however：与前文形成强烈的对比，可以用来引导一个句子。
* Example: However, the weather changed, and it started raining.

* Example: The instructions were unclear, nevertheless, he managed to complete the task.

despite this/that：表示尽管有某种情况，但仍有另一情况发生。
* Example: Despite this, she remained calm and collected.

nonetheless：与前文内容形成对比，强调另一情况的真实性。
* Example: The project was challenging, nonetheless, he persevered.

in spite of：与“despite”相似，表示尽管有某种障碍或困难，但还是有另一情况发生。
* Example: In spite of the rainy weather, the picnic was a success.

though：表示让步，意味着即使某种情况为真，另一种情况也可能为真。
* Example: Though he was tired, he continued working.

【易错警示】although或though在引导让步状语从句时，主句不可使用转折连词but，但是可以使用yet或still。例如:Although she is in poor health，(yet) she works hard.虽然她的身体不好，但是她工作非常努力。
二She is in poor health，but she works very hard.
【知识拓展】however作为“然而”之意时，是副词，可位于句首、句中和句尾，而且需要使用逗号与句子隔开。例如:It's raining hard. However I still want to go there.雨下得很大。然而，我仍然想去那里。Later, however, he madehis mind to give up the idea.然而，后来他下定决心放弃了那个想法-

Sacha Jafri is a 44—year—old artist from England. He decided to create the world's largest painting. He asked children to send him pictures showing their true feelings, and he got artwork electronically submitted by children from over 140 countries.
Using the children's ideas as a starting point, he started to paint at the beginning of March last year. He tried to keep the ideas from the children's pictures in his mind. He even included the children's drawings in the artwork.
Jafri used a huge ballroom in a fancy hotel to do this. He worked long hours— often up to 20 hours a day. He hurt his back by bending over so much while he painted so that he had to put it aside and have a rest for some days in July. It took seven months, over 1 ,000 paintbrushes and 1 ,664 gallons of paint to create the painting which is over 1,600 square meters. He set a Guinness World Record for the world's largest painting—roughly the size of four basketball courts.
The artwork called The Journey of Humanity is about connection between people. Jafri hopes that no matter what difficulties people meet, it will help bring the world together and unite as one to fight against them. Since Jafri's goal was to raise money to help children, he planned to cut it up into smaller sections, so he could sell them for charity.
Jafri hoped that by selling the sections separately, he could raise $ 30 million. But when the auction (拍卖)ended on March 22, 2021, Jafri did much better than that. And he didn't have to split up the pieces. The whole artwork was sold for $62 million. That's the fourth highest price ever paid for a painting by a living artist. The buyer plans to build a special building to show the artwork off and let more people appreciate it.

A. To sell them to raise money for his painting.
B. To collect their ideas to be used in his painting.

D. To show the worldwide influence of his painting.
5. When did Jafri finish his painting?
A. Last July. B. Last August.
C. Last September. D. In March ,2021.
6. What is the theme of Jafri's The Journey of Humanity?
A. The protection of children.
B. The development of charity.
C. The appreciation of different arts.
D. The partnership between people.
7. How did Jafri feel about the outcome of the auction about his painting?
A. It's unexpected. B. It's doubtful. C. It's discouraging. D. It's worrying.
