Q：下面這道選擇填空題為什么正確答案是C，而不是B？

my cousin is very young,she can help with the housework.

A.Once；不填B.Though；but C.Although；不填D.If；不填

A：此題的中文意思是：“雖然我表妹很年輕，但她會幫忙干家務(wù)了?！庇捎谑軡h語思維的影響，同學(xué)們很容易錯選B。英語中，although(though)“雖然”屬于從屬連詞，而but“但是”是并列連詞。把一個從句連接于主句，只用although(though)就夠了，不能再加but。如：

Although learning English is not easy,it is very interesting.學(xué)習(xí)英語雖然不容易，但是很有趣。

當(dāng)然保留but而去掉although(though)也是可以的。如：

He was tired,but he went on working.雖然他很累，但仍繼續(xù)干活。

注意：口語中although(though)可與yet,still連用，這時yet,still用作副詞。如：

Although(Though)it was raining,yet we still played football.盡管下雨，我們還是踢了足球。

【自我檢測】1.____Mike didn’t win the race,____he was still wearing a smile on his face.

Q：去年某市有這樣一道中考題，多數(shù)同學(xué)認(rèn)為應(yīng)該選B，結(jié)果正確答案是A。不知道為什么。

—Which is the longest river in China,the Changjiang River or the Yellow River？

—The Changjiang River.The Yellow River is____river in China.

A.the second longest B.the second longer C.a second longest D.the second long

A：這道題考查形容詞最高級。句意為：“中國最長的河流是哪條，長江還是黃河？”“長江。黃河是中國的第二長河”。句中由于用了序數(shù)詞second，有的同學(xué)認(rèn)為是兩者比較，所以誤選了B。此題的比較級范圍是in China，可知是最高級。注意“the+序數(shù)詞+最高級+名詞”，表示“第幾個最……的東西”。如：

1）It is becoming the third largest industrial city in the province.它正在成為這個省的第三大工業(yè)城市。

2）Tom is the second tallest in our class，but he is taller than any student in Class Three.湯姆在我們班第二高，但他比三班任何學(xué)生都更高。

【自我檢測】1.The building is____one in the world.

A.the third taller B.the third tallest C.the third tall D.a third tallest

2.Hainan is a very large island.It’s____island in China.

A.a second largest B.the second larger

C.the second largest D.the second large

Key:1.B2.C

Q：有一道選擇填空題，所給答案是A，怎樣理解before的用法？

—Did you catch the first subway this morning？

—No,I didn’t.It had started moving____I could get on it.

A.before B.since C.after D.as soon as

A：before用作連詞，連接時間狀語從句，其基本意思是“在……之前”,但是具體譯法視上下文而定。如果before與情態(tài)動詞can(could)連用，這時候從句雖為肯定形式，根據(jù)表達(dá)習(xí)慣要譯成“還沒來得及……就……”，強(qiáng)調(diào)從句動作發(fā)生之前，主句動作已發(fā)生。如：

Someone called me up in the middle of the night,they hung up before I could answer the phone.半夜里有人給我打電話，可是我還沒來得及接，電話就掛斷了。

She ran out before I could tell it to her.我還來不及把這件事告訴她，她就跑出去了。

此題句意為：“今天早上你趕上第一趟地鐵了嗎？”“沒，我沒趕上。我還沒來得及上車，車就開始動了”。選A。

【自我檢測】1.—Why didn’t you tell him about the meeting?

—He rushed out of the room____I could say a word.

A.before B.until C.when D.after

2.The old man died____I could send for a doctor.

A.because B.before C.since D.when

Key:1.A2.B
