狀語從句是高考單項(xiàng)選擇必考題目之一,試題設(shè)計(jì)越來越靈活,設(shè)問角度多樣。要熟練掌握狀語從句的作用和意義,分清句子結(jié)構(gòu)和句子間的關(guān)系,熟悉設(shè)題陷阱,才能有的放矢。
陷阱一 利用狀語從句易混淆連接詞設(shè)干擾項(xiàng)
高考考查熱點(diǎn)在引導(dǎo)狀語從句的連詞上。引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句的連詞有:when, whenever, as, while, after, since, as soon as, till, until, hardly…when, no sooner…than, the moment, the minute, the instant, the day /the week /the year, every /each time, the first /second time, next time, immediately, instantly, directly等;
引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句的連詞有:because, as, since, now that, when;
引導(dǎo)地點(diǎn)狀語從句的連詞有:where, wherever;
引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句的連詞有:if, unless, so long as, on condition that, in case, while, suppose /supposing, provided /providing that 等;
引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句的連詞常有:although, though, as, even if/though, no matter how /what /where/when /who..., whatever, whoever, whenever, wherever, however等;
引導(dǎo)目的狀語從句的連詞有:so that…, in case, for fear that…, in order that…;
引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句的連詞有:so that, so…that, such…that…等;
引導(dǎo)比較狀語從句的連接詞有:as...as, than, the more…, the more…等。
1. You should make it a rule to leave things ______ you can find them again.
A. when B. where C. then D. which
解析:易誤選D。最佳選項(xiàng) B。where 在此引導(dǎo)地點(diǎn)狀語從句,其意為“(在)……的地方”。
2. He transplanted the little tree to the garden ______ it was the best time for it.
A. where B. when C. thatD. until
解析:易誤選A。最佳選項(xiàng)B。when 在此意思是“既然”、“考慮到”, when = since /considering that,實(shí)質(zhì)是表示一種原因。除上面提到的意思外,when 還可表示“當(dāng)……的時(shí)候”、“盡管”、“雖然”。
3. He went home for lunch ______ the clock struck twelve.
A. while B. immediately C. right awayD. at once
解析:易誤選A。最佳選項(xiàng)B。immediately用作連詞,意為“一……就……”,相當(dāng)于 as soon as。
陷阱二 利用相似句型加大迷惑性
常見句型有:It is + 時(shí)間點(diǎn) + when…, It is + 時(shí)間段+ since…, It was /will be + 時(shí)間段+ before…; such...that…, such…as…, so…that…; It is /was + 被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分+ that +其他
1. —Did Jack come back early last night?
—Yes. It was not yet eight o’clock ______ he arrived home.
A. before B. when C. that D. until

2. His plan was such a good one ______ we all agreed to accept it.
A. so B. and C. thatD. as
解析:易誤選D。最佳選項(xiàng)C。本題考查such….that引導(dǎo)的結(jié)果狀語從句。
3. It was after he got what he had desired ______ he realized it was not so important.
A. that B. when C. since D. as
解析:易誤選B。最佳選項(xiàng)A。本題考查強(qiáng)調(diào)句型,正常語序是:He realized it was not so important after he got what he had desired.
陷阱三 利用狀語從句中的時(shí)態(tài)、語態(tài)、語氣、語序、省略等設(shè)置干擾項(xiàng)
1. The old man runs very fast as if he ______ a young man.
A. is B. was C. were D. will be
解析:易誤選A。最佳選項(xiàng)C。考查as if 引導(dǎo)的狀語從句中,常用虛擬語氣,be動(dòng)詞用were。
2. ______ he has limited technical knowledge, the old worker has a lot of experience.
A. Since B. Unless C. AsD. Although
解析:易誤選C。最佳選項(xiàng)D。although引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句不倒裝,意為“盡管….”。as引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句應(yīng)倒裝,將從句中的表語、狀語或動(dòng)詞原形置于句首。若表語是名詞,前置時(shí)不帶冠詞。如:Child as he is, he knows a lot.
3. This is a very interesting book. I’ll buy it, ______.
A. how much may it cost B. no matter how it may cost
C. however much it may cost D. how may it cost
解析:易誤選B。最佳選項(xiàng)C??疾樽尣綘钫Z從句的語序:however + adj. /adv. +主語+謂語。此題答案也可以用 no matter how much it may cost。
4. ______ your composition carefully, some spelling mistakes can be avoided.
A. Having checked B. CheckC. If you check D. To check
解析:易誤選A。最佳選項(xiàng)C。非謂語動(dòng)詞作狀語時(shí),其邏輯主語應(yīng)與句子主語一致,此句的 some spelling mistakes 不是 having checked 或 to check 的邏輯主語,排除A和D;若選 B,則兩個(gè)句子之間缺少必要的連詞。
5. —Shall Mary come and play computer games?
—No, ______ she has finished her homework.”
A. when B. since C. unlessD. as soon as
解析:易誤選D。最佳選項(xiàng)C。此句為省略句,答句句首的 No,表明其后省略的是一個(gè)否定句,全句補(bǔ)充完整為:She can’t play computer games unless she has finished her homework.
陷阱四 狀語從句與其他從句、句型結(jié)合起來加大干擾
1. Because of the financial crisis, days are gone ______ local 5-star hotels charged 6,000 yuan for one night.
A. if B. when C. which D. since
解析:易誤選A。最佳選項(xiàng)B。when引導(dǎo)定語從句修飾days,并在定語從句中作時(shí)間狀語,句意為“因?yàn)榻鹑谖C(jī),當(dāng)?shù)匚逍羌?jí)賓館每晚收費(fèi)6000元的日子一去不復(fù)返了。”
2. It is said that a new school will be built ______ used to be an old temple.
A. where B. in the place where C. there where D. where there
解析:幾個(gè)干擾項(xiàng)均有可能誤選,易誤選A、B。最佳選項(xiàng)D。where引導(dǎo)地點(diǎn)狀語從句,表示“在……的地方”,而在從句中應(yīng)用there be句型。
3. It was ______ he came back Africa that year ______ he met the girl he would like to marry.
A. when; then B. not; until C. not until; that D. only; when
解析:易誤選A。最佳選項(xiàng)C??疾閺?qiáng)調(diào)句型中強(qiáng)調(diào)時(shí)間狀語not until he came back from Africa。
