高考英語中最常考的狀語從句有哪些
狀語從句是高考英語的必考考點,綜觀近年來各省市狀語從句的考題情況,我們發現以下八類狀語從句特別值得關注:
一、in case引導的狀語從句
根據語境的不同,in case既可表示“如果”“萬一”,引導條件狀語從句;也可表示“以防***萬一***”,引導目的狀語從句。下面兩道真題均選in case:
1. Leave your key with a neighbor ______ you lock yourself out one day. ***北京卷***
A. ever since B. even if C. soon after D. in case
2. My parents live in a small village. They always keep candles in the house ______ there is a power cut. ***重慶卷***
A. if B. unless C. in case D. so that
【解析】兩道題都選in case,均表示“以防萬一”。
二、before引導的狀語從句
尤其要注意“it+be+一段時間+before…”這一句型。如:
1. The field research will take Joan and Paul about five months; it will be a long time ______ we meet them again. ***安徽卷***
A. after B. before C. since D. when
2. He was told that it would be at least three more months ______ he could recover and return to work. ***江西卷***
A. when B. before C. since D. that
【解析】兩道題均before。第1題涉及的句式為:It will be a long time before…,意思是“要過很久才會……”;第2題涉及的句式為:it was some time before…,意思是“在……之前過了一段時間”,通常可轉譯為“要過一段時間才會……”。
三、while引導的狀語從句
尤其要注意while表示“儘管”“雖然”時的用法***此時它引導的不是時間狀語從句,而是讓步狀語從句——此用法許多同學並不熟悉,值得特別注意!***。如:
______ I really don’t like art, I find his work impressive. ***山東卷***
A. As B. Since C. If D. While
【解析】答案選D。while在此表示“儘管”“雖然”,又如:While the work was difficult, it was interesting. 儘管工作有難度,但很有趣。/While I understand what you say, I can’t agree with you. 雖然我理解你的意思,但我還是不同意。
另外,while表示對比的用法也值得注意***此時它表示“而”***。如:
The cost of living in Glasgow is among the lowest in Britain, ______ the quality of life is probably one of the highest. ***天津卷***
A. since B. when C. as D. while
四、when引導的狀語從句
對於when的用法,同學們最熟悉的是表示“當……的時候”。如:
—Where’s that report?
—I brought it to you ______ you were in Mr. Black’s office yesterday. ***北京卷***
A. if B. when C. because D. before
【解析】答案選B。將四個選項逐一填入空格處,只有填when時,意思最通順。句意為:當你昨天在布萊克先生辦公室時我就帶給你了。
但是when還有一個用法,就是表示“既然”。如:
Why do you want a new job ___D___ you’ve got such a good one already?
A. that B. where C. which D. when
還有一點也需注意,就是when表示“這時***突然***”的用法。如:
1. I had just stepped out of the bathroom and was busily drying myself with a towel ___B___ I heard the steps. ***湖南卷***
A. while B. when C. since D. after
2. He was about halfway through his meal ___C___ a familiar voice came to his ears. ***遼寧卷***
A. why B. where C. when D. while
五、unless引導的狀語從句
unless的意思是“如果不……”“除非”,對於涉及unless的考題,一般只要能讀懂句意,弄清語境,一般不會有問題。如:
1. Most birds find it safe to sleep in the trees, but ______ they have eggs or young chicks, they don’t use a nest. ***湖南卷***
A. why B. how C. unless D. where
2. I won’t call you, ______ something unexpected happens. ***全國I***
A. unless B. whether C. because D. while
【解析】兩道題都選unless,均表示“除非”。
六、until引導的狀語從句
until的意思是“直到……時”“在……之前”,對於涉及until的考題,一般只要能讀懂句意,弄清語境,一般不會有問題。如:
It is difficult for us to learn a lesson in life ___A___ we’ve actually had that lesson. ***天津卷***
A. until B. after C. since D. when
另外,還要注意not…until…這一句式***直到……才***。如:江蘇高考網
“You can’t have this football back ___D___ you promise not to kick it at my cat again,” the old man said firmly. ***廣東卷***
A. because B. since C. when D. until
