A。 点评：对于本题需要正确区分except和besides的用法，这两个词是很容易混的；另外be busy doing表示“忙于做某事”。
