正确答案A，想知道D为什么不对，因为我就选了D

官方解答是：D Excepting usually appears in negative constructions; it is not the correct idiom in this sentence. 不理解啊。。做题的时候怎么判定啊？！

我遇到的基本都是用except +介词+名词，很少见直接用excepting....

我查了下，关于excepting的用法：

多用于否定句中，前面通常加 not only, without

举个例子：Everyone helped, not excepting John。
We must all obey the law, not excepting the king.

excepting for is always wrong.

choice ABE can be eliminated because of lack of conjunction.

层主层主，这个连词是只要句子有转折就需要加连词吗？还是...?如何判断这道题需要加连词呢？
谢谢你！

在这里贴上ron的回答：

"except for" is considered correct, but it's usually wordy; in mast cases in which it's appropriate, you can just use "except" instead.
ex:
the delegates came from all U.S. states except for Florida.
--> better: the delegates came from all U.S. states except Florida.

in most cases, though, except + preposition is not actually an idiomatic construction at all. what you're seeing is the use of the word "except" - in isolation - followed by a preposition that goes with whatever words follow.

for instance:
gambling is illegal everywhere in the state, except on chippewa reservations.
--> correct. notice that "except + on" is not an idiomatic construction; rather, "on" is simply the pronoun that happens to go correctly

it's not really "except in" - in other words, the "in" doesn't really belong with the "except" here.

the "except" construction is basically just "except X, Y".
the "in" belongs idiomatically with "the domains". i.e., the only preposition that's acceptable with "the domains" is "in"; it's not really an issue of "except" at all.

for instance:
she's never been happy in a relationship, except with james.
except on saturdays, the store is open until 9 p.m.
