But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious.
请教老师,that 指代的是后半句的those who吗? that close to 这部分请老师分析。网上有原文,可以复制粘贴百度到。谢谢老师。
now that是引导原因状语从句的连词,可理解为because。close to half our high school students中close to相当于almost,修饰half。close to half为前位限定词,our为中位限定词,high school students为名词中心词。close to half our high school students整体是个名词词组作主语原因状语从句的主语。网友误将now that分开理解,则导致不知that起什么作用。记住now that是个复合连词,引导原因状语从句。
