【回答】
A
【解析】句意：尽管大规模的修建公路和高速公路，因为近几年小汽车数量的不断增加，改进的空间仍旧很大。in spite of尽管，不管；regardless of不管，不顾；by means of用某方法；on account of由于……。regardless of和in spite of虽然在翻译时都译为“不管, 不顾”, 但两者在用法上仍然有差别。regardless of重点强调对regardless of之后的内容不予考虑; in spite of强调转折, 通常是取“尽管”之意。例如: Regardless of the warnings from the family, the young man went to Iraq. 不顾家人的*告, 年轻人去了*。In spite of the hard life he was living, he remained positive about everything. 尽管生活艰*(不管生活有多艰*), 他仍然对所有一切都很乐观。故选A项。
