Question

For large producers, _______ they lost some pigs to the disease, prices are so high now that they are still earning much more than before.

A.in that B.in case C.even if D.as if

Answer

C

【解析】

考查状语从句的从属连词。句意：对于大型养猪户来说，即使他们因为猪瘟损失了一些猪，但价格是如此之高，以至于他们仍然比以前赚得多。A. in that因为，由于，既然；B. in case以防万一；C. even if即使，尽管；D. as if似乎，好像。前一句说“they lost some pigs”，后一句说“they are still earning much more than before”，前后两个句子之间语义转折，因此用even if引导让步状语从句。故选C项。
