首先搞清几个词和短语的用法: despite 尽管;虽然(是介词,后跟名词或代词,构成介词短语)Despite the difficulties he threw himself into the research. 尽管困难重重,他还是全身心投入了调查研究. despite all that尽管如此 (作状语,要用逗号与句子的主干隔开)Despite all that, tourism is still making modest progress. 尽管如此，旅游业依然有适度的发展。 despite of没有这个中歼短语,应为: in despite of 尽管 We started for the tour in despite of the heavy rain. 尽仔培嫌管下大雨, 我们还是出发去旅行. We shall be victorious in despite of difficulties. 不管有什么困难,我们一定会胜利. 没有in spite that的说法. 应为:in spite of不管，不顾；尽管，虽然 (in despite of =in spite of )He has modern ideas in spite of his great age. 尽管他年事很高,但思想观念却念手很入时.In spite of the rain he was insistent on going out. 尽管下雨,他仍然坚持外出. 再来分析问题中这个句子: AC选项的短语本身就不正确,首先排除; D选项没有逗号,且用在此处,句意不通.故选B.Despite 句意: 尽管现代马戏团偶尔有意外的暴力事件,但它与很久之前的野蛮的同名物几乎没有关联.
