高考必会词详解精练 (4)5

1994年高考单项填空第37题：
Mother was worried because little Alice was ill, especially ______ father was away in France.
A. as B. that C. during D. if
因为小艾丽斯病了，妈妈很是着急，尤其是爸爸去了法国不在身边。（答案是A。）
[拾零]
specially和especially，二者是什么关系？
举一个例子就可知晓：
过年家里吃团圆饭，妈妈知道你最爱吃红烧肉，于是就做了一小碗红烧肉专门给你吃。这时妈妈就可以说: “I made the红烧肉 specially for my daughter.” 但如果别人也爱吃（只是没有你那么爱吃），这时候妈妈可能就要做很多红烧肉，对大家说: “I made the红烧肉for everyone, especially for my daughter.”
even
adv. 甚至。如：
The patient didn’t even taste the food.
