while 作连词时, 有三种用法是高考热点:
作从属连词,引导时间状语从句,意为
“当……的时候;和……同时”,从句中
应用延续性或状态性动词;
(2) 作从属连词,引导让步状语从句,表示
转折,意为“虽然;尽管”;
(3) 作并列连词,表示“对比”,意为“而,
然而”。
2) rather than 而不是;与其……宁愿
e.g. He sold the vegetables at half price
rather than let them go bad.
他半价出售了这些蔬菜,省得让它
们烂掉。
These shoes are comfortable rather
than pretty.
与其说这些鞋好看,不如说它们舒
服。
注意:
rather than连接两主语时,谓语与第一个主语保持一致。
e.g. I, rather than you, am to blame.
是我而不是你该受责备。
常用搭配:would prefer to do … rather
than do …
e.g. Rather than stay at home, I’ll prefer
to go out.与其待在家里,我宁愿出去。
3) as well as 除……之外; 和; 与…… 一样
e.g. We travelled by night as well as by day.
我们白天走,晚上也走。
He is nice as well as considerate.
他态度和蔼且考虑周到。
as well 也,通常用于句尾。
Would you like to come as well
你也愿意来吗?
may/might as well 不妨,还不如
as well as 连接两主语时,谓语与第一个主语保持一致。
e.g. E-mail, as well as telephones, ______ an important part in daily communication.
A. is playing B. have played
C. are playing D. play
A
注意:
4. Imagine doing this for a mile!
想想吧,这个动作要反复做一英里远。
imagine 的常考用法: “imagine + 动词-ing 形式”或“imagine + one’s / n. / pron. + 动词 –ing 形式”, 其中 one’s / n. / pron. 是动词 –ing 形式的逻辑主语, imagine 后不可接动词不定式作宾语。
5. Sri Chinmoy says that it is just as important for people to develop their bodies as it is to develop their minds, hearts and spiritual selves.
斯里琴摩指出人们发展他们的体魄与发展他们的头脑、心灵和精神上的自我具有同等的重要性。
spiritual精神上的;physical身体上的,肉体的。
e.g. She is English but India is her spiritual
home.
她是一个英国人,但印度是她的精神故乡。
A complete physical examination once in a
year is necessary when you are over forty.

leader to enter the marathon even
though he had done no training.

鼓励,激励某人做……
e.g. I strongly ____________________
smoking. 我力劝你戒烟。
They urged on us the need for
cooperation.
他们向我们强调合作的必要性。
urge you to give up
这类动词还有:
ask要求,advise建议,arrange安排, beg请求,command命令,decide决定,demand要求,desire渴望,insist 坚持,intend 打算,propose提议,object反对,order命令,require需要,request要求,recommend推荐,suggest建议,urge强调, 促进, 力劝
even though/even if 用作连词,意思是
“即使,纵然,尽管”。
Tim is in good shape physically _____ he doesn’t get much exercise.
A. if B. even though
C. unless D. as long as
B
考查状语从句。句意为“尽管Tim不经常锻炼,但他体形很好。” 前后是让步关系,故选 B 项。
7. Every time Ashrita tries to break a record, he reaches a point where he feels he cannot physically do any more.
每次试图破纪录的时候,阿西里塔都会达到一个体力不可逾越的极限点。
point, situation, case 等词可表示抽象的地点,作先行词后接定语从句时,若引导词在从句中作状语, 引导词通常使用where。
8. There is only one perfect road. It is ahead of you, always ahead of you.
完美的道路只有一条,它就在你的前方,永远在你前方。
ahead of 比……早, 在……前面; 高, 优于, 超过
ahead of time 提前,提早
e.g. I think the work can be completed
ahead of time.
我认为这项工作能提前完成。
