8.答案〖〗But解析〖〗此处but,“但是”,表示一种强烈的,无可争议的转折关系,也是在提醒人们事实的不可逆性。最后想请大家注意的是,我们在练习各种文章的写作时,总是把注意力集中在老师强调的文章主题要有新意等问题上,而忽略了循序渐进地练习相对简单、基础的知识,如转折、连贯等的表达法的重要性。事实上,文章的主干部分是最重要的,而要想做好这些工作,全靠我们的基本功。只有我们的基本功炼扎实了,才能在中心、主题等方面标新立异,施展无穷的才华。所以希望大家通过这篇文章的练习能够体会到在必要时频繁使用BUT并不一定会让文章失色。
Passage 4.
Teachers and Society
Teachers are “engineers of the human souls.” 1) to many college graduates, teaching is probably the last thing they want to do, 2) the teaching profession in our country is often associated with low pay and poor housing.

Constant dropping wears away a stone.
滴水穿石。答案与解析:
1.答案〖〗But解析〖〗开篇第一句话打了双引号,显然这是一句对于老师公认的至高无上的评价,但根据空格后面的内容,我们可以推断出学生对于教师这一职业的态度并不像引语中说的那么积极。因此这里我们用一个转折连词but。
2.答案〖〗for解析〖〗社会上既然将老师这一职业大加赞赏,为什么和老师接触最多的学生们不愿意选择这样的未来呢?这是每一位读者都迫切想知道的事情,空格后面的内容就是对这一问题做出的解释。根据空格的位置(for在接表原因的句子时只能放在主句后面)和意思,我们用表原因的for。
3.答案〖〗even解析〖〗人们不想当老师的原因已经很清楚了,这里作者还想进一步介绍老师在物质方面的窘迫,所以谈到了乡村教师,在此要表达一种强调语气“更”“还”的意思,我们使用副词even,此处是even与比较级连用表示“比……更加”“比……还要”的意思。
4.答案〖〗Yet解析〖〗虽然,尽管如此。大家是否注意到该段第一个词后紧接着就是一个标点符号,我们通过观察发现被标点隔开的空格中需要的不是起关键作用的主语或其它句子中的重要成分,因此它要么是一个呼语,要么就是个修饰全句的副词或连词,如果是呼语或副词,在此文讲不通道理,那么它应该是一个承接上文、引领下文的连词,且该词有强调的语气。最后想为大家补充一点的是,在正式文体中,当yet表示“迄今”这一意思时,需与现在完成时动词连用,而不能使用一般过去时动词,如:(1)He hasnt started yet.(正确)(2)He didnt start yet.(错误) The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.
