文章中涉及到了BUT是非常重要的小詞，容易聽漏，我們需要重點注意。下面將為考生們分析一個小詞BUT，它在聽力中非常容易被忽略，因此需要我們加倍小心。

　　重要性

　　轉折

　　But在句子中的出現頻率非常高，在大多數情況下用作并列連詞連接，連接兩個并列的分句或兩個并列的成分，在意思上BUT表示轉折，翻譯為但是，可是。如：

　　A real find for our patients has been the shock-absorbing shoe insert. A cheap but very effective solution.

　　Sometimes theres simple fix such as changing the guy at the top. ... But a more ambitious approach ... would be to alter ...

　　這邊表示的是含義的轉折，說話的側重點往往是放在BUT的后面。因此往往會是聽力中的考點，我們需要在聽力過程中留意去聽取。

　　What does Karin think the company will do?

　　A. Look for private investors

　　B. Accept a takeover offer

　　C. Issue some new shares

　　Audio Scripts: ... They have the choice of accepting the very favorable terms that another company ... have given them to buy them out. ... Or they could ... offer some new shares if they wanted. But I ... expect they will start trying to find individuals whod be prepared to back them with some of the capital they need.

　　此題我們會發現A,B,C都有提及，并且都做了同義詞互換，因此在聽力中有較大的負擔。不過BUT的出現卻能夠幫助我們解題。這個詞語后面就是答案，這樣我們就很快的定位到了答案句。當然也可以通過排除法來做題，也就是but前面都是錯的，排除B和C同樣也能很快知道答案A。

　　還有一種情況是出現在固定短語not only ... but also ... 中，這是一組關聯并列連詞，表示其所連接的成份在意義上后一項對前一項的補充和引申，但側重點在后一項上，意思是不但而且。如，

　　Not only is he interested in the subject but also all his students are beginning to show interested in it.

　　有時候，but和also可以被分隔使用，如：

　　Of course they bring different ideas, but its also their attitudes ...

　　個別時候甚至可以將also省略，不過意思還是一樣的

　　During times of change they should be thinking not only about the strain on their staff but take time out to think of themselves.

　　此時意義類似于and，因此前后兩句都很重要，都有可能是考點，需要同等注意。
