答案与解析

1.答c. 这里的before 意为“过了（多久）才---”。本句意为“这本书我找了两天才找到”。其他选项中，a项最具迷惑性， 但此项不对，因为在until/not---until 的句型中，until 前面一般不接表示具体的一段时间状语，而此题中有for two days 的具体时间状语。
2.答b. 本句的语意为：无论学生什么时候做错事，他都要惩罚他们。However 后一般跟形容词或副词。whatever 也不对，因为从句中已经有了anything wrong, 如要用whatever, 应说成whatever wrong they did. 如果选用whichever, 就要有一定的范围。如：You can take whichever of them.
3.答a. 根据题意只能选a.
4.答d. hardly ---when 是固定用法，表示“一---就---”
5.答a. no sooner---than---是固定用法，表示“一---就---”
6.答b. 只有until 才符合题意：你不能看电视直到你做完你的作业。
7.答d. scarcely---when----=hardly---when
8.答c. 注意本句的时态， 从句中用过去时，主句中用现在完成时， 所以只能选择c. 本句意为“自从她去另一城市工作以来，我们再也没见过她”
9.答 a. 解析同上。
10.答b. be about to do ---when--- 是常用固定结构，表示“正要---就在这时---”
11.答a. the moment ---在此作as soon as 解。
12.答c. 从应答语“No”中得到暗示： 当他到达车站时，汽车已开走了。
13.答a. 从答语 I don’t know what to do first中得到暗示：只有当他来了以后我才可以开始工作。
14.答d. where 引导状语从句，表示“在---的地方”
15答a. as 在本句中意为“因为“， for 引导的原因状语从句一般不放在句首。
16.答b. 四个选项中只有b项while 才可作“当---时候 ”解。
17答a. in order that 引导目的状语从句，“为了，以便”；in case “万一” 与题意不符；
for fear that “惟恐” 也与句意不符; now that “既然” , 也与句意不符, 而且它引导的从句往往在句首.
18.答d. a项(though) 与句意的逻辑不符; 如用b项(if),则原句的主从句时态不符合逻辑;
c项(even if)也与句意的逻辑不符; 本句的语意是: 因为我们是被邀请参加晚会的, 所以我们穿上了我们最好的衣服.
19.答b. 原句的提问是 “how soon” “再过多久”,往往用于将来时, 所以在答语中表示一段时间后要用 “in +一段时间”
20.答c. as long as/so long as/ on condition that---都表示 “只要”
能力提高题
1. 答b. while 在此表示“尽管，虽然” 相当于although/though. 又如： while(she is ) respected, she is not liked.
1. 答b. 本题的关键词是横线后的形容词great. however great it is =no matter how great it is. What 和whatever 后都不能直接跟形容词或副词； how 后可以跟形容词或副词， 但为本句的句法所不容。
2. 答a. as “就像” “就如同” , 后接方式状语从句.其他选项均与原题意不符.
3. 答c. 本句相当于: No matter where we went, we found people friendly.
4. 答d. 本题是从结果推断出原因, 不是表示直接的从原因导致结果, 故选 for.
5. 答d. 本题中的it 指时间. it 指时间外还可指天气, 环境, 距离等. 又如: They live on a busy main road. It must be very noisy.
6. 答d. when 在本题中的意思是：在---的情况下。本题意为: 在你已经找到了一份好工作的情况下，你为什么还要另找工作呢?
7. 答d. 答语中的关键词是：great(太棒了); It was years since I had enjoyed myself so much的语意是： 我好几年没这样开心过了。
8. 答c. the first time 相当于when ---for the first time. 选项a 少了定冠词the. 选项b只能作为状语 如：In Oct,1968 I met him for the first time. 选项d (by the time) 虽然后可接从句， 但主句的时态应用过去完成时，而且也与原意不符。本题意为：当我第一次遇见她的时候，我就认为她很好，很老实。
9. 答b. 本句是where 引导的让步状语从句， 相当于 at the place where---.
10. 答c. 本题的关键词是may. “John 今天会打电话来。（所以）我今天不想出去万一他打电话来。” 其他选项均与题意不符.
11. 答d. 本题考查however 引导的让步状语从句. 通常用这样的句型:
However +adj/adv + 从句主语+谓语, + 主句
如: However tired he was, he went on working.
=No matter how tired he was, he went on working.
12. 答b. 本题的语意是: 我想我情愿星期五去, 如果对你来说是一样的话.
13. 答c. Whether we can get enough money = No matter whether we can get enough money or not. “ 无论我们是否能搞到足够的钱,我们都得进行下去.
14. 答d. “在我接电话之前, 他就把电话挂断了”
15. 答c. 本题中有两个句型 :
It’s/has been + 一段时间 +since sb did sth.(自从---以来已经---时间了)
It will be +一段时间+before sb do sth.( 再过多久才---)
应答语中的第一个since 作 “因为”解.
16. 答c. for fear that “惟恐;担心”. 本题中的其他选项不符合原意逻辑.
17. 答d. 本题的提示语是 “ It’s none of my business.” “这不关我的事”. 表示无论怎样我都不会帮你的. 所以选择有让步意义的even if 为最佳答案. “即使你告诉了我事情的真相, 我也不会帮你的.”
18. 答a. immediately 是个连词, 相当于 as soon as/ the moment/ directly等.
19. 答c. 本句的应答语是省略句, 相当于: Sorry, you can’t join us in the game unless you have finished your homework.
高考冲刺题
1.答c. as it is 是个固定短语, “ 根据现在/这时情况看; 就现在这样子”
又如: We were hoping to have a holiday next week--- as it is , we may not be able to get away.
我们一直盼望下星期放假--- 看样子,走不了了.
2.答c. 本句为省略句, 补充完整为: Their test, though (it was ) light as a feather, remained firm in the storm last night. 选项a 语法上成立, 但与题意不符; 选项b(even) 不能作为连词使用来引导从句; 选项d(if) 语法上成立, 但与题意不符.
3.答a. the moment = as soon as / the moment/ directly 是连词 “一---就—.” 选项b 不能作连词引导从句. 如用c项 until ,原句应改为: He didn’t leave until you turned back to write on the blackboard. 选项d 意思根本不对。
4.答b. 本题可转换为： In France dogs can go to any place where their owners can (go) because people there love pets very much. 此题中的anywhere = to any place where . 正如 where 引导状语从句时，相当于： to/in the place where--- 一样。其他选项中，最具迷惑性的是a 项 no matter where---,此项不能选择，是因为 no matter where---只能引导让步状语从句，但它不具有to/in any place where---之意。
5.答d. although 不能用于倒装结构，所以排除b项。a项中的词序不对， 应为although he much loves her ; c 项尽管在语法上正确（因为他很爱她），但是与原句的语意是不符合的。
6.答c. 本题是从结果推断出原因, 不是表示直接的从原因导致结果, 故选 for.
7.答d. 本题的语意是：别人是弱项的地方，他是强项。
8.答c. “It is/will be +一段时间+before ---” 表示“过（多长时间）就/才会---”。
本题的语意“他过了几秒钟就回来了”
9.答d. so long as =as long as “只要”
10.答a. “even if ”表示让步。“即使我们失败十次， 我们也不放弃。”
11.答b.是“我要把这幅画挂在我看得到的地方，因为它总是能使我想起我在伦顿的大学时光。”
12.答c. 本句是省略回答：I am sure I have met him before unless I am mistaken.
13. 答b. “in case” 在此“以防万一”，本题的语意是“我认为我不需要用钱， 但是我还是会带一些的，以防万一。”其余选项中最具迷惑性的是 “at last” “最终”，但at last 常常表示“经过一段时间的等待或曲折，最后， 终于”。又如：
　 By heavens! It’s raining at last! (天哪！终于下雨了)
　 I am happy to meet you at last.
14.答a. 应答语的语意是“这个周末我什么时候有空，我暂时不清楚”。注意：本句中宾语从句提前（when 引导的从句在本题中是宾语从句），正常语序为：I am not sure at the moment when I will be have time.
15. 答b. 本题的关键是要搞清楚：
“It is +一段时间＋since ---(瞬间动词)　与It is +一段时间＋since –(延续性或状态性动词)”的不同含义。前者表示“自从那个动作的开始以来”，而后者则表示“自从那个动作的结束以来”。本题的应答语语意为“不，谢谢，　我戒酒以来已三年了”
16.答b.　　本题的语意是“John 敲门敲了无分钟他的妻子才来开门。” 其他选项中，c项最具迷惑性， 但此项不对，因为在until/not---until 的句型中，until 前面一般不接表示具体的一段时间状语，而此题中有for nearly five minutes 的具体时间状语。
17. 答b.这里的when相当于and at that time或and then, 是个并列连词。具有这种用法时是as/while 所无法替代的。如选用after, 则就会发现原句中的主从句时态相矛盾。
18.答a. 本句是同级比较的否定结构，not so/as---as---; 本句意为：他的成功多靠他的努力，而不是天才。
19. 答d. as 引导的时间状语从句，更突出强调“随着”“一边---一边”，如用when或while 则无此效果。
20.答d. 本题的关键词是“better”，表示一个过程；本句相当于：The more we looked at the oil painting, the more we liked it.
