职称英语考试语法复习指导:让步状语从句
英语课
让步状语从句:
主要连接词:although 1 (虽然)/ even 2 if (though) (即使)/ while 3 (尽管)后两个是考试的重点。no matter what… (= whatever无论…什么…) / no matter how… (=however 4, 无论怎样…) / whether 5…or not (不论…还是…)这是让步句考试的重点。
例如:
No matter what (或Whatever) may happen, we will not change our plan 6. (无论可能发生什么,我们决不改变计划。)
No matter how difficult (或However difficult) the journey 7 may be, we will not change our plan. (不管路程有多难,我们决不改变计划。)
We should not worry her whether she is well or ill (或whether she is ill or not)。(无论她身体好坏,我们都不应使她烦恼。)
注意:no matter what后面跟名词或名词性结构;no matter how后面跟形容词或副词,不要搞错;用了no matter what / no matter how就不能再用whatever / however.
5) 比较状语从句:
这是英语语法必考内容,要特别加以重视。
基本概念:两个比较级,三个或三个以上最高级。要对数字“2”特别敏感,试选择:
Of Mary and Jane, who is ______?
A. smart B.the smartest
C. more smarter D.the smarter
解题思路:很显然这是一道考形容词比较级的题目,从句子结构和选题A可以判断smart是个形容词原级,因此可以断定C的形式错了(重复比较,如不能说 more happier 一样的道理)。B是最高级,但句中只有两个人Mary 和Jane,因此正确答案只能是D,这是一个较特殊的比较级句型,即the + 形容词比较级 + of (两个)。
比较级的主要句型:
(1) 原级比较:as 8 +形容词或副词原级+ as, 否定式:not so (或as) +形容词或副词原级+ as
注意问题:as…as 之间的形容词或副词是否采用了原级;as…as 之间该用形容词还是副词;用as much as 还是用as many as
表示倍数时用下面结构, 如3倍:three times as …as…
例如:
The size 9 of the island is about ______ that of this one.
A.three times as much as B.as three times much as
C.as three times greater than D.three times as big as
解题思路:B、C违反了上述句型规定,A、D的区别是size(大小 / 尺寸)是与much搭配还是与big搭配,D是对的。
