【题目解析】：本题考查的是段落的连贯性。连贯性和语言表达的形式相关。指的是一个句子能自然的过渡到下一个句子。既指句与句之间的联系，又指整个段落的组织。在一个段落中，句子与句子之间有一种自然的逻辑关系。段落中的每一个句子，都是前一个句子的某种逻辑归宿与承诺，从而使整个段落浑然一体。连贯性包括意连和形连两个方面，前者指的是段落整体内在的逻辑性，后者指的是段落中句与句之间的自然过渡；当然这两者常常是不可分割的。只有形连而没有意连，句子之间就没有内在的有机的联系；反之，只有意连而没有形连，行文就不够流畅意连段落中句子的排列应遵循一定的次序，先写哪一句，后写哪一句，都是有特定的规则的，不能想到什么就写什么。而这些规则也正好为我们去判断一个段落中的各句哪句再先，哪句在后，提供了理论支持。形连行文的逻辑性常常要靠适当的转换词语及其他手段来实现段落中句与句之间的自然过渡。这种对转换词的使用就是达到形连的有效手段。本段中，首先确定的是段落的主题句E句已经给定而E句中的“tough years” 正是B句中的These are the years……。A句已经给定，后续的D句是问题的总括，之后各句都是围绕它展开的。F句中的The debate的出现，表明它紧随在D句之后，C句已经给定。而C句后是一个让步关系的结构，这个问题是迎刃而解的。
