并列连词和状语从句考点精讲精练
连词是语法填空和短文改错必考考点。下面结合典型考题对并列连词和状语从句的常见考点进行梳理归纳,希望能帮助广大考生熟悉这两个语法项目的考查热点。
一、并列连词
并列连词可用来表示并列关系、转折关系、选择关系和因果关系等。
1. 表示并列、递进或顺承关系的连词有and, both ... and ..., neither ... nor ..., not only ... but also ...等。例如:
The earth is one of the suns planets, and the moon is our satellite.
【典例1】If we stay at home, it is comfortable but there is no need to spend money.(短文改错)
解析:but改为and。根据行文逻辑可知,前后两句表示的是并列和顺承关系,而不是转折关系。
【典例2】It was time for her to have a new baby, 70 it was also time for the young panda to be independent.
解析:and。根据句意和语境以及also可知,前后两句是并列关系,故填并列连词and。
2. 表示轉折、对比关系的连词有but, yet, while等。例如:
The problem was a little hard, yet I was able to work it out.
The winter in Beijing is very cold while that of Kunming is warm.
【典例1】You probably know who Marie Curie was, ______ you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. (阅读理解改编)
解析:but。根据前后两句的意思可知,此处表示转折,故填but。
【典例2】She drinks black coffee ______ I prefer it with cream.
解析:while。根据句意可知,前后表示转折对比,故填while,意思是“而”。
3. 表示选择关系的连词有or, either ... or ..., not ... but ...等。例如:
Now you can either have a rest or you can go to the cinema.
【典例1】The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, ______ they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. (阅读理解改编)
解析:or。根据语境和句意可知,前后表示选择的意义,故填or,意思是“或者”。
【典例2】Nowadays when you turn on the radio, you either hear music, a talk show ______ news.
解析:or。根据句意可知,此处表示选择,并且构成either ... or ...,意思是“或者……或者……”。
4. 表示因果关系的连词有so, for 等。例如:
He found it increasingly difficult to read, for his eyesight was beginning to fail.
【典例1】I am not afraid of tomorrow, ______ I have seen yesterday and I love today.
解析:for。根据句意可知,前后句之间是因果关系,且表示“前果后因”,故填并列连词for。
【典例2】Some animals carry seeds from one place to another, ______ plants can spread to new places.
解析:so。设空处前后两个分句之间为因果关系,且表示“前因后果”,故填并列连词so。
二、状语从句
高考对状语从句的考查主要是考状语从句连词的选用和“连词+分词”的省略用法中分词的使用。
1. 引导时间状语从句的从属连词有when, whenever, as, while, before, after, until(till), since, as soon as等。
【典例1】Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty _____ a person has nothing to say.(阅读理解改编)
解析:when/if。根据句意和句子结构可知,空格处引导状语从句,表示“当……时”或“如果”,故填when或if。
【典例2】If you miss this chance, it may be years ______ you get another one.
解析:before。根据句意可知应填before,意思是“要过……才会”。
2. 引导原因状语从句的从属连词有because, since, as, now that等。
【典例】I really enjoy listening to music ______ it helps me relax and takes my mind away from other cares of the day.
解析:because。根据句意可知,后一句和前一句构成因果关系,故填because。
3. 引导地点状语从句的从属连词有where, wherever。
【典例】______ he once felt like giving up, he now has the determination to push further and keep on going.
解析:where。根据句意可知,曾经让他感到想放弃的地方,现在他决心继续前进。用where引导地点状语从句,指让他感到想放弃的地方。
4. 引导目的状语从句的从属连词有 (so) that, in order that, in case等。
【典例】Cathy had quit her job when her son was born _____ _____ she could stay home and raise her family.
解析:so; that。根据句意可知本句中应使用so that引导目的状语从句,从句中常常使用情态动词。
5. 引导结果状语从句的从属连词有so that, so / such…that...等。
【典例】Pop music is such an important part of society _______ it has even influenced our language.
解析:that。根据句意可知此处应填表示结果的连词。such...that...意思是“如此……以至于……”,构成固定搭配。
6. 引导条件状语从句的从属连词有if, once, so / as long as, as / so far as, unless等。
【典例1】You won’t find paper cutting difficult _____ ______ ______ you keep practicing it.
解析:as/so; long; as。根据句意可知,只要你不断练习,剪纸就不难。此处表示条件,意思是“只要”,故填as/so long as。
【典例2】_____the damage is done, it will take many years for the farmland to recover.
解析:Once。根据句意可知,此处表示条件,意思是“一旦”,故填once。
7. 引导让步状语从句的从属连词有though, although, while, as, even if / though等。
【典例1】My grandfather still plays tennis now and then, ______ ______ he’s in his nineties.
解析:even though/if。根据句意可知,爷爷虽然已经90多岁了,还时不时地打打网球。故填even though/if,意思是“尽管,虽然”。
【典例2】_______the students came from different countries, they got along quite well in the summer camp.
解析:Though / Although / While。根据句意可知,前后两句构成让步关系,故填引导让步状语的连词Though / Although / While。
【典例3】Much _______ I am fond of her, I can’t express myself in words.
解析:as/though。根据句式结构和句意可知,此处需填引导让步状语从句的连词,意思是“虽然,尽管”,并且使用了倒装语序,故填as或though。
8. 引导比较状语从句的从属连词有than, as…as...等。
【典例1】He speaks English well indeed, but of course not so fluently _______ a native speaker.
解析:as。根据句意可知,他英语说得不如当地人流利。此处构成not so…as...同级比较结构。
【典例2】He had no sooner finished his singing ________ the audience started cheering.
解析:than。根據句意和搭配可判断此处考查“no sooner...than...”句式,意思是“一……就……”。
9. 引导方式状语从句的从属连词有as, as if / though, just as等。
【典例】Just ______ a single word can change the meaning of a sentence, a single sentence can change the meaning of a paragraph.
解析:as。根據句意可知,此处表示“正如”的意思。just as可以引导方式状语从句,意思是“正如”。
10. 考查“连词+分词”的省略用法
分词短语常常可以用在某些连词,如since, when, while, whenever, no matter how, once, until, if等之后,这可以看作是状语从句中的省略现象。
【典例】Video games can be a poor influence if ______(leave) in the wrong hands.
解析:left。本题考查“连词+分词”的省略用法。当某些状语从句中的主语与主句的主语相同时,则从句的主语可省略,构成“连词+分词”的省略用法。本题中从句省略了与主句相同的主语Video games,其与动词leave含有逻辑上的被动关系,故填过去分词。补充完整为“...if they are left...”。

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
I seldom thought I had a passion. I would sit before the TV all day, thinking 1 nothing but the next shadow. It was not long ago 2 I first learned how important having a passion is to life.
One day I went with Mum to drop my sister off at the gym. Then, 3 Mum stopped at a red light, someone on the roadside caught my eyes. It was a man 4 (dress) in rags, homeless. That didn’t interest me, 5 I had seen many like him before. 6 the man wasn’t sitting down with a sad expression. He had a radio in his hand and was dancing merrily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious thing 7 he had.
“Mum, why does that man have a radio even 8 he’s homeless?” I asked.
“He bought it,” she replied.
“But 9 he’s homeless, why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn’t need.”
“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the only important things. We need happiness, too.”
“I see.” The man must care too much about music, 10 he bought a radio instead of food and clothes. I realized that happiness is the key to life. Without it, there’s nothing to look forward to. A passion gives a person the happiness they need to keep going!
