一、短文与题目（自编）
The school library was small, and few students went there after class. The new librarian, Ms. Rao, did not buy more books. (1) ____, she moved the shelves apart and put two old armchairs by the window.
The change looked trivial. (2) ____, within a month the room was often full — students came not only to borrow books but to sit and read. (3) ____, a group of them started a weekly reading circle on their own.
(4) ____ the library remained small, it had become the busiest place in the school. Ms. Rao later said she had changed not the number of books, but the reason people came.
(1) A. Instead B. Therefore C. Moreover D. Otherwise
(2) A. Besides B. However C. In addition D. As a result
(3) A. Moreover B. Nevertheless C. For example D. In contrast
(4) A. Because B. Although C. Unless D. Since
二、逐空精讲：先判关系，再选词
(1) A Instead 关系：替代／转折。前句「did not buy more books」（没有多买书），后句「moved the shelves apart and put two old armchairs」（改做另一件事）。「没有做 A，而是做了 B」是 instead 的典型语境。
干扰项：Therefore 表结果，但「不买书」推不出「搬书架」；Moreover 表追加同类信息，而后句是不同方向的动作；Otherwise 需接条件句（「否则」），原文无条件。信号：否定句 + 紧接的肯定动作 → 先想 instead / rather。
(2) B However 关系：转折。「The change looked trivial」（改动看起来微不足道）与「within a month the room was often full」（一个月后常常坐满）构成预期与结果的反差。
干扰项：As a result 表因果——看似诱人，但前句「看起来 trivial」不是「坐满」的原因，真正原因是椅子与空间带来的可停留性；这里是「看起来不该发生却发生了」，是转折而非因果。Besides / In addition 表追加，不表反差。信号：trivial / only / at first / seemed + 后文显著变化 → 找转折。
(3) A Moreover 关系：递进／追加。前句「came not only to borrow books but to sit and read」（不只是借书，还坐下读），后句「started a weekly reading circle on their own」（自发办起读书会）——是同一趋势再进一层，且程度更高（从被动使用到主动组织）。
干扰项：Nevertheless、In contrast 都表反差，与同向递进矛盾；For example 要求后句是前句的具体例证，而「办读书会」是新一层行为，不是「坐下来读」的例子。信号：not only… but… 之后再出一层 → 多用 moreover / what's more。
(4) B Although 关系：让步。从句「the library remained small」（图书馆依旧很小）与主句「it had become the busiest place」（成了最热闹的地方）语义相悖，需让步连词，且与首段「was small, and few students went there」形成首尾对照。
干扰项：Because / Since 表原因，「小」不成为「最热闹」的原因；Unless 表否定条件，逻辑不通。信号：从句与主句一贬一褒 → 让步。
三、答案汇总与连接词分类表
| 空 | 答案 | 关系 | 定位信号 |
|---|---|---|---|
| (1) | A Instead | 替代／转折 | did not… + 另一动作 |
| (2) | B However | 转折（预期反差） | looked trivial / within a month |
| (3) | A Moreover | 递进 | not only… but… / on their own |
| (4) | B Although | 让步 | remained small / busiest |
| 关系 | 常用词 | 判据 |
|---|---|---|
| 转折／替代 | however, instead, yet, nevertheless | 前后反差或「没做A而做B」 |
| 因果 | therefore, as a result, thus, since | 前句确为后句原因，可插 because 检验 |
| 递进／追加 | moreover, besides, in addition, what's more | 同向再进一层，常配 not only…but… |
| 让步 | although, though, even if, despite | 从句与主句一贬一褒 |
| 举例／条件 | for example, unless, otherwise | 后句是例证，或原文有条件句 |
二次通读验证：代入四词连读——「没有买书，而是搬开书架摆上椅子 → 改动看似微小，然而一个月后坐满了 → 而且学生自发办了读书会 → 虽然馆依旧小，却成了最热闹的地方」。链条为「反预期 → 结果 → 再进一层 → 让步收束」，与末句 Ms. Rao 的话（改变的不是书的数量，而是人们来的理由）完全闭环 ✓。
四、句间关系判断清单
- □ 连接词空先遮住选项，自己判断前后两句是「反差／因果／同向递进／让步／例证」哪一类；
- □ 因果项用「能否插入 because」检验：插得进才是真因果，插不进多半是转折；
- □ 例证项看后句是不是前句的具体例子；若是一层新行为，选递进而非 for example；
- □ 让步项看从句与主句是否一贬一褒；
- □ 注意否定句 + 肯定动作（instead）、看似微小 + 显著变化（however）、not only…but… + 再一层（moreover）三个固定搭配信号；
- □ 全填完代回通读，检查与首段、末句是否闭环；
- □ 不在单个连接词空上凭「读着顺」二选一，一定回到关系判定。
连接词空几乎不考词汇量，考的是「你有没有把前后两句连起来看」。四类关系分清，干扰项自然就站不住了。
