选D 为什么？？？？？

Answer 1

–Is football John’s favourite sport?
--Yes. __________ football, baseball is his greatest love.
A. Near to B. Except C. Beside D. Next to
.选项是D。
next to除了，除……之外（beside用于包含了后面的内容。除了football，baseball也是他的最爱。也就是说，他的最爱包括了foofball。）
next to=besides，C项少了一个S。
except也是“除了”“除……之外”，但它不包括except后面的内容。如：
We went to see the film except Jim.除了Jim，我们都去了看电影。（这里We不包括Jim，也就是说Jim没有去看电影。）

追问

beside与besides的区别有哪些啊？
