句式分析：

1.

Although he is one of China’s most famous scientists, Yuan Longping considers himself a farmer, for he works the land to do his research. 在此句中for (因为,由于), 表示一种补充说明的理由，用于主句之后，并用逗号隔开;不能回答以why引起的问句。如：

The shop was quite new, for it had opened only the week before. It must have rained last night, __________________________. (因为地面是湿的) ★

辨析because, for because语气最强,表示直接原因,有必然因果关系, 能回答以why引起的问句. for 补充说明理由,不用于句首;不能回答以why引起的问句. The day breaks _______ the sun rises. The day breaks, ___ the birds are singing. as语气比because弱,说明比较明显的原因,它引导的从句通常放在句首,有时也可放在句末.

As it is raining, you'd better take a taxi. since“既然”,表示对方已知的或无需加以说明的原因或事实. 语气比because弱
