It was almost dark in the street ___a few spotlights.
A.except B.except for 两者有什么区别?
同学,很高兴回答你的问题
正确答案：选B.except for
即：It was almost dark in the street except for a few spotlights.
翻译：街上几乎都黑了,除了一些聚光灯还亮着.
解析：except 和 except for 的区别：
except表示“除去,不包括”,强调所排除的“不包括在内”,一般表示同类之间的关系,常同nothing,all,none,nobody,any等不定代词以及every连用.except 经常接名词或代词,但也可接副词,介词短语,例如：
① The office is open every day except Sundays.
除了星期日这家公司每天都营业.
② You can have any of the cakes except this one.
除了这块蛋糕,你哪块都能吃.
③ She saw nothing except snow.
除了雪她什么也没看见.（nothing except = nothing but = only）
except for也表示“除…以外”,指对某种基本情况进行具体的细节方面的修正.它同except的区别是：except for后接的词同句子中的整体词（主语）不是同类的,指从整体中除去一个细节,一个方面；而except后接的词同整体词（主语）一般是同类,指在同类的整体中除去一个部分.例如:
③ I can answer all the questions except for the last one.
除了最后一题外,所有题目我都可以解答.
④ Your writing is good except for a few grammar mistakes.
除了几处语法错误外,你的作文写得很好.
