【分析】这是一道英语连词词义辨析题，解题思路为：先理解对话的语境逻辑，再逐一分析每个选项连词的含义与用法，最后选出符合语境的正确选项。对话中一方因画画难想放弃，另一方劝其坚持，空格后内容是已知的原因，需选表“既然”含义的连词。
【解析】逐一分析选项：A.As可表原因，但侧重说明直接原因，不如表“既然”的连词贴合语境；B.Unless意为“除非”，代入后逻辑不通；C.Since意为“既然”，用于引出已知的、双方都清楚的事实，符合“既然你那么喜欢艺术，就该坚持”的语境；D.Until意为“直到”，不符合句意。因此选C。
【答案】C
【知识点】连词辨析，从属连词

— many students are looking forward to it, let's go and enjoy the works together.

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

5. A 【点拨】空格后是已知、显然的理由，表示“既然”，用 since。故选 A。

If a person wants to be gentleman, he should pay attention to what he does and says. Then what are the rules for a gentleman on words and actions? Let's find out the answers from Confucius, one of the greatest (teacher) in ancient China.
Confucius said, "If a gentleman, not caring for food or housing, is diligent in what he does, careful with what he says and corrects himself with a worthy, he can be regarded as a good learner."—The Analects of Confucius (子曰:"君子食无求饱,居无求安,敏于事而慎于言,就有道而正焉,可谓好学也已。"——《论语》)
In the West, people pay too much attention to (be) eloquent(能言善辩的). They believe that how someone says something is (important) than what is said. However, Confucius didn't think so. He believed that gentlemen should choose their words (careful), even if that may make people feel (bore).
Confucius had such beliefs he thought that words are important and that they should follow etiquette(规矩). But he also put forward his idea of what gentlemen should do: work hard. He said that gentlemen should not be lazy and need to focus on their work to improve (they).
These rules for gentlemen's words and actions (influence) Chinese people for a long time. Today, many Chinese people still prefer to have a practical spirit rather say beautiful words.
Of course, as culture has developed over time, we should also view his words critically(批判性地). Choosing our words and actions according to the situation is also a form of wisdom.
