Adverbial clauses with -ever and no matter
-ever 和 no matter引导的状语从句
1. No matter how many crimes he committed, the police were powerless to arrest him.
2. However they adapt to our ways of urban living, it's important
that we get a better understanding of and even learn to appreciate our wild neighbours.

Find out adverbial clauses with -ever and no matter in the
reading passage.
a Wherever they go, animals find towns and cities in their way.
b Animals always find towns and cities in their way as they go.
1 What's the difference between the sentences in each group
The difference between the sentences in each group is that sentences (a) and (c) are more emphatic. Sentences (b) and (d) state facts without any particular emphasis.
c No matter how many crimes he committed, the police were powerless to arrest him.
d Even though he committed many crimes, the police were powerless to arrest him.
Look at the sentences and answer the questions. Sentences(a) and (c) are from the reading passage.
1
They both mean that something is true or happens in all circumstances.
The author uses sentences (a) and (c) to stress that animals cannot avoid towns and cities encroaching upon their habitats,
and that the police had no power to arrest the thief, regardless of his crimes.
2 What is the meaning of -ever and no matter Why does the author choose to use sentences (a) and (c)
3 What other words can be combined with -ever and no matter to form adverbial clauses
whoever no matter who whenever no matter when
whichever no matter which wherever no matter where
whatever no matter what however no matter how
whomever no matter whom
“疑问词+ -ever”和“no matter+疑问词”的语义相同，都意为“无论……，不管……”，在句中起强调、加强语气的作用。
Adverbial clauses with -ever and no matter
①“疑问词+ -ever”引导主语从句或宾语从句时，从句要用陈述语序; 引导让步状语从句时要用一般时来表示将来。
例: However late she is, I will wait for her.
无论多晚，我都会等她。
例 1：Whoever breaks the law, will be punished.
无论谁违法，都会受到惩罚。
例 2：Wherever you go, I'll follow you.
无论你去哪儿，我都会跟着你。
② however 引导让步状语从句时，从句结构为: however +形容词/副词+主语+谓语。
③ 有时候还可以省略从句中的be动词及相应的主语。
例：I'd rather have a room of my own, no matter how small (it is), than share with others.
无论房间多小，我都想拥有自己的房间，而不是跟别人合住。
④“疑问词+ -ever” 和“no matter+疑问词”一般不与why连用，表示“无论什么原因”时一般用whatever the reason结构。
例：Whatever the reason, you should apologise.
无论是什么原因，你都应该道歉。
⑤“疑问词+-ever”和“no matter+疑问词”在任何情况下都能相互替换吗
不能。
“疑问词+ -ever”可以分为两种类型:
(1)“疑问副词+ -ever”，比如，wherever, whenever, however。“疑问副词+ -ever”一般情况下只能引导让步状语从句，和“no matter +疑问副词”可以相互替换。
例: Whenever I visited her, she was busy with her work.
= No matter when I visited her, she was busy with her work.
(2)“疑问代词+ -ever”，比如，whatever, whichever, whoever, whomever。“疑问代词+ -ever”既可以引导让步状语从句，又可以引导名词性从句。引导让步状语从句时，“疑问代词+ -ever”可以和“no matter+疑问代词”相互替换。
例: Whoever comes to the party, he will receive a gift.
= No matter who comes to the party, he will receive a gift.
⑤“疑问词+-ever”和“no matter+疑问词”在任何情况下都能相互替换吗
(3) 特殊情况：
引导名词性从句时，只能用“疑问代词+ -ever”，不能用“no matter +疑问代词”。

At age of 12, Jane was diagnosed with a rare and deadly cancer, and was informed that high-risk surgery was her only chance of getting better. Jane received the surgery, and things got extremely hard during the two-year treatment that followed--she couldn’t even remember how many times she was rushed to the ICU. However, she never gave up hope and, thankfully, she survived. Shortly after recovery, she decided to help find out the cause of this disease. In doing so, she took an internship at a medical lab, despite being quite busy with her schoolwork, and invited people to donate tissue samples for research purposes everwhere she went. She is determined to live a fulfilling life regardless of what the future holds, and to try her best to help patients with this cancer recover in spite of the various difficulties she might face.

Exercises
Facing crisis
There is a very exciting book called The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, whose theme is about survival. Have you read it before Can you remember some stories in that book
Before listening
Listen to the conversation and choose the ideas NOT conveyed by the speakers.
1. The story of Robinson Crusoe is a very sad survival story.
2. It takes great patience for Robinson Crusoe to survive on the island.
3. Robinson Crusoe is a clever and optimistic man.
4. Robinson Crusoe’s words are good suggestions when we are faced with
a crisis.
5. The most important reason for Robinson Crusoe’s survival is his calmness.
While-listening
Woman: Richard, are you familiar with the story of Robinson Crusoe
Man: Of course, it's a very famous story of survival.Woman: So what do you think helps Crusoe get through a hard life on a small island for 28 years
Man: Well, the way I see it, one important thing for his survival is his calmness in the face of the difficult situation. Finding himself alone on an island, he doesn't lose his head, but gets necessary things, such as guns, tools and food from the ship, before it is completely destroyed by a storm.Woman: I can't agree more. And personally, I think he is also very wise, and he actively seeks ways to solve problems. Just as you mentioned, with his gun and the rice, he can hunt for and grow his own food.

Man: Yes, I think you are right. I am also amazed by how knowledgeable he is. He knows to live in a cave and build a fence to keep himself safe. And he can make a fire by rubbing pieces of wood together. That's pretty clever. What's your take on this Woman: I think so, too. And what about when he makes tools, such as spades out of wood and cups out of clay Remember He even makes his own clothes by sewing animal skins together. Without those things, he would have had a much harder time there!
Man: That's true. But to me, his patience and perseverance also play a vital part in his survival. I'm quite impressed when he takes 18 whole days to widen and deepen his cave with simple tools made of wood. And what surprises me more is that when the
2
cave is ruined by a sudden fall of earth, he doesn't feel depressed, but quickly redoes the work, using wooden posts to make the cave stronger than before.Woman: Yes, I see what you're getting at. And I believe that also reveals his positive attitude. He says,"I learned to look more upon the bright side of my condition, and less upon the dark side, and to consider what I enjoyed rather than what I wanted." That's quite inspiring.
Man: And it's really good advice we should all follow in the face of a crisis.

Man: That's true. But to me, his patience and perseverance also play a vital part in his survival. I'm quite impressed when he takes 18 whole days to widen and deepen his cave with simple tools made of wood. And what surprises me more is that when the cave is ruined by a sudden fall of earth, he doesn't feel depressed, but quickly redoes the work, using wooden posts to make the cave stronger than before.

Woman: Richard, are you familiar with the story of Robinson Crusoe
Man: Of course, it's a very famous story of survival.Woman: So what do you think helps Crusoe get through a hard life on a small island for 28 years
Man: Well, the way I see it, one important thing for his survival is his calmness in the face of the difficult situation. Finding himself alone on an island, he doesn't lose his head, but gets necessary things, such as guns, tools and food from the ship, before it is completely destroyed by a storm.Woman: I can't agree more. And personally, I think he is also very wise, and he actively seeks ways to solve problems. Just as you mentioned, with his gun and the rice, he can hunt for and grow his own food.
