典型高考英語陷阱題詳解•狀語從句
1. "May I go and play with Dick this afternoon, Mum?" "No, you can't go out _______ your work is being done."
A. before B. until
C. as???? D. the moment
【陷阱】容易誤選B,誤認為這是考查not...until...結(jié)構(gòu)。
【分析】最佳答案選 C。句中的 your work is being done 表明"你正在做作業(yè)",選 as 表原因。
2. "I'm going to the post office." "_______ you're there, can you get me some stamps?"
A. As B. While
C. Because D. If
【陷阱】容易誤選A。
【分析】最佳答案選 B。盡管 as 和 while 均可用作從屬連詞引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句,表示"當……的時候",但兩者有一個重要區(qū)別,就是這樣用的 as 從句的謂語不能是狀態(tài)動詞。當然,如果 as 不是表示"當……的時候",其謂語是完全可以用狀態(tài)動詞的。如:
I went to bed early, as I was exhausted. 我很累了,所以很早就上床睡了。(此句中的 as 表示原因,意為"因為"、"由于")
請做以下兩題,答案均選 while,不選as:
(1) _______ you are at home alone, please don't leave the door open.
A. While B. As
C. Before D. How
(2) _______ you are alone with her, tell her that you like her.

【陷阱】幾個干擾項均有可能誤選。
【分析】最佳答案選 C。when 在此的意思不是"當……的時候",而是"盡管"、"雖然"的意思。又如:
He walks when he might take a taxi. 盡管他可以坐出租車,但他卻走路。
He stopped trying when he might have succeeded next time. 盡管他本來下次就可以成功的了,但他卻停止努力了。
The boy was restless when he should have listened to the teacher carefully. 這男孩子本來應(yīng)該專心聽老師講的,但他卻坐立不安。
有許多同學(xué)只知道 when 表示"當……的時候",而不知道它還有其他許多意思,除上面提到的表示"盡管"、"雖然"外,when 還可表示"既然"、"考慮到"。請做下面的試題(答案選D):

A. that B. where
C. which D. when
5. He was about to tell me the secret ______ someone patted him on the shoulder.

【陷阱】幾個干擾項均有可能誤選。
【分析】最佳答案選 C。when 意為"這時(突然)",主要用于某一動作突然發(fā)生于另一動作正在進行或剛要發(fā)生之時。此時的 when 可以連用副詞 suddenly,也可以不連用它,但值得注意的是,同學(xué)們不能單獨用 suddenly 來代替 when,如下面各題的答案選A,不選B:

A. in case B. so that
C. in order that D. when
【陷阱】幾個干擾項均有可能誤選。
【分析】最佳答案選 A。in case 起連詞作用,用以引導(dǎo)狀語從句,主要有兩種意思:一是表示條件,意為"如果"、"萬一";二是表示"目的",意為"以防"、"免得"。如以下各題也都選 in case:
(1) ________ I forget, please remind me about it.

A. Having checked B. Check
C. If you check D. To check
【陷阱】幾個干擾項均有可能誤選,尤其可能誤選A。
【分析】最佳答案選 C。前面一個分句為條件狀語從句,后面一個分句為主語?,F(xiàn)分析幾個干擾項:選項 A 和 D 均為非謂語動詞,根據(jù)英語語法習(xí)慣,非謂語動詞作狀語時,其邏輯主語應(yīng)與句子主語一致,而此句的 some spelling mistakes 顯然不能用作 having checked 或 to check 的邏輯主語,故不能選為答案;若選 B,則兩個句子之間缺少必要的連詞,也不對。請做類似試題(答案均選 C):
(1) ________ more careful, the work might have been done better.
