_____________. Graham also keeps plenty of traditional designs in stock, since they prove as popular as the one-offs. “It seems that people are attracted to handcrafting,” Graham says. “They welcome the opportunity to acquire something a little bit different.”
A、[A]Graham has become increasingly busy, supplying flat-packed weathervanes to clients worldwide.
B、[B]Graham decided to concentrate his efforts on a weathervane business.

C、[C]Last month, a local school was opened with his galleon ship weathervane hoisted above it.

E、[E]Graham has no plans for expansion, as he wants to keep the business as a rural craft.
F、[F]Graham has now perfected over 100 original designs. He works to very fine detail, always seeking approval for the design of the silhouette from the customer before proceeding with the hand-cutting.

本题考查的知识点是:上下文的衔接+段群的主题
本题空格上文即第五段,论述了格雷汉姆对设计风向标工作的喜爱。空格下文即第七段提到,格雷汉姆也保留了很多传统设计。可见,上下文主要围绕“设计”这个主题展开论述。而且,下文出现的特征词“also”表明空格部分与下文存在递进关系。[F]中“original designs”与下文“traditional designs”对照呼应,因此是正确项。
