答案解析(1)

答案详解

1. A. 因为gave后面已经有表示物的直接宾语了，排除代词A、C、和D。however意为“无论如何”；whenever意为“每当…”，根据句意，只有选C，意义才通。

2. A. 因为前面已经连词though了，所以不再需要连词了。Hard-working though he was=Although he was hard-working。

3. B. 因为as引导让步状语从句，要求将从句的表语或状语等放到句首。而although, while表示让步时，都用正常语序；另外，though引导的让步状语从句，其表语或状语等可提前也可不提前。

4. C. 因为immediately, instantly, directly和the moment, the instant, the minute等都可以用作连词，引导时间状语从句，相当于as soon as。

5. C. 因为表示“正要做某事时，突然又发生另一件事”的句型是：was /were just about to do sth. when…did…或was /were just on the point of doing sth. when…did…

6. C. 因为not…until…“直到…才…”，再接before语意上不通，要用after。

7. C. 因为no matter后一定要接疑问词或whether。

8. C. 引导状语从句时no matter how=however，其后接形容词或副词，只有C正确。

9. C. unless“除非、如果不”。句意是：大多数动物与其它不同种类的动物都没有什么联系，除非是把它们猎为食物。

10. A. 句意是：虽然他认为他在帮我们做工，但事实上他是在挡事。

11. B. 表示主、从句的谓语动词同时变化的“随着…”只能用as。

12. B. 因为keep the portrait (把照片放在…)后面一定是指所放的“地方”了，所以用where (在…的地方) 引导一个地点状语从句。

13. C. 因为非谓语动词的逻辑主语就是句子的主语，mistakes不能check，排除A和D；若用B，则前后是两个句子，又无连词，排除B。

答案解析(2)

14. A. 只有先A，前后意义才通：even if即使、纵然；so that为了、以便；as if. 好象；ever since从(那时)到现在。

15. D. 因为the moment可作连词，与as soon as相当(from www.yygrammar.com)。

16. D. until (直到…)与肯定句连用，引出的时间是主句谓语动词结束的时间。even though即使；in case以防万一；whenever每当、无论何时。

17. C. 因为now that =since“既然”。

18. A. 因为with pride (骄傲地) 是固定短语；where (在…的地方) 引导一个地点状语从句，

19. D. 由where引导一个地点状语从句，表示坐 (sat) 的地方；后面是带有连词的现在分词作时间状语，when waking=when he woke。

20. C. 因为It will be +时间段+ before…是固定句式，意为“过…之后才…”。句意是：要过五年之后，我们才会再次见面。

21. B. 因为whatever = no matter what引导一个让步状语从句，并作difficulty的定语。句意是：你无论遇到什么困难，也决不要灰心丧气。

22. C. 句意是：如果不允许我们喝啤酒，我们就不能喝。

23. C. 因为无先行词，不是定语从句，而是由where引导的一个地点状语从句。句意是：在它们过去居住的地方，你仍然可以找到鸟的骨头。

24. B. 题中when=since既然。句意是：既然他们把所有的空闲时间都用来看电视了，他们还能学到什么呢？

25. A. 因为while可以表示让步，与although相当，意为“虽然”。

26. C. 因为while有“只要”之意，与as long as相当。又如：While there is life, there is hope. 只要有生命，就会有希望。/留得青山在，不怕没柴烧。
