状语从句
1.各种从属连词的含义及其运用;
2.no matter+疑问词与疑问词+ever引导的从句
的区别;
3.状语从句的时态问题;
4.状语从句的倒装问题;
5.状语从句与其他从句的区别。
状语从句
状语从句在句中作状语,修饰主句中的动词、形容词或副词等,有时修饰整个主句。状语从句按其意义和作用可分为时间、条件、原因、让步、目的、结果、方式、比较、地点等九种。当主句中的谓语动词时态是将来时,状语从句中的谓语动词时态要用一般现在时。
1.常用when, whenever, as, while, before, after, since, until (till), as soon as, the moment, hardly…when, no sooner…than等引导。如:
Whenever we met with difficulties, they came to help us.
无论我们何时碰到困难,他们都来帮助我们。
2.连词when, while, as都表示“当……的时候”,when引导的从句的动作和主句的动作可以同时发生,也可以先后发生;用as, while时则强调主句和从句的动作同时发生。as和when既可以指时间的某个点,也可以指一段时间,但while不可以表示某个点的时间,它所引导的从句中的谓语动词必须用延续性动词。如果主句表示的是短暂动作,而从句的动词持续一段时间时,as, when和while都可使用。如:
When I got home, I found the door locked.
当我到家时,我发现门锁着。
While/When/As we were working in the fields, it suddenly began to rain.
当我们正在田野里劳作时,天突然开始下雨。
As he walked along the street, he sang happily.
当他在街上散步时,他高兴地唱着歌。
3.as soon as和the moment引导的从句表示“一……就……”。用no sooner…than和hardly…when引导的从句表示“刚……就……”时,主句中的动词一般用过去完成时,从句用过去时,而且当no sooner或hardly位于句首时主句采用部分倒装,即把助动词had提到前面。如:
The moment (=As soon as) he entered the room, he put the chain across the door.
一进屋他就闩好门。
I had hardly arrived home when the telephone rang.
(=Hardly had I arrived home when the telephone rang.)
我一到家,电话就响了。
4.还有一些词,如immediately, directly, instantly表示“一……就……”,也可引导时间状语从句;某些名词词组如the minute, the instant, every/each time, the first time, next time等也可以引导时间状语从句。如:
Alice recognized Tom instantly/the instant she saw him.
艾丽斯一见到汤姆就认出了他。
1.常用because, since, as和now (that)等引导。如:
Now (that) all the guests have arrived, let’s have dinner.
既然所有客人都已到了,我们开饭吧。
2.because, since, as和for的区别
(1)这几个说明原因的连接词中,because语气最强,表示直接的因果关系,回答why提出的问题。如:
— Why is she absent from class?
— Because she is ill.
——她为什么缺课?
——因为她病了。
(2)since比because稍弱,表示事物关系上的自然结果。如:
Since the earth is round, why do not we fall off?
既然地球是圆的,那我们为什么不掉下来?
(3)as语气最弱,表示明显的原因。如:
As it is snowing, we shall not go to the park.
因为还在下雪,我们将不去公园。
(4)for是并列连词,不能置于句首。它所表示的理由只是一种解释、一种补充,往往是指推测的根据。如:
She must be ill, for she is absent from class.
她一定病了,因为她缺课了。
常用where, wherever等连词引导。注意不要和where引导的定语从句相混淆。如:
I found my book where I left it.(状语从句)
我在丢书的地方找到了我的书。
I found my book in the place where I left it.(定语从句)
我在丢书的地方找到了我的书。
常用if, unless, as/so long as, as/so far as, in case(如果), on condition that, once,if only等引导。如:
I’ll study so long as I’m alive.
只要我活着,我就会学习。
In case he comes, let me know.
万一他来,让我知道。
常用although/though, while (尽管), as, even if (= even though), however, whatever, whoever, no matter who/how/ what…, whether…or等引导。如:
Although/Though it rained heavily, they still went out.
尽管天下大雨,他们还是出去了。
While I like the color of the hat, I do not like its shape.
我喜欢这帽子的颜色,但我不喜欢它的形状。
注意:
1.although (though) 不能和but同时出现在一个复合句中,但是“Although/Though…(yet)…”句式却是正确的。
2.用as引导的让步状语从句须将作表语的形容词、名词(名词前不用冠词)或动词置于句首。如:
Rich as he is, I don’t envy him.=Although he is rich, (yet) I don’t envy him.
虽然他富有,然而我不羡慕他。3.whoever, whatever, whichever, however, whenever , wherever与no matter who/what/
which/how/when/where之间的区别是前者既可引导主语从句,又可引导状语从句,而后者只能引导状语从句。如:
However (= No matter how) hard he worked, he hardly made any progress.(状语从句,两者可换用)
无论他工作多么努力,他几乎没什么进步。
Whoever does it makes no difference.(whoever引导的是主语从句,不可换用no matter who)
无论谁做,意义都不大。
34
常用so that, in order that, so…that, in case(以免,以防),for fear that等引导。目的状语从句的谓语常含有can/could/may/might等情态动词。如:
They started early so that (=in order that) they might arrive in time.
他们早早地动身,以便能及时到达。
Please remind me of it again tomorrow in case I forget.
请明天再提醒我,以防我忘了。
用so that, so…that, such…that等引导。如:
There’s not any noise here so that I feel very comfortable.
这儿没一点儿噪音,因此我感到很舒服。
He works so hard that he makes great progress in his studies.
他学习很努力,因此在学习上取得了很大的进步。
It’s such a difficult problem that nobody can work it out.
这个问题如此的难以致没人能算出来。
用as, just as, as if (= as though)等引导。as if和as though引导的从句一般用虚拟语气,但如果从句中陈述的情况很可能实现,也可用陈述语气。如:
You may do as you like.
你可以做你想做的。
He speaks as if he were a gentleman.
他说话好像绅士。
常用as…as, not so…as, than, the more…the more等引导。比较从句部分常是省略句。如:
He runs faster than I.
他比我跑得快。
The more of the masses we unite, the better it is.
我们团结的人越多越好。

阅读理解:细节理解题的解题技巧
【要点概述】
在近年高考阅读理解试题中,细节题占有很大的比例。一般而言,此类题目属直接解答性问题,是阅读理解中最简单的一种,但比例大应特别注意。
细节理解题应遵循如下具体方法与步骤:
1.略读材料,大概了解原文,掌握其中心或主旨。
2.按文章的体裁、作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词等,预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。
3.将自己精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上,快速通篇跳读,直到找到细节出处,待找到含细节句子时,就要放慢速度,仔细核对比较内容,直到找到答案。
【体验高考】(2010·全国卷ⅡB篇)
When you're lying on the white sands of the Mexican Riviera, the stresses(压力) of the world seem a million miles away. Hey, stop! This is no vacation —
you have to finish something!
Here lies the problem for travel writer and food critic(评论家) Edie Jarolim. “I always loved traveling and always liked to eat, but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things,” Jarolim said. Now you can read her travel advice everywhere — in Arts and Antiques, in Brides, or in one of her three books, The Complete Idiot's Travel Guide to Mexico's Beach Resorts.
Her job in travel writing began some eight years ago. After getting a PhD in English in Canada, she took a test for Frommer's travel guides, passed it, and got the job. After working at Frommer's, Jarolim worked for a while at Rough Guides in London, then Fodor's, where she fell so in love with a description of the Southwest of the U. S. that she moved there.
Now as a travel writer, she spends one-third of her year on the road. The rest of the time is spent completing her tasks and writing reviews of restaurants at home in Tucson, Arizona.
As adventurous as the job sounds, the hard part is fact-checking all the information. Sure, it's great to write about a tourist attraction, but you'd better get the local(当地的)museum hours correct or you could really ruin someone's vacation.
()46. Which country does Jarolim live in now?
A. Mexico.
B. The U. S.
C. The U. K.
D. Canada.
18
B
细节理解题。第三段中提到Jarolim曾经在伦敦工作过,后来被对美国西南地区的描述所吸引,所以移民美国。
()47. What is most difficult for Jarolim?
A. Working in different places to collect information.
B. Checking all the facts to be written in the guides.
C. Finishing her work as soon as possible.
D. Passing a test to write travel guides.
B
细节理解题。最后一段第一句提到Jarolim工作虽然刺激,但工作繁琐的地方在旅游信息的查找与核实。

They were just an ordinary pair of jeans bought in a second-hand shop. But when four girls discover that the jeans look good on all of them, despite their different figures and heights, they realize “these are magical trousers”!
The four girls — Carmen, Tibby, Lena and Bridget — have been best friends all their lives. They live in the same small American town and usually spend every moment of their long summer holidays together.
This year they all turn 16. It is the first time they have had separate plans for the summer, but the girls are determined to keep in touch: They hit upon a wonderful plan of sharing the jeans throughout the holiday by sending them on to the next friend when they feel the time is right.
When they meet up at the end of the summer, they will record their favorite adventures on the trouser legs.
Based on American writer Ann Brashares' best-selling novel, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants tells the story of the girls' summer trips. It will be released on June 1 in the United States.
Beautiful Lena is going to Greece to be with her grandparents; strong, athletic Bridget is off to a football camp in Mexico; hot-tempered Carmen plans to have her divorced(离婚的) father all to herself in South Carolina; Tibby, the rebel will be left at home to work hard for little money.
Over the summer the jeans come to represent friendship and growing up. Lena finds ways to communicate with her grandpa, which she once thought was boring; Bridget falls in love with an older camp coach; Carmen finds out her father is engaged to a woman with two children; Tibby makes friends with a 12-year-old who is dying of cancer.
Even though the four girls miss each other, being apart takes each of them on their own adventures of love, courage and forgiveness. They grow and begin to understand the world and themselves.
() 1. Why do the four girls realize “these are magical trousers”?
A. The jeans are just an ordinary pair of pants.
B. The jeans were bought in a second-hand shop.

A. they want to record their favorite adventures
B. they want to keep in touch in their summer holidays

D. if they don't do so they will not meet up at the end of the summer
() 4. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants mentioned in the passage is probably ______.
A. a wonderful magazine
B. a best-selling novel
C. a cinema film
D. a football camp
() 5. During the summer vacation what happens to the four girls?

B. Tibby, the rebel, makes friends with a 12-year-old patient.
C. Beautiful Lena falls in love with an older camp coach.

2.D 细节理解题。由第三段第一句可知A项与文章内容相符;由第二段第一句可知B项与文章内容相符;由第二段第二句可知C项与文章内容相符。由第二段第二句及第三段第二句…可知她们通常(usually)而不是总是(always)在一起度假。
3.B 细节理解题。由文章第三段可看出这四个女孩是为了保持联系才做出她们的暑假计划的。
4.C 推断判断题。由第五段的第一句和It will be released…我们可以推断The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants是由一本畅销书改编拍摄的影片。
