短语1： by accident 偶然地;意外地

单词1：hear 听见；听到
hear 作动词，意为“听见；听到”，强调听的结果。其常用结构：
hear sb. doing sth. 听见某人正在做某事
hear sb. do sth. 听见某人做某事
I at the door. 我听到有人在敲门

A. singing ; singin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g B. singing ; sing C. sing ; sing D. sing ; singing
语法讲解：
结果状语从句和让步状语从句
1. so…that…引导的结果状语从句
so…that…结构的意思是“太……以至 于……”。so后面接形容词或副词, 表示程度, that后接从句表示这一程度造成的影响或结果。
e.g. We were so noisy that our next-door neighbour came to complain.
我们太吵了, 以致隔壁邻居前来抱怨。
I was so careless ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that I forgot something important. 我真是粗心, 以致忘记了重要的事情。
He speaks so fast that I cannot understand him. 他说话太快了, 以致我没理解他的意思。
2. 让步状语从句
although引导的让步状语从句, 表示“尽管……, (但是)……”。
e.g. I can look after myself, although it won’t be easy for me.
我还是可以照顾自己的, 虽然这对我来说不容易。
Although Kevin is alone, he is very happy at first.
尽管凯文独自一人(在家), 但他刚开始还是挺高兴的。
让步状语从句也可以由though引导 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), 表示表示“尽管……, (但是)……”。在一般情况下, 可以与由although引导的让步状语从句互换使用。在口语中, though较为常用。
e.g. He went on fighting, though he was wounded. 尽管受了伤, 他还是继续战斗。
注意: 汉语中“虽然/尽管”与“但是”往往同时使用, 但在英语中却不是这样。
e.g. I do not often make dinner, but I can cook. 我不经常做饭, 但是我会做。
Although I do not often make dinner, I can cook. 虽然我不经常做饭, 但是我会做。
对比这两个句子可以看出, 在英语中，although与but通常是不能同时使用的。
巩固练习：
一． 用“although, so…that… , but” 填空
1. I can look after myself,________ it won’t be easy for me.
2. ________ they loved me, I felt a bit unhappy with them.
