But在高考中的四个考点解析 一、直接考查连词but在语境中的用法即要求考生根据试题的语境（看其是否有转折意味）来确定连词but的正确使用。这类考题通常会将连词but与连词and， so， or等结合起来考查。同学们做题时要注意比较，尤其要注意比较各个连词填入句子后，比较句意的逻辑性和通畅性。如： 1. You have failed two tests. You'd better start working harder， _______ you won't pass the course. A. and B. so C. but D. or 2. They wanted to charge $5， 000 for the car， _________ we managed to bring the price down. A. but B. so C. when D. since 3. -Somebody wants you on the telephone. -_________ no one knows I'm here. A. For B. And C. But D. So 二、利用but的转折语境考查其他知识点即根据题干中连词but的转折性语境来确定相关知识点的选择。此时尤其要注意前后相关信息的对比、对照或互为相反义。如： 1. He has made a lot of films， but _________ good ones. A. any B. some C. few D. many 2. It's hard for him playing against me. I've got nothing to play for， but for him， he needs to win so _________. A. far B. well C. little D. badly 3. I told your friend how to get to the hotel， but perhaps I _________ have driven her there.
A. could B. must C. might D. should 三、考查but的相关结构或句式如考查not…but…， not only…but （also）…等句式的搭配和运用。如： 1. Between the two generations， it is often not their age， _________ their education that causes misunderstanding. A. like B. as C. or D. but 2. Reality is not the way you wish things to be， nor the way they appear to be， _________ the way they actually are. A. as B. or C. but D. and 四、考查连词but与定语从句的相互干扰大家知道，在含有定语从句的复合句中，我们是不能在主句与从句之间使用并列连词的。但是，命题者有时却会利用连词but与定语从句的相互干扰性来考查考生的辨别能力。如： 1. I don't mind her criticizing me， but _________ is how she does it that I object to. A. it B. that C. this D. which 2. The doctor advised Vera strongly that she should take a holiday， but _________ didn't help. A. it B. she C. which D. he Break常见短语及考点解析 1.
