问题 In the face of the sharp drop in sales, the marketing manager passed it with a shrug, saying that it was______but seasonal decline.

选项 A、anything
B、nothing
C、something
D、everything

答案 B

解析 (1)句子结构。
In the face of the sharp drop in sales(时间状语)，the marketing manager(主语)passed(谓语)it(宾语)with a shrug(方式状语)，saying that it was______but seasonal decline(伴随状语)。
(2)选项词义。
A．anything n．任何事物，无论何事；某事物(用于疑问句)
B．nothing n．什么都没有，一点儿都没有
C．something n．某物；某事
D．everything n．每件事物；所有事物
本句的大意为“面对销售额的急剧下降，市场经理耸耸肩，说这不过是季节性的下降而已”。从词的搭配意义来看，在四个选项中，只有A和B与but可以搭配，anything but表示“绝不是”，而nothing but表示“只是”；从上下文来看，此处表示肯定意义，而非否定，因此nothing最符合题意。
【知识拓展】词汇拓展：nothing but与anything but。
①nothing but仅仅，只是
e．g．For miles and miles I could see nothing except(=but)a great fire and lots of smoke．
一连好几英里，除了大火和浓烟我什么也看不见。
②anything but根本不；绝对不；决不
e．g．They were anything but friendly off-camera，refusing even to take the same lift．
在银幕外，他们彼此一点也不友好，甚至不愿同乘一部电梯。
