一、 时间状语从句
引导时间状语从句的连词有:when, as, while, until, not…until, before, after, since, the minute, the moment, each( every, next, the first) time等。时间状语从句中一般用一般现在时或一般过去时。
1. When , while, as都可解释为“当```的时候”但侧重点有所不同。
1) When
Eg: When I arrived home , I had a little rest.
注意点:
when 从句的主语与主句主语相同,谓语动词是be 动词时,从句主语和be可以省略。
Eg: When (she was) walking along the street, she met her class teacher.
2) As
As 除了表示“当```的时候”,还可表示为“一面```一面”,“随着”
Eg: He sang as he danced.(一面```一面)
You will grow wiser as you grow older.(随着)
3) While表示“当```的时候”强调主句的动作和从句的动作同时发生,从句一般用进行时,从句动词必须是延续性动词。
Eg: While we were working, they were having a rest.
While (they were) having a discussion, they got very confused.
注意点:
while 有对比的含义,解释为“然而”。
eg: I prefer black tee, while he likes coffee.
2. until, not…until表示“直到```才”,在肯定句中主句常用延续性动词;在否定句中主句常用短暂性动词。
肯定句:I waited until midnight.
否定句:I did not leave until midnight.
注意点:
1)not until…在句首,主句用倒装
eg: Not until you had explained how did I manage to do it.
2) It is not until…that…引导的强调句
It was not until it was dark that he came back.
3. the minute, the moment, each time都可表示“一```就```”
eg: The worker recognized the type of the machine the moment he saw it.
注意点:
the minute, the moment, each ( every, next, the first) time作连词不和when 连用。

eg: I had hardly/scarcely got home when it began to rain.
I had no sooner got home than it began to rain.

1. unless 和if…not
unless 相当于if…not
eg: You will fail unless you study hard.
You will not fail if you study hard.

注意点:
1) though可引导倒装(although不引导倒装),结构为:
强调对象+as/though+主语+其它成分,强调对象可为表语(名词、形容词)或状语(副词),表语为名词时,前面不用冠词。
Child as/ though he was, he knew what was the right thing to do.
Tired as he is, he goes on with his work.
2) despite 和 in spite of 也有让步意义,后接名词或动词,而though, although是连词,后接从句。

the reason that , due to the fact that,owing to the fact that等

since的语气比because 弱,比as强,表示间接的,已知的原因,自然的结果,表示“既然,由于”。
Eg: As/ Since you are not very well, you had better have a rest.
3.for
当for表示原因关系时,for分句是对第一分句内容的推断或猜测。
Eg: It must have rained last night, for the ground is wet now.

【答案与解析】
1. 选 D。when 意为“在(当)……时候”。其余三项填入空格处,句意不通。
2. 选 D。until 意为“直到”,句意为“一位优秀的故事讲述者必须能够让听众在故
事结束前一直保持好奇心”。
3. 选 C。as long as 意为“只要”,全句意为“只要我知道这钱是安全的,我就不会担心了”。类似地,下面一题也选 as long as:
“What are you going to do this afternoon?’ “I’ll probably go for a walk later on ____ it stays fine.”
A. as far as B. as long as
C. even if D. as if
4. 选 D。unless 意为“如果不”、“除非”,用以引导一个条件状语从句。
5. 选 C。考查 not…until… 句式,其意为“直到……才……”。
6. 选B。whatever 引导的是让步状语从句,相当于 no matter what。注意不能选A,因为 suggest 是及物动词,它应带自己的宾语,而 however 不能用作宾语。
7. 选A。where 指“在……的地方”,用以引导地点状语从句。
8. 选A,wherever 意为“无论什么地方”。
9. 选 B。根据语境可推知。如下面一题也选as soon as:
_______ he became rich he cast aside all his old friends who gave him some
help.
A. While B. As soon as
C. Suddenly D. Then
10. 选A。whatever her faults 为让步状语从句,句末省略了谓语动词 are。
11. 选 A。now that 为连词,用以引导原因状语从句,其意为“既然”,与since 同义。其中的 might as well意为“不妨”。全句意为“既然你得到一个机会,你不妨充分利用它”。
12. 选C。the first time 在此用作连词,用以引导状语从句。句意为“我第一次见到她就认为她很诚实”。
13. 选C。in case 意为“以防”。
14. 选 D。when 不表示“当……的时候”,而表示“既然”,相当于 since,用以引导原因状语从句。全句意为:你既然已经有了这么好的工作,干吗还要找新的工作呢? 请再两例:
I can’t tell you when you won’t listen. 既然你不想听,我就不告诉你了。
Why use wood when you can use plastic? 既然能用塑料,为什么还要用木料?
15. 选A。than 后省略了 he was,假若补充完整,全句即为 He is better than he
was when I last visited him。
16. 选 B。比较四个选项:so long as(只要),even though(即使),since(自从,既然),while(当……时候),其中只有B的意思最合适,全句意为“即使处罚不公平,他毫无怨言地接受”。
17. 选A。while 在此不表示“当……的时候”,而表示“尽管”。
18. 选B。as far as 意为“尽,就,至于”,常用于 as far as I know(据我所知),as far as one can see(在某人看来),as far as one can(某人尽力),as far as sth / sb is concerned(就某事 / 某人来说)等结构。
19. 选C。however 在此引导让步状语从句,意义上相当于 now matter how。
20. 选 C。so that 引导目的状语从句,其意为“为了”。
21. 选 D。根据句子语境,选 B 或 D 较适合,但 even 是副词,不是连词,不能引导状语从句,故选 D。
22. 选 D。问句的基本结构是“It is +时间段+since 从句”,其原句型是 I suppose it is no more than half a month since he left for Japan. 假若对此句中的 no more than half a month 提问,则可得到提问句。
23. 选 D。what 引导的是主语从句,其中的 what 相当于 the schools that。
