Passage 2.
Pros and Cons of Having Hands in the Pockets
There are far more pros for students having their hands in their pockets. 1) lets look at the comparisons and weigh up the results of the two anyway.
Lets look at the cons to start with. The main con is that Mr. Pinto is against students having hands in their pockets. 2) why is Mr. Pinto against hands in pockets? As he has explained,he feels that it is disrespectful, for he believes that when your hands are in your pockets,you are not listening properly.
3) there is the belief of the nineteen sixties and seventies that when young men or women have their hands in their pockets,it will lead to them masturbating. This was frowned upon at the time 4) now it is more acceptable. This may also be a contributing factor to why Mr. Pinto has made a stand against hands in the pockets. For he is old enough to have lived through and taken in these rudimentary views (no disrespect intended).
5) the pros can easily rebut the allegation of the cons. Young men as energetic as they will be are constantly requiring to do something. Think of the pockets as a restraining device to prevent fidgeting and fooling around with other students.
In this way,the pockets prevent students from being distracted from the speaker 6) the subject they should be observant of. This prevents the students from having a disrespectful response. 7) comes the comfort factor. Students claim that it is more comfortable to have their hands in their pockets when they are standing up. Heed that it is proven that people have longer attention spans, listen more attentively, and remain calmer and more relaxed when more comfortable. This leads to a greater increase in the productivity of the students actions or listening skills. 8) it has been proven students having their hands in their pockets will make them better and more attentive listeners and prevent them from getting up to mischief. Is it better the students have their hands in their own pockets than be fooling around in someone else?
答案与解析:
1.答案〖〗Nevertheless解析〖〗本词意思是:(尽管如此)还是,仍然。作者在文章的一开头就提出了一个观点,即对于学生双手插兜的现象,赞成的态度多一些。该词起到引领全文的作用,即便我们有这样的认识,还是应该看一下具体的讨论和比较。Nevertheless有即便做出让步,影响仍很小的含义。
2.答案〖〗Still解析〖〗该词在此是一个连词,表示“但是,仍然”,如:He is dull; still he tries hard.虽然笨,可是他很刻苦。该词在句中起强调的作用。Art is long, life is short.
人生有涯艺无涯。
3.答案〖〗Also解析〖〗为承接上一段的内容,继续列举人们对于学生将手插兜的不赞成观点,这里用表示“也,还是”的词来连接上下文。当提到“也,还是”含义的词时,我们不禁会想到很多常用的同义词,除also之外还有too, likewise, besides, moreover, furthermore等,现在我们来回顾这些词的用法:所有这些副词都是介绍附加内容之用的。相比之下,also在语气上比too正式一些,试比较:He is gentle, but he is also capable of fierce intellectual combat.他很温和,但他也能够进行激烈的斗智。If you buy a car, youll need a parking place, too. 如果你买辆车,你还需要一个停车场。再看likewise,它比also更加正式,并可能暗示各成分之间的平等和相似,如:You forgot to mention that her parents were likewise going to attend the ceremony.你忘了提到她父母也可能去参加仪式。besides经常引出一个加强前面内容的成分,如:I dont feel like cooking; besides, theres no food in the house. 我不想做饭,而且家里已经没有可吃的东西了。moreover强调要出现事物的重要性,如The cellar was dark and forbidding; moreover, I knew a family of mice had nested there. 这个地窖阴森可怕,而且我知道那有一窝老鼠。furthermore同moreover类似,常强调要出现事物的重要性,如:I dont want you to go, furthermore, I forbid it.我不想让你去,而且我也禁止你去。
