我解释不清,以下为具体解释
问: Mary was disappointed when she found out they had gone to the ball ____ her .
A. except B. except for C. without D. besides
为什么不能选A?

答: 句意:当玛丽得知他们都去了舞会而没有带她,她很失望.
Except表示“除了”,通常是指主观上自己排除在外,而without则表示“没有”,通常是指被别人排除在外.如:
They all went to the park except her.
除了她之外,他们都去了公园.
(她自己不去)
Please don”t leave without me.
请让我和你一起去.(不要把我留下)
(被别人丢下而不是自己不去)
except for 表示除去的是原整体的一部分.如:
Your composition is well except for some grammar mistakes.
Besides 则表示 除去…后还有…,包括除去的部分. 如:
All the boy went to school besides Tom.
所有的孩子都去学校了,包括tom在内.
故A不合适.应选C
