()4. —I want to give up learning to draw. It's too difficult.
—Don't give up! you like Art so much, you should keep trying.

A.As
B.Unless
C.Since
D.Until

4. C 【点拨】答语句意：别放弃！既然你这么喜欢艺术，就该坚持尝试。since 既然。故选 C。

【分析】首先理解对话语境：一方因画画难想放弃，另一方劝其坚持，给出的理由是“你这么喜欢艺术”，需选择引导原因状语从句的连词。先分析各选项含义：A.As可表“因为”，但多引导直接原因，语气较弱；B.Unless意为“除非”，表条件，不符合语境；C.Since意为“既然”，引导已知的、显而易见的原因，符合此处逻辑；D.Until意为“直到”，表时间，不符合。由此确定答案。
【解析】对话翻译：——我想放弃学画画，太难了。——别放弃！既然你这么喜欢艺术，就该坚持尝试。选项辨析：A.As作连词时可表“因为”，但通常用于说明直接原因，语气不如since贴合语境；B.Unless意为“除非”，引导条件状语从句，代入后语义不通；C.Since意为“既然”，用于引出已知的原因，符合答句中“因喜欢艺术（已知事实）而应坚持”的逻辑；D.Until意为“直到……为止”，引导时间状语从句，不符合语境。综上，选C。
【答案】C
【知识点】原因状语从句；连词辨析
【点评】本题考查原因状语从句中连词的词义辨析，需结合对话语境理解各连词的用法差异，属于基础语法题，难度适中。

()5. —Our school will hold a traditional art show this weekend.
— many students are looking forward to it, let's go and enjoy the works together.

A.Since
B.So
C.But
D.Or

【分析】先理解对话语境：一方告知学校周末将举办传统艺术展，另一方以“很多学生期待”为理由提议一起去欣赏作品。需判断前后句的逻辑关系，选择合适的连词。
【解析】分析各选项：A选项since意为“既然”，用于引导已知的原因，符合此处“以学生期待为理由提议”的逻辑；B选项so表结果，后句是建议而非结果，排除；C选项but表转折，不符合语境；D选项or表选择或假设，不合适。因此选A。
【答案】A
【知识点】连词辨析
【点评】本题考查连词的用法，需结合语境分析逻辑关系，属于基础题型。
