It contains many historically significant and beautiful wooden structures, 19 windmills, boathouses, chapels, fish houses, and homes.
答案：(C) including
including 在這裡作準介系詞「包括」，後接舉例列表；except（除了，語意相反）、besides（此外）、regarding（關於）都不合。
except 和 including 常常被放在同一份講義裡一起背，考試時很容易反射性地挑 except。也有人記得 besides 中文翻成「除了」，就跟著選下去。
先看空格後面接的是什麼：windmills, boathouses, chapels, fish houses, and homes——一整串具體的建築物。再看前一句 It contains many historically significant and beautiful wooden structures（島上有許多具歷史意義又美麗的木造建築）。風車、船屋、小教堂正是這些木造建築當中的幾樣，是「其中一部分」，不是被排除在外的東西。including 當介系詞用，意思就是「包括（在內）」，後面接的必須是前面那個整體的一部分。這一題真正要分辨的是課本上的老考點：except 是扣掉，besides 是加上。All the students except Tom came.（除了湯姆以外都來了，湯姆沒來）／Besides English, she speaks French.（除了英文，她還會說法文）。including 則是從整體裡舉出幾個代表。
except：除…之外（不包括），方向完全相反，會變成「這些建築不含風車、船屋」，與前一句矛盾。besides：除…之外還有，它加進來的是前面沒提到的另一批東西，但風車、船屋本來就屬於前面說的 wooden structures，不是另一批。regarding：關於、就…而言，後面接的是討論的話題，不是清單。
including（包括）、except for（除…之外）、apart from（除…之外，可指扣除也可指累加）、in addition to（除…之外還有）、regarding（關於）、historically significant（具歷史意義的）。
