【解析】该题考查的是并列连词的用法。答语的意思是“你不要那样做,否则会发生事故的。”在这四个并列连词中,只有or含有这样的意思,所以应选B。
【答案】B
连词的功能
用来连接词,短语,从句或句子的词叫连词。连词是一种虚词,在句中不能单独使用。连词可分为两类:并列连词和从属连词。
二、考点剖析
并列连词
并列连词用来连接具有并列关系的词,短语或句子。常见的并列连词有:
(1)表并列关系的and, both…and, not only…but also, neither…nor等。
(2)表选择关系的or, either…or等。
(3)表转折关系的but, while等。
(4)表因果关系的for, so等。
从属连词
从属连词用来引导从句。常见的从属连词有:
(1)引导时间状语从句的after, before, when, while, as, until, till, since, as soon as等。
(2)引导条件状语从句的if, unless等。
(3)引导原因状语从句的because, as, since等。
(4)引导目的状语从句的so that, in order that等。
(5)引导让步状语从句的though, although, even if等。
(6)引导结果状语从句的so that, so…that, such…that等。
(7)引导比较状语从句的than, as…as等。
(8)引导宾语从句的that, if , whether等。
常用连词的用法辨析
1.while, when, as
这三个连词都可引导时间状语从句,但用法有所不同。
1) 当某事正在进行的时候,又发生了另一件事。while, when, as 都可用来引导表示“背景”的时间状语从句。例如:
As/When/While I was walking down the street I noticed a police car.
2) 当两个动作同时进行的时候,最常用的是while。例如:
While mother was cooking lunch, I was doing my homework.
3) 当两个动作都表示发展变化的情况时,最常用的是as。例如:
As children get older, they become more and more interested in things around them.
2.as, because, since , for
这四个词都可表原因,但用法有区别。
1) 如果原因构成句子的最主要部分,一般用because。因此,because引导的从句往往放在句末。例如:
I stayed at home because it rained.
---Why aren’t you going?
---Because I don’t want to.
2) 如果原因已被人们所知,或不如句子的其它部分重要,就用as或since。Since比as稍微正式一点。As和since 引导的从句一般放在句子的开头。
例如:As he wasn’t ready, we left without him.
Since I have no money, I can’t buy any food.
3) for用来补充说明一种理由,因此,for引导的从句几乎可以放在括号里。For引导的句子不放在句子的开头。例如:
I decided to stop and have lunch----for I was feeling quite hungry.
3.if, whether
if和whether都可作“是否”讲,在引导宾语从句时一般可互换。例如:
I wonder whether (if) you still study in that school.
I don’t know whether (if) he likes that film.
在下列情况下,只能用whether,不能用if:
1) 引导主语从句时。例如:
Whether he will come to the party is unknown.
2) 引导表语从句时。例如:The question is whether I can pass the exam.
3) 在不定式前。例如:
I haven’t made up my mind whether to go there or not.
4.so…that, such...that
1) so…that中的so是个副词,其后只能跟形容词或副词,而such...that中的such是个形容词,后接名词或名词短语。例如:
I’m so tired that I can’t walk any farther.
It was such a warm day that he went swimming.
2) 如果在名词之前有many, much, little, few时,用so,不用such。例如:
He has so little education that he is unable to get a job.
I have had so many falls that I am black and blue all over.
5.either…or…, neither…nor, not only…but also…
这三个连词词组都可连接两个并列成分。当它们连接两个并列主语时,谓语动词要随相邻的主语变化。(就近原则)例如:
Either you or he is wrong.
Neither he nor his children like fish.
Not only the teacher but also the students want to buy the book.
6.although, but
这两个连词不能用在同一个句子中。例如:我们不能说“Although he is over sixty, but he works as hard as others.”
这个句子应改为:
Although he is over sixty, he works as hard as others.
或He is over sixty, but he works as hard as others.
7.because, so
这两个连词同样不能用在同一个句子中。例如:我们不能说“Because John was ill, so I took him to the doctor.”
这个句子应改为
Because John was ill, I took him to the doctor.
或John was ill, so I took him to the doctor.
三、巩固提升
John fell asleep ________ he was listening to the music.
A. after B. before C. while D. as soon as
【解析】该题考查的是引导时间状语从句的常用从属连词的用法。本句的含义是“约翰在听音乐的时候睡着了。”表示在干某事时发生了某个事情” 通常用while。因此应选C。
【答案】C
