状语从句是从句中的一大类,在考题中更是频繁出现,它的主要功能是作主句的状语,由完整的主谓句构成。状语从句和主句在语法上关系并不紧密,但在逻辑上是不可分割的
考点一 分类及主要引导词
1. 时间状语从句
主要引导词:when, whenever, before, after, until, while, since, once, so long as, as soon as, the moment, every time, as, next time
I will call you after I get to the company.
I don't call her until I get to the company.
Every time I feel lonely, she comes to talk to me.
2. 地点状语从句
主要引导词:where, wherever
Wherever you go, I will be right here waiting for you.
3. 原因状语从句
主要引导词:because, as, since, considering that, now that, not that, seeing that
注意:in that是书面语中原因状语从句的引导词,相当于because, 在填空题中曾经出现
Now that it is raining, we'd better cancal the meeting.
4. 目的状语从句
主要引导词:so that, in order that, for fear that, in case, lest
5. 结果状语从句
主要引导词:so…that, so that, such…that
注意:so…that句式和too…to句式的区别是重要考点之一,so…that接从句;too…to接不定式
The old lady is so generous that a lot of people admire her.
She is too young to resist it.
6. 条件状语从句
主要引导词:if, unless, in case, so long as, on condition (that), provided (that)
7. 让步状语从句
主要引导词:though, although, no matter, even if, even though, however, whatever
注意though, although等都不能够与but连用
例题:
(1)
Anthropology 1 is a science ----anthropologists use a rigorous set of methods and techniques to document observations that can be checked by others.
(A) in that
(B) that in
(C) that
(D) in
答案:A
解释:空白处前后均是完整的主谓句, 意思上后者是对前者的解释说明, 推知需填入从句引导词, in that是一特殊的状语从句引导词, 表示原因, 与此句意思吻合
(2)
Gorillas 2 are quiet animals, ----they are able to make about twenty different sounds.
(A) how
(B) in spite of
(C) because of
(D) even though
答案:D
解释:空白前后都是完整的主谓句,需填的一定是连词,可首先排除BC,A引导的宾语从句不能接在表语后,只有D正确,构成状语从句
考点二 状语从句中的省略
部分状语从句可以省略,在填空题中时有出现
如:Although defeated, he did not lose heart. (从句中省略了he was)
If informed timely, I wouldn't have missed the meeting. (从句中省略了I were)
例题:
(1)
----relatively costly 3, the diesel 4 engine is highly efficient and needs servicing infrequently
(A) Even
(B) It is
(C) Even though
(D) There is
答案:C
解释:逗号后是完整的句子, 缺少的可能是从句或状语的一部分, B、D是主谓结构, 肯定不对; A 是副词, 为甚至之意, 放在原句中讲不通; C 是尽管的意思, 实际上省略了状语从句的主谓语it is, 符合题意. 还需注意的是costly是形容词而不是副词
(2)
Although ---- rigid 5, bones exhibit a degree of elasticity 6 that enables the skeleton to withstand considerable impact.
(A) apparently
(B) are apparently
(C) apparently their
(D) are they apparently
答案:A
解释:although是让步状语从句引导词,空格处需要从句的主谓语,B缺少主语,D不应倒装,可先排除;their不能修饰形容词rigid,B也可排除;A是从句的省略式,相当于Although they are apparently rigid
