Question

My uncle knows several foreign languages, ________ English, French and Japanese.

A．for exampleB．for instanceC．such asD．that is

Answer

C

【解析】

试题分析：for example 和 for instance的区别很小，后面可以接句子也可以放名词，一般只以同类事物或人中的“一个”为例，作插入语，用逗号隔开，可置于句首、句中或句末。例如：There are many kinds of pollution, for example, noise is a kind of pollution.有许多种污染方式，例如噪音就是一种污染。such as也作为“例如”讲（=like），用来列举同类人或事物中的几个例子，不能用逗号将其与所举例子隔开，其后不接句子而只能接名词。例如：I have travelled many cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. that is(="namely/that" is to say/in other words)，意思是“换言之/也就是说/即”，用来进行具体的说明。例如：The railroad connects two cities, namely/that is, New York and Chicago.而该句中的“several foreign languages”可知，“English, French and Japanese”为不只一例的部分例举，故正确答案为C。

考点：考查近义词辨析。
