Answer 1

A
試題分析：考查近義詞的用法辨析。本題四選項都可表原因。because，since 和as雖然都表可以表原因，但是它們是從屬連詞，后面接原因狀語從句，故不能選。而because of是介詞短語，后面要接賓語。what he had done是一個賓語從句作賓語，故選because of。句意：老師因為Tim在考試中的表現(xiàn)打電話給他的母親。

點評：本題四選項都可表原因。because，since 和as雖然都表可以表原因，是從屬連詞，而because of是介詞短語，后面要接賓語。類似的結(jié)構(gòu)還有表假設的in case與in case of的區(qū)別。
