由條件狀語從句和主句構(gòu)成的復(fù)合句稱之為條件句,分真實(shí)性條件句和非真實(shí)性條件句兩種。高考常從以下四個(gè)方面對(duì)其進(jìn)行考查。
熱點(diǎn)一 根據(jù)前后句邏輯關(guān)系,選擇引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句的從屬連詞
1.引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句常見的從屬連詞有if,unless,in case,on condition that,as(so) long as,if only,only if等。例如:
①—Did you meet with the famous film star?
—If only I had come here earlier.
②I will go with you only if it stays fine tomorrow.
2.引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句較為特殊的從屬連詞的用法。
①provided/providing (that)用于真實(shí)情況,表示某事肯定會(huì)發(fā)生或一定真實(shí)的時(shí)候另一事件才會(huì)發(fā)生,用法同only if。例如:
Provided the weather is fine,well go on rides.
②supposing/suppose (that)表示“假設(shè),假定;萬一……怎么辦(同what if...?)”。例如:
Supposing you lost your way,what should you do?
Its not worth the risk,suppose your mother found out.
③but作從屬連詞,用于否定句中,表示“無一例外地”。例如:
Never does a day pass but we need food.
3.從屬連詞unless,in case,if,as long as,once為歷年高考重點(diǎn),屬高考高頻詞匯,應(yīng)重點(diǎn)把握。注意高考會(huì)結(jié)合省略、非謂語動(dòng)詞在非限定分句“從屬連詞when/unless/once+v-ed/v-ing形式”中加強(qiáng)對(duì)連詞的考查。例如:
①Unless youve tried it,you cant imagine how pleasant it is.
②I always take something to read when I go to the doctors in case I have to wait.
③I am sure that Lauras latest play,once staged,will prove a great success.
④Small sailboats can easily turn over in the water if they are not managed carefully.
4.表示條件的從屬連詞as long as,if,unless,once用法區(qū)別。
①as long as用法和only if/on condition that相同,強(qiáng)調(diào)某事的發(fā)生以另一事件的發(fā)生為前提。例如:
As long as I know the money is safe,I shall not worry about it.
②if為正面條件,可能會(huì)產(chǎn)生好的或壞的結(jié)果,若某種條件產(chǎn)生壞的結(jié)果,此時(shí)的if可用as long as替換。例如:
I would appreciate it if you call back this afternoon for the doctors appointment.
③unless為反面條件,表示“除非,如果不”,故在真實(shí)條件句中常和if...not...換用。例如:
I wont call you,unless something unexpected happens.
④once既表時(shí)間,又包含條件,譯作“一旦”。例如:
You will be successful in the interview once you have confidence.
熱點(diǎn)二 真實(shí)條件句中時(shí)態(tài)的選用
1.描述基本事實(shí),在if/in case引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句中,從句用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)代替將來時(shí),也可使用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)或現(xiàn)在完成時(shí),主句使用“將來時(shí)或情態(tài)動(dòng)詞+動(dòng)詞原形”。例如:
①—What would you do if it rains tomorrow?
—We have to carry it on,since weve got everything ready.
②In such dry weather,the flowers will have to be watered if they are to survive.
2.描述客觀真理、事實(shí)或習(xí)慣性動(dòng)作時(shí),主從句皆用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),此時(shí)if相當(dāng)于whenever;若表示過去習(xí)慣性動(dòng)作,主從句皆用一般過去時(shí)。例如:
Salt is broken down easier if you put it in the hot water.
3.表意愿或委婉語氣,從句使用情態(tài)動(dòng)詞will/would/should,后接動(dòng)詞原形,主句時(shí)態(tài)不定。例如:
If everyone wont agree,we have to consider the plan again.
If you should have any difficulty finding me,ring me at the number I gave you.
熱點(diǎn)三 非真實(shí)條件句中虛擬語氣的用法
1.對(duì)現(xiàn)在的假設(shè)。從句用過去時(shí)(be動(dòng)詞一律用were),主句用would/should+do。例如:
If it were not for the fact that she cant sing,I would invite her to the party.
2.對(duì)過去的假設(shè)。從句用had done,主句用would/should+have done。例如:
You didnt let me drive.If we had driven in turn,you wouldnt have got so tired.
Look at the trouble I am in!If only I had followed your advice.
3.對(duì)將來的假設(shè)。從句用were to+do或should+do,主句用would/should+do。從句使用上述兩種形式時(shí),實(shí)現(xiàn)可能性不同。were to +do句型實(shí)現(xiàn)可能性最小,也較正式;should+do句型實(shí)現(xiàn)可能性最大。例如:
Should you be fired,your health care and other benefits will not be immediately cut off.
4.混合條件句虛擬語氣的用法。若if從句和主句所表示的時(shí)間不一致,主從句使用的虛擬語氣形式由主從句所表示的時(shí)間確定。做題時(shí)重視短語的暗示作用,如as if,but for,if only,even if,otherwise等。例如:
He hesitated for a moment before kicking the ball,otherwise he would have scored a goal.
It is hard for me to imagine what I would be doing today if I had not fallen in love,at the age of seven,with the Melinda Cox Library in my hometown.
熱點(diǎn)四 條件句句式結(jié)構(gòu)的識(shí)別及轉(zhuǎn)化
1.條件句兩種常見句型
①if 從句(謂語用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí))+祈使句。例如:
—May I smoke here?
—If you must,choose a seat in the smoking section.
②if 從句(謂語用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí))+主句(謂語用將來時(shí))。例如:
If it rains tomorrow,we just stay at home,watching TV.
2.條件句與祈使句的相互轉(zhuǎn)化
常見祈使句式:動(dòng)詞原形或名詞詞組+and/or/but+謂語(用將來時(shí)或情態(tài)動(dòng)詞+do)。祈使句與if條件句轉(zhuǎn)化關(guān)系為:
①do...,and you will/wont do=If you do...,you will/wont do...
Lose one hour in the morning and you will be looking for it the rest of the day.
轉(zhuǎn)化為:If you lose one hour in the morning,you will be looking for it the rest of the day.
②do...,or you will do=If you dont do...,you will do...
Start out right away,or youll miss the first train.
轉(zhuǎn)化為:If you dont start out right away,youll miss the first train.
3.條件句的省略
①帶連詞的非限定分句型,即 “連詞+v-ed/v-ing”型省略。注意省略條件,即前后邏輯主語一致,且從句中含有be動(dòng)詞,將主語和be動(dòng)詞一并省略,只保留連詞。高考常結(jié)合非謂語動(dòng)詞對(duì)考生進(jìn)行考查,構(gòu)成“連詞+v-ed/v-ing”形式。例如:
—If turned down a second time,will the man have one more try?
—Im sure he will.
②帶連詞的無動(dòng)詞分句型,即“if+其他”型省略。if 條件句中的省略,如if any/ever/necessary以及if so/not等,其中if ever表頻度,而if much和if any表數(shù)量。例如:
As far as I know,she seldom,if ever,goes down town to visit her friend.
4.only條件句及if條件句的倒裝
①虛擬語氣中不用if時(shí)采用倒裝,將助動(dòng)詞提至句首即可。例如:
What would have happened had Bob walked further,as far as the river bank?
②only置于句首,強(qiáng)調(diào)狀語時(shí),將主句助動(dòng)詞提至主語之前;注意高考常結(jié)合動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)、語態(tài)對(duì)考生進(jìn)行綜合考查。例如:
Only then did she realize how much damage had been caused.
Only after my friend came was the computer repaired.
5.what if...,how about if...,how come的區(qū)別
what if...后接從句,謂語動(dòng)詞使用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)表將來,譯作“萬一……怎么辦或……怎么樣”,表假設(shè)或征詢對(duì)方的意見;how about if同what if,用以詢問對(duì)方的意見;how come(that)后接從句,表示對(duì)已發(fā)生事件的疑惑,譯作“怎么會(huì)”。試比較:
We have so much work to do.What if he doesnt come?
我們有很多工作要做,萬一他不來怎么辦?
We have so much work to do.How come he hasnt come?
我們有很多工作要做,他怎么會(huì)到現(xiàn)在還不來呢?
What if/How about if we go to the concert after dinner?
吃過晚飯去欣賞音樂怎么樣
